Saw my first 30.07 sign

[benenglish]

Note: I looked and used the search function and found no thread devoted to 30.07 sightings so I thought I'd start one. If I missed a pre-existing thread, I apologize.

I saw my first 30.07 posting today, at St. Lukes hospital, Houston Med Center. Oddly, they didn't have room for the 30.07 posting next to the 30.06 posting so they put it on an auxiliary entrance off to the side from the main sliding doors between the drop-off area and the lobby. That entrance is mainly used by some foot traffic and the valets. I've never liked the fact that half the people who enter the building will go through a door around which there's no 30.06 sign; if they're going to post, I wish they'd post at each entrance. However, this off-to-the-side 30.07 sign is going to be missed by 99% of the people entering. Only licensed carriers will look for it and even they are unlikely to see it.

The whole thing just strikes me as odd.

Is anybody else seeing 30.07 signs go up next to or near 30.06 signs? Typically, where?

It's not even the end of 2015 and they seem to be 'JUMPING THE GUN' on a law that is not yet in effect.

Lame!

30.07 has to be posted at every entrance, unlike 30.06

Good to know!

Really? That's interesting. I wonder what the definition of "entrance" is, specifically if it's equivalent to "door". It's clear from the phrasing on their web site that St. Lukes considers "the Bates entrance" to be a single entrance, even though there are at least 4 doors the enter into that lobby and those doors are sufficiently separated that a notice posted at just one will not be seen by most people.

I guess that's why they employ lawyers.

true dat!

BE, May we assume that you obeyed the signage and chose not to carry openly?

 

[jrbfishn]

I guess if they don't have room for both, they will have to choose one.

How in the world can a 30.06 sign be posted on one entrance and be enforceable?

They expect the CHL holder to make a round of the entire buildings perimeter to make sure?

Our office just put up .06 and .07 signage at every conceivable entrance point.

We're now a better target for violence, is my first thought.

...and you're right. It effectively bars all law abiding firearm carriers from your office, so when the day comes that some "button-down, Oxford-cloth psycho snaps, and then stalks from office to office with an Armalite AR-10 carbine gas-powered semi-automatic weapon, pumping round after round into colleagues and co-workers," there is no one to stop him before it's too late.

Is your resume ready?

It's even better than that. 30.06 signs are not even required to be at entrances. They only need to be displayed in a conspicuous manner clearly viable to the public...whatever you interpret that to mean. No one ever said common sense was involved...this is law we are talking about.

When did this change? I thought the 30.06 sign had to be at every entrance and very visible.

Nope.

(B) a sign posted on the property that:
(i) includes the language described by Paragraph (A) in both English and Spanish;
(ii) appears in contrasting colors with block letters at least one inch in height; and
(iii) is displayed in a conspicuous manner clearly visible to the public.

Yes.

 

[Mreed911]

Yes.

Thank God the sign was there to keep you legal. You might have accidentally open carried without it imparting useful knowledge to you.

 

[drhuggybear]

Nope.

Item (iii) is the kicker. If I have 4 entrances to my building and I only post the signs at 1. That is not CONSPICUOUS or CLEARLY VISIBLE.

Sure it is. At least it could be argued that way.
