    Hi folks, I know that there were some changes last year to LTC rules but one thing I'm trying to figure out is if the carrying of a handgun by a LTC holder still prohibited in government meetings like City Council Meetings and the like? Too much conflicting information on the internets.

    Prohibited .
    • At any meeting of a governmental entity (if the meeting is subject to the Texas Open Meetings Act per Government Code Chapter 551, and effective notice of prohibition is given per Penal Code Chapter 30);

    I came to Texas Gun Talk for info, specifically from anyone who might point to a solid resource since the Texas State statutes are not updated so much as amended and a royal pain to sort it all out.

    An internet forum...
    Which is the embodiment of the multiple opinions on any subject, And who's "advice" is worthless legal conjecture.

    You better figure a way to sort it out if your going to bet your life and freedom on them.

    Just saying.

    I guess people will never stop self diagnosing life threatening symptoms by posting on the internet either.

    Both are a testament, to paraphrase a famous general, to the folly of man.


    You're going to end up where you started, or should have. Hojis link is a good start.

    People have the sum total of mans knowledge at their fingertips and still ask a stranger like it's a life line on a game show instead of opening the encyclopedia sitting infront of them.


    Sorry to come off like an ars. I'm trying to work on it.


    Kinda.

    THanks I'd been looking at that and I missed the part where they embedded the list of prohibited places. I also see they updated it as it removed churches so that's good. I really wish they would just re-word laws rather than tack on new ones that reference old ones but asshole politicians and lawyers and all that; plus our long-gone founding fathers aren't around to tar and feather folks like that.

    But the state or a political subdivision of the state can't give notice...
    Yes. Yes they can and they do. It's just not a 30.06/7 warning, its generally a sign that remind the bearer that per PC46.035 there is a meeting and you can't carry under GC411, chap H (some carry under PC46.15(a)(1))

    Well that's a reminder to double-check the law before I want to go make a point somewhere.

    Yep, you see an 06/07 sign on govt property, you have to double check for a meeting, etc.

    It is STUPID they use the same sign and not a dedicated gov meeting sign.

    Agreed, but 2A would seem to be simple enough for everyone to agree on the meaning, but yet some places still have no clue.

    So, is signage required for post office parking lots?
    I'm having a discussion with someone that says this is so.
    No sign, then okay to have a gun in PO parking lot.
    I say they are wrong.

    I may be mistaken, so take this with huge helping of salt!

    I think they did reverse it so that it was legal to have one in your vehicle in the parking lot, then I think within a year, they reversed again and they were not allowed in any way on postal office property, including the parking lots in your vehicle.

    Not 100% sure about that though. Maybe someone has better information or more current information than mine.

    Depends upon who owns/leases the parking lot. If it is the Feds, no sign. But then technically local PD has no power to arrest either.

    “The Tenth Circuit ruled that the parking lot adjacent to the actual building was considered postal property and as such, the post office could prohibit firearms from being stored in a vehicle.”

    Thank you sir for sharing that. That could be where I read it some time back.
