A couple of years ago, I did just that - sent them a picture referencing the non-compliant language of the Grapevine Mills Mall sign (article 4413, revised statutes, etc...) I asked specifically, does this sign meet the requirements of Section 30.06? Can a CHL holder be prosecuted for carrying there.

After about 6 weeks, I got an email back from DPS legal department, telling me that they did not offer legal advice. (What do they do there, then? ) And then they cut and pasted Section 30.06. Like I didn't already have that???

So, go ahead, knock yourself out. Just don't expect much for your efforts.

OK, so if I understand this correctly, they wanted to pat YOU down and search your lady friend's bag.

Looks like the answer to this is, your lady needs to carry on-body, and you need to get a man purse!

Seriously, come to think of it, I have been ASKED if I had a weapon, but I have NEVER been patted down. Never, not once. I guess the ladies finally get to have an advantage in the gun toting department!
