This is posted at a local restaurant in Texas. I don't believe this is enforceable. Of course, they can ask me to leave, but I don't think a CHL holder could be prosecuted to this extent. Opinions??Thanks!

The operative word here on your CHL is "license".
Read it carefully........unlicensed possession...........The penalty for unlicensed possession is the same inside as it is outside and the penalty is whatever the law says it is in Texas.
I doesn't say licensed carry is prohibited.
Duhhhhhhh. Sorry to waste your time.
It has to have the specific 30.06 wording. Just walk on by you're legal.
Pretty classy sign, though.
I believe that sign is required to be posted in Texas establishments that serve alcohol. The sign is on most restaurants included those inside the Houston IAH airport.
"Merci", even. Very classy.Quote:

Correct, "unlicensed possession" does not apply to CHLs, as we are indeed licensed.Quote:

I saw a sign like that is a restaurant and had to take a double take as well. Had to read it 3 times before I saw "unlicensed", then I knew I was OK.
It doesn't meet the requirements spelled out in 30.06...thus, not enforceableQuote:

There is nothing to enforce, this is not a choice of the owner. If you carry a unlicensed gun into a restaurant that serves alcohol in Texas you are committing a felony, period. 30.06 signs are for CHL holders who are licensed to carry into (non-51%) establishments. This sign is just bureaucratic fluff mandated by the state.Quote:
