Metro Rail Riders Beware

And a note on the 30.06 signs... they must be LEGAL signs. If they are not LEGAL signs, they do not apply.

Under state law, passengers who board METRO's buses or trains can carry a concealed weapon if they hold a license to carry a concealed weapon.

In Texas there are two different signs that restrict a concealed handgun license holder from carrying into a place of business. They are a 30.06 sign, and a 51% sign.

A 30.06 sign is a sign that a business owner can post to restrict a CHL holder from entering the business with a concealed handgun. The sign must contain the exact words required by Section 30.06 in both English and Spanish, be placed in an area visible to the public, and have 1" lettering or it will not be considered a legally-binding 30.06 sign. "Gunbuster" signs, or signs with a red slash through a gun, are not considered valid 30.06 postings.

A 51% sign is a sign that a business is required by law to post if 51% of their revenue is obtained through on-premises drinking, such as at a bar. Unfortunately this also has the consequence of not allowing CHL holders to enter the premises where the drinking is taking place while carrying their handgun.


Additional places are not required to post a sign to forbid CHL holders from entering the premises with their handgun as Texas law already forbids it, such as court houses and educational institutions.

Good thing my recertification is coming up... I don't remember crap from that class. Other than if I pull a gun I better use it. The criminal might kill me with my gun... but he will have to beat me to death with it.
