It gets abused sometimes. Govt buildings post unenforceable signs, and other properties post invalid signs. The law is so convoluted Police might not understand the nuances and an innocent party could be harassed or arrested.
Also, in our country property owners don't have every right to decide who they want on their property. Walmart can't decide "no blacks" or "no gays", for example. These signs make it too easy for ignorant hate mongers to discriminate against us.
Actually, they don’t if they are open to the public.
That was the argument used to get 30.06/30.07 in place.
Why does a business open to the public get to pick and choose who can enter it to do business?
How absurd would it be for the state to have a trespass with religion statute that would allow business owners to criminalize the patronage of people carrying religious paraphernalia openly or concealed?
Secondly, the statues are mechanically poor as they only cover handguns. AOWs and long guns aren’t covered.
Then, there’s confusion with the TABC blue signage and all the questionable/invalid postings.
Going back to the original reasoning when CHL was passed in Texas, there was an unfounded fear of shootouts everywhere. Haven’t seen that, have we?
30.06 and 30.07 need to be erased.

You had one job, one.
If your salary is from tax dollars you cannot use collective bargaining. (Look at what the teachers union does to CA)
All of the above plus stop subsidizing private business with my tax dollars. If you can’t run a profitable business you don’t deserve to be in business.
I’m a big proponent of private property rights; however, I don’t see other states having this convoluted signage mess that Texas has. Just wondering how other states address your concerns without their state legislatures being so damn “creative” when it comes firearm signage?
End to sanctuary cities.

My posts don't count....
Teachers in Texas don't have a union, per se. They have professional organizations that can lobby in Austin (mostly unsuccessfully), but they have no collective bargaining or strike ability per law. All the things currently failing in the TX education system are due to Austin's meddling and incompetent administrators and school boards. Teachers want to teach....not test or build stadiums.

Except I doubt the good folks in any of those cities want thousands of lobbyists and political class leaches moving in.
But that doesn't mean we should have a special law for the anti-gunners. You can put up a sign saying you don't want dogs, or food, or any other object on your property and 99% of us will respect that. If someone doesn't make them leave. Criminal trespass laws are already in place.
