Hm; they left out "former executive director of the Texas State Rifle Association."

Thank you both. I apologize for my feckless failure of accuracy in reportage. :lol:

Plus, if I'm not mistaken, Charles once said something in my presence of having been a judge for a time. Am I remembering that correctly?

Then it has no legal bearing on anyone with an LTC.

Carry concealed and there's ZERO violation.

Carry open and there's violation only if you fail to leave after having been given proper notice.
Well, I know that, but maybe someone isn't happy to have to put up "big ugly signs", that's all I'm saying.
It doesn't matter if they are happy or not. They still need to follow the law for the sign to have the force of law.
I've been here on this forum for awhile now, I understand how it works, and I agree 100%. I think maybe the OP isn't happy to have to put up big ugly signs, and wanted to complain here to the rest of us about their unhappiness.
I know you've been here a while. That is why I was surprised by your comment which portrayed an apparent lack of understanding.
I understood k.mooneyham's post to mean what he said......not that HE agrees with the OP, but that he speculates that the OP is motivated by not wanting to have to post a compliant sign at his own business. OTH, I assumed that OP lives in Texas. Apparently Keith B knows differently.......in which case OP is trying to make Oklahoma law apply in Texas.......which is no different logically than if I were to insist that my LTC is valid in California.

Re: Dispelling a myth about "no guns allowed" signs

azwe wrote:I most definitely have busted a myth. People on this forum think "a no guns allowed sign with no 30.06 or 30.07 sign means I'm safe to carry here" which isn't the case. The business owner clearly doesn't want your business. Every business I've been to with a "no guns allowed" sign has been very unfriendly and people on this forum think they're immune from trespassing. These are the same people who walk into businesses with improper 30.06 signs thinking they can walk right in with no problem. This is completely wrong.
The only myth here is your understanding of the law. You are factually wrong. If you don't believe it, ask the guy who got 30.06 passed .......the owner of this forum.

My guess is that his legislative experience and experience as a cop, attorney, and prosecutor probably trump your experience as a legal analyst: https://www.nradefensefund.org/officers.aspx#cotton
