Some help please before I go back and speak with the Kempner Police chief again.
I had cause to go to the Kempner police station / City Hall and meet with the police chief, a nice guy BTW, Pro2 A, and no issue with concealed carry in general, even in his building (stated verbally, and there in is the issue)
The building which houses the police station off to the left of a main foyer and city offices off the right of a main foyer. One of the city offices is a room used by both a judge once a month for hearings and the city commission one a month to hold hearings.
The main entrance is marked with a 30.06 & 30.07 sign
In speaking with the Chief he said "I have no problem with someone with an LTC carrying into the building to speak with the ladies" that was in reference to me asking why the entire building was posited vice just the part of building used for court, or used for city gov meetings while in use.
I suggested that it presented a issue for his citizens in that, I was now by law required to disarm and leave my weapon in my vehicle to come in to the building as the sign is on the out side of main doors.
His concern was restricting CC into the court rooms and "protecting the ladies" But he also admitted criminals would not obey the signs.
I asked if he was aware of a TX AG opinion that addressed this issue specifically, and he responded he had not read or heard of such an opinion that conflicted with how they posted signs.
It was an open, pleasant conversation and he seemed receptive to doing what was "right" under the law.... personal opinion aside that right would be no restriction what so ever on LTC holders, he seem willing to listen to what was legally required.
All that to say I want to get him the appropriate AG opinion to reference the issue.
I think it is Opinion No. KP-0047
Re: The extent to which firearms may be
excluded from buildings that contain courts,
offices utilized by the courts, and other county
officials (RQ-0040-KP) https://texasattorneygeneral.gov/opinio ... kp0047.pdf
Is anyone aware of a more relevant TX AG Opinion or an addition one that is supportive?
I will also provide the Chief a link to the TX AG 30.06 "ruling Letter" page https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/30 ... ng-letters
Respectfully
