Schools, Churches, and CHLs

[HighHandicap]

I was just reviewing the latest CHL codes and noticed section 46.035(b)(6)

"(b) A license holder commits an offense if the license holder intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries a handgun under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, regardless of whether the handgun is concealed, on or about the license holder's person: (6) on the premises of a church, synagogue, or other established place of religious worship."

Maybe I'm misreading this but it looks to me that churches no longer have to post 30.06 signs? I really hope I'm reading that wrong. It's been a while since I've been through my CHL class so maybe someone can refresh my memory on why we can carry at church?

Maybe people miss this. You need to read the entire statute all the way down to the end where the code was revised.

(i) Subsections (b)(4), (b)(5), (b)(6), and (c) do not apply if the actor was not given effective notice under Section 30.06.

Ah, thanks for the reminder! Good grief we need to clean up these language of these laws.

Maybe not. Some people may not like what they find.

No can do HighHandicapp. I, along with many others, have thought the same thing, but apparently the way it works in Texas is that they don't remove anything. They just make exceptions for it further down or say it no longer applies.
