Got it. I like their approach. Hope all law enforcement takes the same attitude and approach.

They made it very clear they recognize the 4th Amendment limitations. They do not plan to use the act of carrying alone as a reason to detain and demand someone to show their LTC.

I read in another thread Austin PD has indicated the same position.

That went very Similar to the Dallas one, good :)

They seemed to be unclear about carry in a government building. I thought I heard them say that it was prohibited. Did anyone else catch that?

Yes. The Round Rock Training officer said government buildings were prohibited for CHL/OC. I was trying to figure out how to send a question via Facebook to ask him why he says that, but couldn't get it done. I also disagree with the statement that a waiter can give you notice to leave.

Why do you think the waiter as an employee or agent of the business can't ask you to leave or cover up? I think he/she can.

I think they were confused, since "concealed carry" not prohibit-able in Govt buildings which aren't otherwise prohibited by say 46.03 etc ...

but that isn't "open carry" ......which passed after the city/state thingy

(I'm tired, hopefully you know what I meant to say)

They got a bit more befuddled trying to explain "Notice" under 30.05 in city buildings where if a meeting was in progress they might post 30.06 and a 30.07 sign and would need a 30.05 sign to prohibit concealed rifles ...

I believe that tonight's questions and answers will be posted on Round Rock's/ Police Depts website

I don't think a waiter would have authority to speak for the establishment. What if the waiter was irked because you asked extra bread and tells you to get out under threat of trespass if you fail to do so. I don't think 30.06 gives extra authority to a waiter nor a bus boy nor a sales clerk nor any one not put in a position of authority by management and/or owner at a retail establishment. The remarks by the panel on conflicts between a waiter and the manager show how silly that would be to allow it. Monkeys running the circus comes to mind. IANAL so I could be wrong

I too disagree on the waiter thing. A waiter does not speak for the establishment. It is of my opinion that the authority person is the one making the rules. If the waiter can't say, ok it's time to close down the restaurant for the evening, they can't give you notice to leave. Same thing with a walmart cashier. They don't speak for the overall interests of the store. That is what managers are for.
