Actually, I believe the LEO COULD have the authority. All that has to happen is the Pastor telling him 'You have the authority to keep anyone from entering the church with a firearm', and he is now deputized (pun intended) and is an official representative of the church. He is now a person of authority and the oral notification you had received is valid. All it would take to convict would be the Pastor testifying or swearing a statement that the LEO had the authority to advise.chefkristian wrote:dicion wrote: Second.... the LEO had no authority to tell you not to carry there (not being the owner, or representative of the owner). But by taking it further, If the preacher told you not to carry there, however, THAT qualifies as notice under 30.06. You pretty much messed up there.
Well that cleared up my post, thanks.
