Hey all,

I'm down in Texas for a little while and have a question about where carry is prohibited. According to handgunlaw.us (http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/texas.pdf), churches, hospitals, nursing homes, and amusement parks have to display a 30.06 sign to prevent carry. However, looking at the actual Texas penal code, Sec. 46.035. UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE HOLDER (http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.u.../htm/PE.46.htm), it appears that those places are prohibited entirely, regardless of a 30.06 sign. Am I missing something in the penal code, or does Handgunlaw.us have this one wrong? Your responses much appreciated.
