My only concern is that the 30.06/30.07 signs would not be valid for those that do not have a license so the politicians would have to come up with another method for antis to keep out those who carry. Would they go to a ghost buster sign to keep out the unlicensed and 30.06/07 for the licensed or just a ghost buster sign for all those who carry. We saw a boat load more 30.06 signs go up after open carry was passed and very few of us take advantage of open carry. (I was for open carry) It is just too easy now to get a license and maintain that license. I just don't like the politicians getting any more involved with our gun rights. Sometimes we regret getting what we wish for.

Easy, if you have a license, you get to carry same as LEO. 30.06/.07 signs apply to unlicensed. Then in a few years when nothing happens, signs go away and we get true constitutional carry. Too bad we can't just jump straight to constitutional carry.

I wish but using your logic we shouldn't have 30.06/07 signs now. But we can all hope for a change.

Wyoming has constitutional carry. has for awhile and you never hear anything about shootings happening up there. I think people who want to carry for self defense are going to get some form of training or another so that they will be apt to protect themselves should they need to...

I think if constitutional carry passes, the 30.07 30.06 signs would either come down, or establishments would add the blue "unlicensed possession" signs to their doors and windows. that would bar anyone with a license nad anyone without a license so they'd have their bases covered...

Not sure what you mean. Blue signs? Alcohol signs? Blue alcohol does not bar you from entering now with a LTC.

I'm not talking about the 51% sign becuase it says licensed OR unlicensed... the blue sign im talking about is this one

since this sign applies to UNLICENSED gun carriers (constitutional carry) and the 30.06/30.07 signs apply to LICENSED carriers, they have all their bases covered.

Unless the store sells alcoholic beverages, the TABC blue sign is irrelevant.

Since I understand the concern about "untrained" people carrying guns, I re-read the Second Amendment. It does NOT say:
The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed if a person has state approved training.

You wouldn't need to change the law at all. Unless I'm mistaken, property owners currently can grant conditional permission to enter their property. But this takes more than a "ghost buster" type sign with a circle/slash through a picture of something. A sign like the following would be legally enforceable right now, I believe. Lawyers please chime in if I am mistaken.
Entry onto this property is granted subject to the following conditions:
1. You must have voted in the last U.S. Presidential election.
2. You must have never in your life supported any candidate for any political party other than the Libertarian party, in any way whatsoever.
3. You must be wearing underwear.
4. Such underwear must not be of the form commonly known as "boxers".
5. You must be wearing a small medallion in the shape of the state of Texas on a chain around your neck. Such chain must be between 16 and 32 inches in total length.
6. You must not be in possession of any firearms.
7. You must be in possession of socks, but you are not required to be wearing them on your feet.
8. You must not have any intent to commit any crimes upon entry to this property, or to cause any harm whatsoever to come to any other person during your visit, even if the infliction of such harm is not illegal. This includes intentionally hurting someone's feelings.
If you are not in compliance with 3 or more of the above conditions then you do not have permission to enter these premises, and any entry on your part will constitute trespassing, except that if you are not in compliance with entry condition 6 or 8, then that one condition of non-compliance will be sufficient to constitute trespassing on it's own even if the total conditions you are not compliant with are less than 3.
If property owners want to get "cute" with such conditional permissions for entry, they can do so, and anyone violating their conditions would be guilty of trespass under section 30.05. They just need to clearly state that entry is not permitted if you don't meet their conditions.
I would also point out that we currently have constitutional carry in Texas. The only exception is for some guns (handguns) and then only in certain circumstances (outside your home / vehicle). Any discussion really should just be about eliminating these few exceptions to our current constitutional carry rights.

I feel great about it. One more state that understands that the 2nd Amendment says that the right of the people to keep and bear arms
SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. They preceded us with licensed open carry too. I recall no headlines about blood running in the streets. Oklahomans - despite the fact that their football sucks

- are leading the way. Good for them. If this bill gets signed into law, they’ll prove that Constitutional Carry will not cause blood to run in the streets either......just as in other states that have had it for a long time.

That is Part of what the 2nd Amendment means. Licensing laws are quite literally unconstitutional. To some it may not be sensible but that is the root of it.

So constitutional carry in a state like Oklahoma where the gun culture is woven into society? Works for me. But if constitutional carry would be passed in a state like California, I'd honestly be worried. Not that I don't trust the typical gun owner in CA, but there are enough crazies there that it genuinely would be a problem. Just my $.02 on the issue.
The good guys who would carry in CA have as much gun culture as anywhere else in the US. The entire state isn't San Francisco.
