If you are so confident that no one will know unless you tell them, then just ignore the 30.06 signs and walk right past them.BenGoodLuck wrote: I am trying to repeal a part of the CHL law, specifically the 30.06 portion. That's pretty specific. I am not advocating guerrilla tactics like the OC folks, although all they're doing is exercising a right under the law. I posted my letter to hear what people have to say and it's been very educational. Actually, I'm surprised that CHL holders are so supportive of the 30.06 signs.
Let me be clear - I understand the fear that repealing 30.06 would lead to gun buster signs barring us. What I am proposing is to get rid of 30.06, allow property owners to post what ever sign they want, but the signs would have not force of law except for a civil penalty if the concealed carrier fails to heed the owner's directives to leave.
Have you heard of CANT - carry always, never tell? Property owners would not know you were carrying unless you told them. Do you walk into a store and tell them you're carrying? Do you go to the movies and tell the box office person you're carrying? So what would be wrong with having a million different signs saying 'no guns' as long as the signs were legally meaningless?
Suppose there was a law in Texas requiring a property owner to post a 30.06 type sign barring certain religions or races from their premises? We'd go ballistic! The 30.06 signs are the equivalent of that type of thinking.
