Would you happen to know any details of what happened? Was the individual arrested an incarcerated while waiting for that DA? No matter how nicely things work out, unexpectedly spending even a day or two in some jail is NOT a small matter.speedsix wrote:...so far in Texas, I've only read of one person arrested under color of an unenforceable sign...and the DA declined to prosecuteRuark wrote:I'm wondering just how far they would go in enforcing that last sign. It's not valid, but it says "violators will be arrested and prosecuted." Has anybody run into attempted enforcement of one of these "invalid" signs?

Even if I know I have the right to carry, I'm really not in the mood to interrupt a relaxing afternoon drive with my wife with being arrested, cuffed, and taken to jail, possibly for several days, before having the opportunity to defend myself in front of a judge. That would be something of a, er, headache.

Re: Signs for the CHLer
Whoa. So basically you're saying that it doesn't matter WHERE it is - a police headquarters, hospital, FBI office, capitol building, whatever... if there's not an official notice, you can carry???C-dub wrote:...now they must post according to 30.06 or give effective notice some other way.

Re: Signs for the CHLer
Hold on a minute. Isn't it irrelevant whether or not a "no guns" sign in a hospital is compliant, because carrying a gun into a hospital is illegal, regardless?
