It is, in fact, the most confusing part of Texas license to carry law, based on questions I receive.<br /><br />Penal Code section 46.035(b)(6) says it's an offense to carry "on the premises of a church, synagogue, or other established place of religious worship."<br />Penal Code 46.035(i) says "Subsections (b)(4), (b)(5), (b)(6), and (c) do not apply if the actor was not given effective notice under Section 30.06 or 30.07."<br /><br />So in Texas you <b>can't</b> carry in church unless the church <b>doesn't</b> post large, obvious signs.<br /><br />We've been trying to untangle that since 1997.LarryArnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12049557823774987136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-54193119786425131632017-11-07T10:45:49.823+10:002017-11-07T10:45:49.823+10:00Dean, I do not believe that it is not the State of...Dean, I do not believe that it is not the State of Colorado that prohibits open carry in Denver, it is rather the City and County of Denver that, in its arrogance, attempts to override state law (which bans exemption of state gun laws) and prohibit open carry - and very seldom issues concealed carry permits.<br />However, many members of the Denver Police have a strange eye problem, and unless you are being stupid or waving it in their face, they don't have a problem with accepting CCP from elsewhere.Jewel Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444103301821468911noreply@blogger.com
