Saw a new sign today.

They must post 30.06/30.07 like everyone else. They can give you verbal notice anyway they want.

I tend to be a bit deaf so they had better speak loudly.

Well don't tell them.

I didn't. I came here and told you folks. If I told them, they might fix the sign before I go back next weekend.

This one is posted at a local assisted living facility.

Signs are legally meaningless, but it still might be illegal to carry there. For example, posting the signs at a election location, etc. The sign does not make it illegal, but they are there to remind/inform you it is an illegal location.

That USED to be the case for churches and hospitals...
Now they have to post 30.06 signs like everyone else.
They have SOME of the right language on the sign above... depending on the situation, the LEO and his demeanor, and your attitude you could still get a citation (class C misdemeanor), but you can probably get it thrown out in court... how often does this happen? Concealed means concealed

Here's a chart that has helped me: http://txcha.org/texas-ltc-information/where-can-you-carry/

Interesting.
I would think carrying a long gun would be illegal at a professional sporting event.

If a LEO were to take enforcement action for ignoring a sign, a custodial arrest is always possible. Class C misdemeanors do not require a ticket in lieu of an arrest.

Just to be clear, you are not referring to the sign in the OP, correct?

Yes. Like at my local US Post Office where they have a gunbusters sign on the door -as a friendly reminder.

Where is the OP sign? What facility? City?

 

[ZX9RCAM]

Got to ask this question.
Can an improperly worded "gun buster" sign be considered "written warning" by the business owner?

Nope. Since it's not in the official form, it's not considered valid. Period.

 

[zincwarrior]

These signs serve the purpose of calming the sheeple while allowing us to carry. Just like gun buster signs. They are worth only their weight as boat anchors.

Has this ever been tested in court, one way or another?

 

[ZX9RCAM]

Nope. Since it's not in the official form, it's not considered valid. Period.

But, if you were handed a piece of paper with the same verbiage, that would be valid?

It is the case then & now for any place off limits to LTC.

 

[Lunyfringe]

My point is that Churches and medical facilities (which is where the OP picture, and the later picture were both taken) are NOT off limits unless posted 30.06. As I understand it, Churches and medical facilities used to be verboten until a change was made to the legislation.

Well isn't that peachy... sorta like that nice nurse that was arrested for refusing to take an unconscious man's blood... if it's found to be a wrongful arrest, then my lawyer will be seeing dollar signs.

I don't intend, nor do I want to be the test case- but the way the law is written, unless the entire verbiage is there, it's not a valid notification. More a case of shitty legislation writing than anything.

it isn't <technically> illegal until they write a law against it.... the laws they have written apply to handguns only, to... call it the "long gun loophole"

Are you going to test that theory?

 

[Lunyfringe]

I don't think so, but is 3gun considered a "professional sporting event"?
