Ha speaking of, the gun show in Conroe occurs on government property, yet they post 30.06. I let them know that their sign was invalid, and that if this bill passed they could be fined for posting it. Their reply was that I don't have to attend if I don't like their safety rules, and did nothing to address the fact that the sign was not legally posted. I hope this passes so that I actually have some teeth to approach them with. Until then I suppose I'll carry anyway.
The gun show at George r Brown used to post 30.06, but the city of Houston made them remove it.
As a general good way to do things, advising someone that their sign is illegal / unenforceable isn't the best idea. Normally, they'll find a way to legally post the correct signage & then we're all faced with one less place to carry & another choice of disarm vs go somewhere else.

I am curious as to what the gun shows will do if this is signed into law. You know, action-reaction scenario.
I don't tell any businesses that their signs are unenforceable. I only told the gun show people because they CAN'T legally restrict carry by any means, so I'm not worried about that.

Those ordinances are already illegal as they preempt state chl law I believe. The bill doesn't seem like it would allow civil penalties in that situation because they are not posting 30.06. However, I'm sure there is someone to contact on the matter of preemption, I just do not know.
