Show Me Texas Law That Says I Cannot Carry Rifle In <51% Place

[Bithabus]

There is no such law. It is legal to carry long guns into Walmart, Specs etc

 

[Bithabus]

Next time you go to walmart, look at the blue sign on the door that says it is a felony to bring an unlicensed firearm in. It has the code on the bottom IIRC.
The is no license fore long guns.

You misunderstand what that sign means and this is why you believe carrying a rifle into walmart is illegal.

That sign gives notice of the fact that penalty for carrying a handgun into the licensed premises in violation of 46.02 is increased from a misdemeanor to a felony. Has nothing to do with rifles.

46.03 says you cannot bring a firearm into any premises licensed or issued a permit by this state for the sale of alcoholic beverages that is 51%.

This is incorrect. 46.03 says you can't take a "location restricted knife" into a bar. Long gun carry in bars is legal.

You are right. I was unable to parse all those paragraphs on my phone. But on my desktop I can see that is part of a-1. thx.

Aren't all "bars" going to be 51% posted?

They are supposed to be. Legally that means you can't carry your handgun but you can carry a long gun. Until they throw you out.

Not Twin Peaks in San Angelo. So I guess it's a restaurant but.....

 

[avvidclif]

Got it! So that dude who carried his rifle into the Wal Mart in Missouri was not doing it illegally unless there was something that prohibits that in Missouri I'm not aware of?

Except this discussion is covering Texas law not Missouri.

That's one of the reasons I specified "bars".

What defines a "restricted knife" in the world of our wonderful lawmakers?

I could be wrong, I have been before.
I am busy chasing puppies for a while. I will research more later today.

(6) "Location-restricted knife" means a knife with a blade over five and one-half inches.

Thanks. Maybe some folks aren't grabbing the percent numbers hard enough ! One could own a bar/restaurant and allow legal carry of anything if they made their money from 50% food and 50% alcohol.

Assuming private property, a gunbuster sign effectively prohibits any carry of a long gun in a particular location, correct?

I thought gun buster signs specify handguns?

On private property (home, business, etc.) the owner can't make laws, only rules. If you wanted to come in my house or place of business (assuming it's not otherwise controlled by the government), and I didn't want you to, trespassing would probably be the only offense that would apply.

The sign, ... right, wrong, misleading .............. you are correct! It only shows a handgun.

Of course I was presuming when he stated gun buster, he meant 30.06/30.07.
Everybody knows that the actual gun buster signs don't mean squat.

Legislature determined signs were ambiguous, which is why we have 06/07.
