When you see the numbers 30.06 and smile you might be a gun guy.
If you see 30.06 posted on a business and you cringe you are a Texas gun guy.
30.06 relates to the Section of Penal Code where the law outlines “trespass by a holder of license to carry concealed handgun.” Here you will find the complete lists of TX CHL laws, but in general, if a property owner post the below text in in contrasting colors with block letters at least one inch in height in a conspicuous manner clearly visible to the public in order to declare a legal “Gun Free Zone” and to carry past it is Class A misdemeanor.
“PURSUANT TO SECTION 30.06,
PENAL CODE (TRESPASS BY HOLDER OF A LICENSE TO CARRY A CONCEALED HANDGUN)
A PERSON LICENSED UNDER SUBCHAPTER H, CHAPTER 411, GOVERNMENT CODE (CONCEALED HANDGUN LAW), MAY NOT ENTER THIS
PROPERTY WITH A CONCEALED HANDGUN.”
“CONFORME A LA SECCIÓN 30.06
DEL CÔDIGO PENAL (TRASPASAR PORTANDO ARMAS DE FUEGO) PERSONAS CON LICENCIA BAJO DEL SUB-CAPITULO H, CAPITULO 411, CODIGO DE GOBIERNO (LEY DE PORTAR ARMAS), NO DEBEN ENTRAR A ESTA PROPIEDAD PORTANDO UN ARMA DE FUEGO.”

Nor does this sign have any weight of law from Church’s Chicken in Jasper. Although it will ensure that you are boycotted due to your anti-American stance and insulting firearms owners as a nuisance.
Penal Code 46.03 outlines the places where weapons (including firearms, illegal knives and clubs) are ALWAYS prohibited:
