I've only busted through a 30.06 sign twice; once at our local YMCA to go in and pick up my kids, and once at one of the Houston medical center buildings. I was visiting a friend at his store and by the time I had seen the sign, my car was half a mile in the other direction and my friends business was 50' away so I went in. I think the sign at the medical center was too small anyway. It was next to an elevator and was about the size of an 11 x 17 sheet of paper. The one at the "Y" takes up half the window so I know it's big enough.
I understand the reasoning at the "Y" because they don't want a bunch of unsecured guns in the lockers while guys are in the shower. I guess that's the reasoning. I don't know and really don't care.
If I know a business is posted I simply don't go there.
Houston has so few posted areas that I don't even look for it anymore and it's very rare that I even see the sign.
I saw one of those fireworks warehouses near where I live and someone had put up a sign on the side of the building that had to be 30' tall with 3' letters that could be read from the highway at 70 mph. It said something to the tune of "THE UNLICENSED POSSESSION OF A FIREARM IS PROHIBITED. NO SHOOTING FIREWORKS WITHIN 1000' OF THE BUILDING".
The implication was that legal gun toters were very welcome and please don't use our product here.
Welcome to Texas.
