About a year ago, our company, previously privately owned, was acquired by a large foreign corporation and a few policy changes happened but no 30.06.

However, around Dec. 28th, both 30.06/07 signs were posted at the front entrance to the parking lot and on the main building of multi-building campus.

So, I'd say the combination of being part of a large corporation and the advent of OC contributed to the postings. But I would argue that maybe 30.06 would have happened anyway as corporate policy changes were finally implemented.
Regarding that 30.06 sign posted at the entrance to the parking lot, please read attorney general opinion GA0972.

Tell that to the guys that can no longer carry at work. To the guys that now have to change their shopping routines, because the stores they've gone to for years are no longer available to them. The tradeoff might seem worthwhile to you, because it's had no impact on you personally. It might seem a lot less worthwhile to someone who has now had to disarm.
There were companies that allowed their employees to carry at work, that then changed their minds and posted 30.06/30.07 because of open carry, AND prohibited their employees from carrying? Maybe there's ONE guy on this board where that happened, but even that's hard to believe. I'm still waiting to see how many places that had 30.06 posted failed to update the language for 2016.

The stores they've gone to for years...we have Half Price Books and unconfirmed reports of the odd gas station and Applebees. In DFW we have the Mills mall that took down their sign.

I'm still guessing MORE places we can CC legally and definitely MORE where we can OC.
They are not unconfirmed. I have seen them. I have photographed the signs. I have reported them to texas3006.com.

There are far fewer places l can carry post OC. I found out today I can't carry at church. I checked a few places that were posted 30.06 by the old rules. They both have updated their signs, so the idea that we can now carry were we could not before because of outdated 30.06 signs does not work.

Facts are stubborn things.

Sooner or later they all figure it out and become human, whereby they think for themselves.

Patience.....
I think you are giving them way too much credit. If the businesses who are posting 30.06 and 30.07 signs were smart enough to understand a correlation between gun free zones and armed robbery, they would have already understood the well know correlation between gun free zones and mass murders.

I think that a trend of armed robberies at gun free businesses is bound to emerge. I think it is far more likely that the NRA will get the blame.

Whether you do it or not isn't important, it's the fact that we can do it. Peoples fears will subside and we will find a new normal.
People's fear of concealed carry has had 20 years to subside. Given the number of new 30.06 signs, where none were present before, people's fear of concealed carry has not subsided at all since 1996. I see no reason to expect fear of open carry to subside.
