E.T.M.C. Improperly Posted

[Oldgringo]

I noticed yesterday that the little 30.06 sign on the E.T.M.C. hospital in Jacksonville has the incorrect wording on it. The sign contained:

Pursuant to Section 30.06, Penal Code (trespass by holder of license to carry a concealed handgun), a person licensed under Article 4413(29ee), Revised Statutes (concealed handgun law), may not enter this property with a concealed handgun"...

A proper 30.06 sign contains the following wording:

"Pursuant to Section 30.06, Penal Code (trespass by holder of license to carry a concealed handgun), a person licensed under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code (concealed handgun law), may not enter this property with a concealed handgun"

I suspect all of the other E.T.M.C. facilities in east Texas use the same "almost correct" sign. Cross it at your peril.

PS:

Thank ScottDLS' sharp eye during the ongoing Chuck e Cheese saga for noticing this fine line difference in wording.

Interesting. I think the similar wording error was with the Grapevine Mills Mall sign. The Chuck E sign in Grapevine, which is new, is clearly too small. While I believe you would be legal in both places based on the incorrect signage, it would be easier to argue in CEC because the sign. It is hard to see because of it's size and placement.

The sign on ETMC Jacksonville consists of small (3/4") white letters on a clear background. It definitely does not jump out at one. I inadvertantly (sorta') carried past it yesterday but don't tell anyone.

...ETMC's signs as described above reference an almost 17-year-old law which has been amended several times...their sign is unenforceable... http://www.texas-on-line.com/graphic/txccw.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Huntsville used to use the 51% sign, "because it is cheaper", even in the alcohol recovery unit!

After CHL passed Woodland Heights Hospital here in Lufkin also sported the 51% signs for a long time. Now they have the ghost busters.

WOW!

If a hospital derives 51% of it revenue from the sale of alcohol, those must be some high-priced cocktails!!

Perhaps they include all the ethanol (rubbing alcohol).
