Well-intended bill to keep gun owners from being surprised, but it makes it easy to use TPC §30.06 to prohibit CHL from entering property with a handgun.
Instead of a bill making it easier for businesses to enact further prohibitions on our RKBA we should instead be backing bills to further reduce business' ability to do so.
Regardless of the original intent of the filer, this bill if passed into law will turn into a backdoor method to prevent CHL holders from exercising their rights on the road. No good can come from this bill in my opinion.
I firmly agree with the bill as it protects the CHL and the private-property owner (the Hotel). I also agree with the desire for the bill to be amended to reflect full-disclosure (Gun-related and otherwise) by the proprietor.
