Here is the answer! With three grandchildren I went into several Toys R Us stores and never seen a 30.06 sign.
Given my last post on this thread and the fact that three Toys R Us locations have shown up in the Texas3006.com database within the same week you can be sure that a corporate-wide memo has been circulated. If you go back to any of those stores in the near future you might want to be be prepared to encounter a new 30.06 sign.
1. Toys R Us on MacArthur in Irving did NOT have a 30.06 sign as of today.
2. Toys R Us on Loop 323 in Tyler did NOT have a 30.06 sign as of about three weeks ago.
3. Toys R Us on Cooper in Arlington did NOT have a 30.06 sign about a month ago.

They may be placing them up. The manager may be placing them up. We are our worst enemy when in comes to making noise about 30.06 signs. We give the places the information they use against us so many times.

That is my .02.
Absolutely, :iagree:

Re: Toys R Us Policy

Youngest grandson took us to ONE of the Toys R Us Stores in B'ham today {BARF}. There is most definitely a no guns allowed sign at the front door. Here in Alabama, the "gunbuster sign" means no guns allowed. We got it good in Texas. :txflag:

Speaking of Alabama; ROLL TIDE!

I haven't a clue as to what: "shop at small boutique stores with natural and toxic-free toys that were made from sustainable crops under fair-trade agreements"

Was this quote a bit of tongue in cheek wit? If so, color me slow...very slow.

I haven't a clue as to what natural toys are ... carrots as pistols - potatoes as hand grenades or something along those lines?

Aren't all crops sustainable ...if there's enough nutrients and water available for them?

I've yet to hear the definition of "fair-trade agreement". It doesn't ring of the free enterprise system though, but sounds ominously socialist.

Is it?

Can ya'll clear me up on these vexing questions!

Thanks!
She kinda' threw me on that too; however, I was confident that someone, sooner or later, would call for some elaboration...or somethin'.

C'mon Hoi, spill the beans, if you please. :smilelol5:

Re: Toys R Us Policy

Check out Toys R Us Code of Conduct:

http://www.toysrusinc.com/assets/upload ... onduct.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Article VI forbids ...fraternization ( :lol:: ) between associates...

Article VII speaks to...blah, blah, weapons-free, blah, blah...

Good luck with getting this outfit to change its policies :banghead: .

Again, it does not appear that the OP did this. He let them know that he didn't like their stated corporate anti-gun policy. He is encouraging us to do the same so that they will connect this policy with a negative impact on their bottom line. This is completely independent of the enforceability of any posted signs.

He did not inform them that their signs may be non-complaint. The distinction is very significant. I completely support his actions in this way. :tiphat:
You may be onto something. :iagree:, there is a difference between mentioning generic policy as opposed to discussing specific signage. The offending businesses can be advised of our objections without having an invalid sign mentioned.

It was in english and spanish. Not anywhere near the proper wording to constitute 30.06. There was also a picture of 1911(or at least it looked like one) with a circle and and a line thru it just like you would see on a no smoking sign. See as how I am a visual person I looked at the picture and said to myself "I wonder what they have against 1911s?. Good thing I am carrying a Glock". Then we proceeded into the store. I started to think about it a little more and figured I don't like their anti gun attitude so i think i will go to Target next door to get my daughter's gift. So Target is where we took our money. Long story short the new sign at Toy-R-Us in the woodlands IS NOT compliant.
The sign's validity notwithstanding, TOYS R US is telling YOU (CHL's who shop there) that your business is neither welcome nor necessary. Someone with pertinent information may want to post that information here.

GOOD POINT!

Toys R Us is a national chain. The sign you saw is perfectly valid in some states BUT not in Texas. Our Texas CHL colleagues perhaps should "let that sleeping dog lie"?

...however, a missive to them can result in a proper 30.06 sign being posted... :banghead:
