The signs that are up at Taco Cabana are not compliant, therefore, not binding...

A letter telling them how to put up a binding sign could be disastrous for our community if they so decide to obey the letter of the law.

As ElGato said:
ElGato wrote:If I see a sign that is not correct I carry, It has no effect on me or my ability to carry on the premise.
A no weapon's sign that's not 30.06 compliant doesn't make me mad, that sign is meant for someone who doesn't have a license.

I would NEVER explain to management how to put up the correct sign to prevent me and other CHL's from carrying.
And, as was previously posted by another poster (can't find the quote as I'm writing this; so I'll paraphrase) "Taco Cabana is a large chain. Taco Cabana has many lawyers working for it."

In My Humble Opinion: It stands for reason that if Taco Cabana really wishes to ban weapons from their establishments that they would post fully compliant signs, doesn't it? Could be that their intent is the same as the employee manuals that mention firearms but don't use 30.06 language. They might fire ya, but they can't send ya to jail.

Or their intent is to simply 'pacify' the anti-gun crowd, aka: liberals, and to keep them happy while all the time they know the sign isn't binding.

Remember: "You can't convict if the glove don't fit."

Same reasoning: "You can't convict if the sign isn't compliant."

Makes for some thought doesn't it?

The ; Texas Department of Public Safety. states the sign posting law very clearly on their site. Plus the exact wording in the law reads:

30.06(a) (3) (B) a sign posted on the property that:

(i) includes the language described by Paragraph (A) in both English and Spanish;

(ii) appears in contrasting colors with block letters at least ONE INCH in height; and

(iii) is displayed in a conspicuous manner clearly visible to the public.

So, we live by other provisions of the Government Code Chapter 411, such as having our weapon concealed, then the rest of the populace must also live by the law...

(Am I right on this Charles?)

INAL... just MHO...
