I must confess that one time I didn't see white letters on tinted glass until I was already inside.

I was sitting in a credit union, glanced up and saw the backside of the notice. I puzzled how in the world I had missed it, when a customer approached the door, and the notice disappeared.

It was a sliding door, and the 30.06 notice slid right behind a large display beside the door. Because of the traffic in and out, the door was already open when I'd approached it on the way in. No way I could have seen or known about the sign.

I'd already decided they didn't really want my business, and that sealed the deal.

The glass on most business does have color. In every case I've seen of white letters on glass, it's on tinted glass, and stood out quite clearly.

I'm a bit more north and east, and they're not a problem in the Texarkana area. The only two businesses here with compliant 30.06 notices are Christus-St. Michael hospital, and Red River FCU. (At least that I've seen; can't say that there's not another one out there, but it would have to be a small business.)

Hibernia banks used to have a non-compliant sign that was a generic gunbusters symbol with wording to the effect of "firearms are prohibited on these premises". Since they were bought out by Capital One, all traces of those signs were removed.
