How is this different than the argument about needing two signs if open carry is decriminalized? If a 30.06 sign is sufficient for MPA, why wouldn't it be sufficient for OC handguns? And vice versa.Charles L. Cotton wrote:That would certainly be my argument if I were defending a criminal trespass charge under those circumstances, however, it's not that clear. Remember, TPC §30.05 is the code section that applies to trespass for everyone for every reason, other than a CHL carrying a handgun. Remember too that TPC §30.05 does not require any specific language like that required by TPC §30.06. It would be hard to argue that a 30.06 sign didn't get the message across (for purposes of TPC §30.05) that the property owner didn't want guns on the property.sjfcontrol wrote:I think the point is that 30.06 only applies to CHL holders. Carrying in a car is legal for EVERYBODY (with certain restrictions) thanks to the Motorist Protection Act. Therefore leaving a firearm in your car would NOT be illegal even in a 30.06-posted lot.
Chas.
Then there's long guns. I always have at least one in my vehicle and like I said in the PCC thread, I've carried a concealed Kel-Tec carbine where it's legal but CHL handguns are prohibited.
