I believe that you would be arrested for trespassing. The Austin district attorney and media would love to prosecute and persecute LTC's who are acting in an unlawful manner - whether "legally" you are or are not. It only matters what those entities say on the evening news, and the LTC community would get a black eye in the process.

Better tactic would be to let the legislature do their work toward removing the restrictions which is part of the 2017 plan. Creating a scene now may disrupt those plans.

I think it's more likely you would get arrested for disorderly conduct. Trespassing is clearly statutorily not applicable. It would be like getting arrested for driving 40 in a 45 zone...They'd more likely make up something like reckless driving than try to get you for speeding.

I would agree with you, except we're talking about a clearly anti-gun environment in Austin. I wouldn't give the DA there any opening to go after a LTC holder.
