Hi, my name is Tommy and I'm from Liberty, TX. I'm new to concealed carry--I just received my license in January but have been carrying for a couple of months now and doing my best to learn what my CHL instructor didn't cover and to become more comfortable and skilled at carrying and shooting.

I've lurked here for a while enjoying the many posts covering many interesting topics and very much appreciate this site as a useful CHL reference and support community. Thank you to Charles for a great resource.

I was also curious about something I saw this weekend that didn't make much sense to me. A red 51 sign at the Jared Galeria of Jewelry store located at 59 & 1960 in Humble, TX.

I searched the forum for reference to this and only found brief mention of it here.

How should one proceed when faced with a posting like this? Obviously, a large jewelry store such as this does not even sell alcohol, but even in some bar/restraunts you never really know for sure where the company' profits come from.

Would it have been okay for me to enter the store with my concealed handgun despite the misleading posting? I locked the gun in my truck to be on the safe side but would have felt much safer with my Glock by my side.

Just curious what some of you might suggest for future visits to this location and any other time I may doubt the legitimacy of posted signs.

Thanks for your time and I look forward to future discussion.
