They are not making the city buildings 06/07, just posting all open city meeting while in progress. That is allowed. The resolution will be considered at tomorrow's meeting.

I understand, I was just referring to the debacle from 2015. Pretty left leaning anti gun local government. I happened to need to go into the tax office not long after they were ordered to take down their .06 (and .07?) signs, and was harrassed by the police the entire time I was in the building. Not only did they demand that I show ID (not required by non ltc visitors), they ran a bg check on me, questioned why I needed to carry, and proceeded to follow me the entire time I was in the building.jmorris wrote: Mon Aug 05, 2019 7:35 pmThey are not making the city buildings 06/07, just posting all open city meeting while in progress.

That sounds like there is justification for a police harassment law suit.jb2012 wrote: Mon Aug 05, 2019 9:04 pmI understand, I was just referring to the debacle from 2015.

This is where a cease and desist letter from your lawyer, implying a suit for a very large percentage of their annual operating budget, may be a good idea. After sending it, carry a copy of it along with a copy of their response the next time you go to the courthouse.jb2012 wrote: Mon Aug 05, 2019 9:04 pmI understand, I was just referring to the debacle from 2015.

What am I missing? Are these meetings not on government property? Are they in a courtroom?jmorris wrote: Mon Aug 05, 2019 7:35 pmThey are not making the city buildings 06/07, just posting all open city meeting while in progress. That is allowed.

I apparently misunderstood the statute before and thought that city council meetings were automatically off-limits by statute. I guess I didn't read the part where they needed to provide notice.PC §46.035. UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE HOLDER
(c) A license holder commits an offense if the license holder intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries a handgun under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, regardless of whether the handgun is concealed or carried in a shoulder or belt holster, in the room or rooms where a meeting of a governmental entity is held and if the meeting is an open meeting subject to Chapter 551, Government Code, and the entity provided notice as required by that chapter

Concealed carry of handguns will still be allowed in city meetings following a vote by City Council.
