    You dont need a CHL to have your pistol in your hotel room. It is your premises under your control. You do need a CHL to carry in common areas. A 30.06 sign has no effect in your room.

    you would need to carry the gun from the point of entry of the main lobby to your room, and have it "on or about your person"

    Concealed, which is NOT the same as carrying under a CHL. It's no different than transporting a weapon to/from your auto to primary (normal) residence or a gun range. Make sense?

    Time for my dumb ass question.
    OK, 30.06 has no effect on gun in room for a CHL holder, but what about walking through their lobby which is 30.06 posted?

    Since there is no way to get your handgun from your car to your room without carrying it, then you must carry it.

    Case law has well established that carry from a lawful place to another is not unlawful. As a person staying at a hotel, you dont need a CHL. 46.02 covers you in the car and hotel room, and the traveling part of 46.15 (b) covers you as well.

    Hope that helps

    I understand what you are saying and it makes reasonable sense that if for instance, the Castle Law permits you to keep your gun in your hotel room as an extension of your domicle, then you would need to be able to transport it from your vehicle to the room without fear of prosecution

    It almost seems then that for a hotel to post a 30.06 they really can't prohibit much except a CHL holder just walking in and hanging around the lobby while carrying

    it clarifies the right to use deadly force in places like hotel rooms, RVs and vehicles. Without a firearm, I guess you could use a rock or a stick to use the deadly force.

    The Castle Doctrine works with Section 46.02 and it does clarify that certian places are not unlawful to have a firearm

    No, the castle doctrine does none of that. It has NOTHING to do with firearms at all.

    It did three things. It added a presumption of reasonable belief to use force or deadly force if one of three conditions exist (minus one of those conditions, one can still have reasonable belief.) It eliminated any duty to retreat before using justified force or deadly force if you were at a place where you have a right to be, didn't provoke the other person, and were not in the commission of a crime. The final aspect of the castle doctrine was in the civil laws, and gives an immunity from liability for a justified use of force or deadly force.

    Perhaps you are thinking of the Motorist Protection Act of 2007. It made changes to penal code 46.02.
