Re: Liquor Store Carry???

Yesterday, I was with a friend who decided to stop in to the liquor store and pick up a beverage. While waiting in the car, I perused all the signs and posters the store had in the front window when the sign below caught my eye. Interesting I thought.... After further inspection, I found no 51% or 30.06 signs anywhere. I don't think I've ever seen or heard of a sign like this before except for maybe in a "Gun Free" zone such as school. So do you think this is improperly posted? This was at Holiday Liquor on I35 and Loop 820 in south Fort Worth.
No the sign is not not improperly posted. In fact I believe it is required by the TABC.

A CHL can legally ignore the sign. It has no meaning for us.

My dad and I are going to a nearby liquor store to pick up brandy for some eggnog. We head to HEB first, buy some groceries, then head over to the liquor store. I am concealing until I reach the liquor store, where I see a 51% sign posted just inside the door, near the floor, on the front of the cashier's counter. I took off my firearm and left it in the truck (hidden, of course), and continue into the store, buy our brandy, and head home. There are no tables anywhere in the store, and in fact, there is a sign posted RIGHT NEXT TO the 51% sign that reads something like:
IT IS A CRIME (MISDEMEANOR)
TO CONSUME BEER OR LIQUOR
ON THESE PREMISES

What's the deal with this?
You can carry in there. It is obvious that there isn't any on premise consumption. The 51% sign is meaningless.
