Comparing yourself to Boston colonists probably will not engender a British company to your cause of carrying weapons in their presence. Even if you feel that way, it is probably best to find another way of conveying your message which appropriately targets your audience's concerns.

Ahh, there's that pesky rational logic thingy again. I tell people all the time that you need to resist the urge to say what you want to say, and instead force yourself to figure out the words and actions that are the most likely to get your desired result. It feels so much better to just react based on emotion.

I was at least partially kidding about the Revolutionary war reference. Maybe I'll compare them to BP instead.

Just wanted to clarify one minor point in this, since the LEOSA was also mentioned above. With some legal debate in Texas, 30.60 signs, and CHL laws in other states, do apply to out of state peace officers and effectively ban them. The LEOSA does not apply to places where state law allows private property owners to ban guns, so under normal conditions, 30.06 would apply to LEOs. Texas allows LEOs to carry without regard to 30.06, under PC 46.15. But the exception in 46.15 only applies to Texas peace officers (section 1.07 of the Penal Code says so). So, out of state LEOs carrying under the benefit of LEOSA must obey 30.06 signs. When they do violate it, they are unlawfully carrying under 46.02, not trespassing under 30.06 though.
