30.06 concealed gun signage

[Mastro]

Anyone know if it applies to retired or part-time peace officers who are off duty?

Did they change the 30.06 signage portion of the CHL program? I had heard that a new law change says no banks and other facilities even without the 30.06 signage....I carry at my credit union and they have no problem with it. Just wondering.

Texas CHL laws do not cover LEOs on or off duty, or honorably retired from service. LEOs are authorized to carry weapons by a completely different section of State and Federal Law.

Does not apply to LEO's, but there are certain places you cannot carry if not executing official duties. I don't have the complete list but know that post offices, Veteran's Administration buildings, and other federal buildings are places you cannot carry off duty.

Thanks WCB. If I read it correctly it appears that an retired LEO or "off duty" LEO cannot carry in a 30.06 posted building.

(i) This section does not apply if:
(1) the basis on which entry on the property or land or in the building was forbidden is that entry with a handgun or other weapon was forbidden; and
(2) the actor at the time of the offense was a peace officer, including a commissioned peace officer of a recognized state, or a special investigator under Article 2.122, Code of Criminal Procedure, regardless of whether the peace officer or special investigator was engaged in the actual discharge of an official duty while carrying the weapon.


30.06 only covers Card Holders. ( CHL ) LEOs do not carry weapons by CHL law. Some LEOs do have CHLs but it is not to have the tools of the trade on person. A qualified retired LEO will by issued a card by the Department.

Pretty sure a bank is off limits regardless of sign. You may be committing a felony carrying in your credit union

Unless the law has changed since last year it's perfectly legal unless otherwise posted. (30:06)
