    Has anyone else noticed that lame CHL sign they have up in their service window? Anyone know the ramifications of that sign? I'm aware of the 30.06, but that one is different than the ones I've seen before.

    If you don't know what the requirements are for the sign, can't you look it up and figure out if their sign is a 30.06 compliant sign?

    It's pretty hard to miss, but people seem to get all bent out of shape when they see any kind of sign with anything to do with carrying handguns. The ones that matter, matter, the ones that don't, don't. Businesses put up signs for all kinds of reasons and it's their right. Some, put signs up close, but not close enough, on purpose.

    JK, it's not a 30.06 sign, but another using a 2x.xx. I wish I could recall the exact verbage, but I'll be sure to get more info next time...assuming someone doesn't beat me to it first.

    If i'm not mistaken, the lettering on the 30.06 sign has to be one inch, black on white. Don't recall the verbiage.

    Here it is;

    Texas Department of Public Safety - Courtesy, Service, Protection

    Correct. And he said it's not even close which is why I wonder why it's even brought up as an issue. For a CHL holder it just doesn't matter.

    I really hope that some of the folks that always bring these things do not yet have a CHL. If so, they need to go back and learn the laws again.

    Black on white is NOT required, just contrasting colors...technically.
    I raised an issue in another thread with white letters on clear glass, and promptly got preached at by TxInvestigator. The subject seems to open to your interpretation of contrasting.
    To me personally, if the businesses intention is clear, legal sign or not, I won't patronize them, and I will let them know why...politely.

    Well, I was unfortunate enough to have to go back and sit there for a bit. So I was able to get the verbage on the sign:

    "Possession of a handgun under authority of Texas Concealed Handgun Permit Law, Texas Civil Statues, Article 4413(29ee), is prohibited beyond this point. "

    Basically, it's a total BS sign. Just sucks they try to make a point about CC with a sign.

    Question? If a sign is that specific without being and actual 30.06 sign should you still go in? couldn't they prosicute you on criminal tresspassing? It's ovbious that they do not want you to have a firearm on premise(I am by no means defending them I just wouldn't shop there)
