This is my new favorite answer. I love it!

When we moved here two years ago, we visited a church in New Braunfels several times but never saw a sign. While reviewing the Texas3006.com app for local businesses that were posted, I was surprised to see they were posted 30.06 at the entry to the parking lot. They are now posted with both. We found another church that we like better that is not posted.

I would not attend a church that prevented concealed carry. If a church will not allow me to protect myself and others, I view that as contrary to scripture, and it would make me wonder what else about that church is not doctrinally sound. My church does not post signs, but will politely ask anyone open carrying to cover up. I don't think it has actually come up so far, though. I don't have a problem with that, as scripture does support this behavior.

If a business is posted 30.07 and I have an equally convenient option that isn't, I will choose the one that isn't. Otherwise, it doesn't really bother me to let my tee shirt out over my gun. 30.06 on the other hand means they will not get my business, with a few exceptions. Hospitals have been mentioned, and I haven't figured a way around that really.

The other one I run into is live music venues. I'm really into live music, and the majority of places to hear it are either bars (51%) or they are specifically live music venues, which almost all post both signs, have metal detectors, etc. I will disarm and go to these places for two reasons: I really like live music, and I'm usually having a beer or three during the concert, and would therefore disarm anyway. It bugs me a lot on principle, but I don't get to pick what venue an artist I really want to hear chooses to play at. On the up side, most of them have a lot of security including police officers.
