Then there are those who feel the need to call up the folks with signs that don't count and risk having them correct the situation by giving them lessons on how to properly deny me my right to carry. If the sign is not a 30:06 sign, my assumption is always that they don't want to forbid licensed carry. They are wanting to forbid armed robbers from bringing a gun to the robbery. I see no need to ask them if I am correct as the law already says I am.

And that would be me, because my feeling is that, just as one of our members recently experienced, even if they have the wrong signage or just plain don't know the law, you are likely to take the ride.

Let them know that their sign is wrong, and that you will most likely beat the charge, and that you will also hold them responsible. And also let them know what the compliant sign is, and the fact that it is about 2' by 3' and really ugly.

Let them know that they are only denying law abiding citizens access because criminals won't care what signs are posted, and that you will be influencing others to boycott their business as much as is in their power.

If they repost, all well and good, they don't want your business and they have proved it, and there is no place that posts that can't be replaced. If they don't repost, and you get made, and you wind up taking the ride, the basis for your civil suit is the hard copy letter, registered, return receipt, notifying them that their sign does not comply with Texas law and stating what the law is.
