So I took this today while waiting to finish up some paper work at my university in Houston. I'm not completely read on the new chl rules but how can have the area be restricted for only certain times?
Simple. There are certain times they don't want people there carrying concealed firearms. NOTHING in the law says restricting access must be permanent.
With that said, I don't believe that is a legal sign.
^^^^^^^^^ Correct.
With respect to the sign, the wording is correct, but we don't know if the lettering meets the legal standard for height (at least 1" high), also for the sign to be legally binding it must be displayed in BOTH English and Spanish.
Note: The lack of a 30.07 sign (Open Carry) suggests it would be O.K. to carry openly, but I suspect the person(s) who posted the 30.06 sign simply don't know that (yet). Lots of misinformation circulating among businesses.
There's no way it's legal.
Compounding the confusion at UH, I was at Houston's Hobby Airport this morning and saw numerous signs warning "NO UNREGISTERED FIRARMS BEYOND THIS POINT". Or something close to that, in large letters but in language definitely not up to the standard required in Texas to be a legal warning. It was strange for a such large airport.
Y'know, LE weapons in Texas are not "registered" either."NO UNREGISTERED FIRARMS BEYOND THIS POINT".
They can post non-compliant signs until the cows come home and do it on every door, window, and whiteboard, but that doesn't mean they carry the force of law
LOL, I was trying to be funny. As flint pointed out, so much is wrong with the sign that it is laughable.
.
The ONLY thing that is wrong with this signage is that it isn't also repeated in Spanish. Otherwise, yes...it does carry the weight of the law. I mean I guess if you're afraid of a class C misdemeanor and a $200 fine anyway.

Y'think they'd be ok if I brought a "registered" M-1928 Tommy to the airport?
