Texas signs

[Rob Boudrie]

My wife is at a nursing convention (she on the board of the org, so she has to go) and brought me along for "Companionship", though I think my role is gofer and baggage handler. Decided to grab photos of no guns signs to see if any were TX30.06/30.07 compliant.

No signs here:



A non-compliant one at Dennys:



And Hyatt (though I believe the transport to room part cannot be banned even with a 30.06/.07 sign)



And CVS (There are still things TX requires a carry permit for, despite constitutional carry LTC Benefits | Department of Public Safety). MA is currently on the "recognized by TX" (State Reciprocity Information | Department of Public Safety). Since most states are valid in TX, those who play the save the whales game ("collect the whole set") can play "pick a card, any card" if challenged.



And finally the one compliant sign I found at the Menger hotel (though it is still bound by the hotel carry for storage law)



The penalty for violating a 30.06/30.07 sign in up to $200 with an affirmative defense of leaving the property property promptly after being asked to leave - https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/86R/billtext/pdf/HB00121F.pdf#navpanes=0

What is interesting is they took the teeth out of that law so "f em" is a viable option. If there were any jail time possible, even if never applied in practice for the offense, conviction would be a lifetime MA disqualifier.

Beautiful and interesting history at the Alamo. Cool trip and thanks for sharing this info.

Ah yes, $200, surely it would ruin my day to lose $200.

I suspect that not many TX cops would write someone up for $200 who agreed to leave when asked.

Just give them your hipoint as payment

Here's the Missouri version of a compliant sign at the local bank:

Plus a Benjamin to make up the difference?

I assume it's a yeet cannon. You may be right.

Bitch that's my yeet cannon... no one getting that

Kay jewelers in plymouth have a no gun sign on the door. I chuckled at it.
Waiting for my wife a younger guy with a pro gun shirt came in. I said I liked his shirt. He asked if I saw the door and we both had a good sensible laugh.

 

[LittleCalm]

Is it just me or is it ironic that it is 30.06? Or was that intentional?

Why give your money to a business that wants to restrict firearms? f*** them. Go somewhere else.

Texas signs have the force of law behind them, so it makes it even easier.

@Rob Boudrie keep an eye out for 51% signs. Those are a real PITA. Any establishment which receives 51% or more of it's revenue from sale of alcohol (consumed on premises I believe) has to post a sign but these are usually not posted on the doors but closer to the bar or inside the establishment somewhere and all carry is prohibited. There are places that will post a 51% sign that aren't actually at 51% and they do it to be dickheads and ban carry at all.

Only if they conform to the law do they have the force of law.

Missouri you say, is that really a bank or Timbo's front door?

 

[drgrant]

Also in TX, if there's an entrance with no signage the prohibition is invalid. Nobody pays attention to that shit there, it was a skid greasing deal to get CHLs passed. A cheap tradeoff, it's rare antis get almost nothing in return.

 

[FrugalFannie]

Oh, I need to wait for the guy who claims MA law is better for gun owners than TX law is because we have binding signage.
We also have constitutional carry now and if you do get your LTC and want to buy a gun at an FFL, you don't have to wait for the background check to come back. And you actually don't need a license to own or possess any firearm related anything here in TX.

Due to supply chain challenges and inflation, a hi point now costs 2 hi points. Thank you for your understanding.

Back in 2016 did the exact same thing. I accompanied my wife on a nursing conference in San Antonio and also took note of anti firearm signs. This was the only one I took a photo of, and it was at a bar.



I had fun visiting local gun shops, bars, and museums while she attended her conferences.

If you shop in an anti 2A small business. Yes.

If you shop in an anti 2A large business(example Walmart). Maybe.

Here's a hint. I've lived in TX.

good for you. I live here now and have been for 7 years (when we aren't traveling)
