Fix 30.06 wording?

I touched on this in another thread, but maybe we should examine it separately here. 30.06 wording is currently as follows:
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.
The problem being that, in the case of private property, this wording gives the false impression that the property owner had no choice in the matter. While most of us should understand the implications pretty well, someone from out of state could easily be misled by this sign, and assume that all businesses of that type are off-limits, or that the property owner is not exercising his free will in banning licensed carriers from the property.

It could also turn a simple printing into a more serious issue if a non-CHL has decided that, for example, all gas stations are off limits since they've seen one posted with 30.06.

So, is it an issue worth taking up, and if so, how should the wording be changed?
