The private renter can post a sign, but not a criminally enforceable sign. The law is quite clear, 30.06/7 doesn't apply to government property. And the AG opinion that allows posting of signs on government property by private entities is actually not that broad and could arguably only apply to specific cases of non-profit leases.sailor2000 wrote:I recall reading on this forum that if a govt owned property is rented by a non govt organization, then the property or premise is under the control of the renter and the renter may post enforceable 30.06 / 30.07 signs for the portion of the premise under their control. (I think I saw this in a discussion of gun shows in govt buildings posting 30.06 / 30.07)
The govt owner of the building cannot post enforceable 30.06/30.07 but a private renter can.

Re: Is This Sign Legal?
Really...he can tell that I'm carrying with his cop x-ray vision? But despite being one of law enforcement's concealed carry super spotters, he forgets that 30.06 doesn't apply and is only a class c anyway with no jail as a possible penalty. Then he calls the squad car to come and pick me up and doesn't bother to tell the dispatcher why he is transporting me and for what crime I'm being arrested.Abraham wrote:Consider an ill informed or overzealous LEO at the Convention Center.
He spots you carrying. With his experience he can tell (even when well concealed) you're carrying, arrests you on the spot and takes you for the ride.
All the while, you're disarmed, cuffed up in the back seat of his patrol car while you protest that the 30.06 signage is unenforceable due to the city owning the property, blah, blah, blah.
The LEO just grins at you and says: "Tell it to the judge" - Now just shut up!
Oh wait, THAT scenario couldn't possibly happen, what with how wonderfully informed ALL LEO's keep up with the various laws that apply to the holder of a CHL/LTC.
Right?
This is why I never concealed carry outside my home, since 46.15 is just a "defense to prosecution" and I really don't want to take the "ride" with all these eagle eyed deputies out there.
