Yes, they do...

The declaration would have more weight if Texas passed Constitutional Carry as the law of the land.

All hats, no cattle. I’ll believe it when they start selling suppressors in hardware stores and throw ing ATF boys in jails.

Enlighten us as to what they are please.

basically you need a permit to carry. Carry is defined as on your person off your property. Your car is considered your property so you don’t need one to have it in the car. Permit is shall issue once you take a class. No restrictions on ownership - if it’s federally legal you can own it permit or not. There are some restrictions where you can carry. Bars, government buildings, schools.

that's it.

Other than binding signage, not aware of too much BS in Texas. I'd go tomorrow if I could. That said, I'm very hopeful that Gov. Faker will make MA a 2A sanctuary state!

You are correct. Lots of 30.06 and 30.07 signage in most stores, and it's binding. By carrying in these places one can be a subject of a Class C or Class A misdemeanor.

I will plead ignorance, but there is consensus here that TX is far from perfect .

For me a sanctuary state would:

No live fire competency requirement

Open carry/Constitutional carry

No sales tax on guns and bullets

Stand your ground

No insurance surcharges for ownership of guns in homes or apartments

State based electoral college

Term limits

Notification not require during LEO interactions.

Shooting ranges are constutionally protected by TX constitution

No vehicle transport requirements

Carry long gun in front seat a-ok

No nuisance laws, for lawful firearm use

Carry on boats, atvs, dirt bikes and sand rails permitted

Didn't Missouri do this?

Looks like Tesla has a job that I am qualified for paying just under what I am making now in TX. So tempted to pack it up and head south.

Freedom man.

Yes , but they folded like tissue paper when the feds came a calling.

1. Find a cost-of-living calculator and see if it even is a pay cut.
2. Put on your thinking cap and make sure you're either confident that Tesla will be around, or that your skills are in sufficient demand that you can get another job if Tesla ever shrinks.
3. Fly; be free.

Isn’t Waco in Texas?

I thought the Bill of Rights was supposed to make America a sanctuary from all the other nations that lived under the boot of tyranny.
Sad that Texas even needs to do this.

Seems like a proverbial whoa b;tch whoa, to Sheila Jackson Lee and her pre-filed 8-9 anti 2A bills.

I’ve literally never seen an 06 sign. I’ve seen 07’s but as I don’t open carry it’s not an issue.

 

[FiremanBob]

Yes, but IIRC, a rabid Democrat named Ann Richards was governor then.

Bar, or restaurants that make more money in the bar. Few places I really like to carry a gun, a place that servers alcohol is one of them.

I see very few stores with signage. some stores post 30.07 but not 30.06.

that was the Feds fugging it up

 

[FrugalFannie]

the place has to earn 51% or more of it's revenue from alcohol to post the 51% sign (prohibiting carry). Most restaurants don't make 51% from alcohol.

Houston is full of them. Maybe because of the high crime taking place all over the city?

Just massoles hating on a better place. Nicer people, better climate, prettier women.

Most state buildings other than LE, jails, courts can not prohibit carry on your person. You can walk onto UT Austin and carry.

I've way more 07 signs than 06 signs. I've seen one 51% "RED" sign.

I've seen signs that say "Concealed Firearms Welcome" as well. I think those are non binding.

Oh, and TX recognizes a MA LTC.

I agree. America is supposed to be the epitome of liberty and freedom. Here we are running away within our country.

So is most of LA for that matter.
