I have a friend who has been a undercover officer for about 10 years, and we were talking about carry permits, and we both agreed that they are pretty much worthless around our area because everywhere they are starting to post the no concealed weapon sign.
Who is going to walk up to a store, get to the door, see the "No Concealed Weapons" sign....go back to the car put the gun away, then walk back into the store? Does anyone acutally do this?? :roll:
How much legal force tdo those "No Concealed Weapons" signs have? In Texas the only sign that has any legal standing is the the '30.06' sign.
" (1) a card or "other document" that has written language "identical" to the following:
"Pursuant to Section 30.06, Penal Code (trespass by holder of license to carry a concealed handgun), a person licensed under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code (concealed handgun law), may not enter this property with a concealed handgun;" or
(2) A sign posted on the property that:
(a) "includes" the above language in both English and Spanish;
(b) appears in contrasting colors with block letters at least one inch in height; and
(c) is displayed in a conspicuous manner clearly visible to the public. "
Anything else (like those little 'gun with a slash through it' signs) have no standing at all. They mean nothing (except that the person who up it up is an idiot) and I pay no attention to them.
