As stated, meaaningless to CHL holders in Texas. Unless the facility is a federally owned building or it houses a federal government office, I can't see why the sign would be federally mandated.
Good info thanks was just curious.
It's not a 30.06 so it dont mean a thing but if some see's you carrying and asks you to leave you better do so.
I ignore those and the ones with the circle with the pistol and slash .
In most other states that sign is enforceable. If you ignore it and are "caught" you can be charged and convicted of criminal trespass. BTW in Texas no one better "see's you carrying".
Accidental exposures are not unlawful.
When I bought my Jeep at Ancira, they had the red circle/slash over a gun sign at the door. I walked right by it, and dropped $20K cash on the desk for the used Jeep I bought. They didn't seem to know or care, it was only on one door and I never revealed that I was carrying (the whole premise behind concealed carry!).
As 308nato said, unless it's a 30.06 (or 51% sign), it's not legal. I will not inform a business or facility that they have the wrong sign up, if they want to be ignorant then that's their choice and so be it!
Wow you spent 20 grand at an anti gun POB? I would have easily driven to another of the various jeep dealers for that reason. I dont even buy fountain drinks at gas stations with anti-gun signs.
I wouldn't go as far as to not use the business.I would however carry on the property anyway, as it is not the proper signage if i absolutely needed to be there. I haven't been to a Walmart that hasn't had some form of NO sign concerning handguns. Some state unlicensed carry prohibited which im pretty sure is a felony anyway.Others say Firearms prohibited.Regardless i still go there because none provide proper signage.
IIRC that is due to the store selling alcoholic beverages, all grocery stores have the sign.
I think some businesses post the unenforceable sign, knowing it, but just to keep the anti's feeling cozy. They know they can't back it up but they are "doing something for the cause", to get the business from the bed wetters. It's all about the money.
