I like to think the law is our shield here. I understand others' points about the risks of walking past an improper 30.06. But I think we should walk right past them. Same for gun busters and outdated verbiage signs. It seems that using that logic (that you don't want to press your luck and be a test case) we are at risk anytime we carry anywhere and should always consider leaving our guns in our gun safes. You know, just in case.

Ok, perhaps I'm just feeling feisty since I went to the range today. :)

C-dub, thanks for the link to the other thread. It was quite interesting to see the back and forth. It seems ultimately that the instructor backpedaled a bit while still somewhat standing by what he said. I find it rather disheartening that the DPS instructions seem to have introduced doubt to something that seemed absolutely clear before (30.06). I guess my personal standard will be that if I see a sign saying anything about the licensed possession I will turn away. I'll assume gun busters signs are like the "blue signs".


Thanks to everyone for the responses.

I'm a relative newbie here. I found the very useful Texas3006.com link by lurking around the forum. On that website there are several businesses listed in the Austin area as having invalid 30.06 signs because the letter height is under 1 inch. The following comment is attached to many of those businesses' entries by a user, Chaz7138 all from around 5/1/2012.

I'll tell you what DPS Legal told us Instructors on at least 3 consecutive renewal classes. If you see the wording required by PC30.06 DON'T GO BEHIND IT even if the letters are not the right height and or the wording is not exactly correct, the intent is clear. You can be arrested & prosecuted, even if your acquitted you will spend a lot of money on lawyers!!

Is this Chaz "the" Charles from TexasCHLForum.com? Are there any other instructors that can confirm this? It would seem that if this person was in 3 consecutive classes that mentioned this that it would be a well established (and documented) policy by now.

Hopefully I'm not
