Ah; thanks, Keith. Based on the way it was presented, I was looking for something in the Penal Code that would have some effective impact on PC §30.06. My opinion--and it isn't a professional one--is that the change in the Occupations Code has no bearing whatsoever, from a CHL standpoint, on a facility that properly posts §30.06.Keith B wrote:http://www.legis.state.tx.us/tlodocs/83 ... navpanes=0
And I agree with TacShot: it's moot whether a handgun is coming into the facility via on-body versus off-body carry. If properly posted, it's illegal to remain on the property with a concealed handgun no matter how the gun got there. So even if you wanted to get tricky and leave the gun locked in luggage and have the concierge send a bellman to unload your car and take the bags to your room--so that technically you never entered the property with a concealed handgun--once you get to your room you are in violation because you have resumed possession of your handgun.
I've run into this situation a few times before when resort/hotel rooms were organizationally booked for specific events. No practical choice of where to stay; there was no nearby option to move to. I absolutely hate leaving my firearm in the lockbox in the center console, but that's what I had to do. I did go to the SUV to check on it daily, though, to make sure it was still secure.
