I'm not sure how much I want to be a test case for a legal issue not involving actually protecting mine, but I agree with you. We're always a self defense act away from paying legal fees. We probably ought to be ready to do the same simply for carrying. Not fun to think about but true. We never know what activist or scardy cat we'll run into.jrandyw wrote: It seems that using that logic (that you don't want to press your luck and be a test case) we are at risk anytime we carry anywhere and should always consider leaving our guns in our gun safes.

Re: Chaz7138 on Texas3006.com claim on letter size of 30.06
Resurrecting an old topic. My credit union is not normally posted 30.06. I love that. But today I went to a more remote location. Went inside. I am pretty good about looking for 30.06 signs. I checked on the way in and didn’t see anything big enough to be 30.06. I go inside and am third in line. There is an off duty police officer working security. I have on a IWB tuckable holster so the big black metal clip is visible. I am bored and turn to look at the door and that is when I see a 30.06 sign printed on a landscaped 8.5” x 11” piece of paper!! Completely undersized but still had my mind racing at a million miles an hour. And of course the worst part was that my holster’s metal clip was on the side facing the officer.
So do I leave and come back inside and possibly draw the attention of the officer? Do I leave and not come back? Do I stick it out and see if concealed means concealed? I think the correct answer would probably have been to leave and hit the drive thru but no one ever accused me of being smart.
The conflict in my head was 1) don’t draw his attention and 2) it was a bad sign and 3) are they going to post all of their locations? 4) I just picked this CU because it wasn’t posted do I have to change it all again? I don’t think it was coherent but I can ask a million questions in mere seconds.
The officer appeared to care less about me. I didn’t think that I had raised his interest. I chose to just act cool and chant “concealed means concealed” in my head. I guess I was calm and boring enough. Got my withdraw done and moseyed on my way.
Thoughts on the right answer or right thing to do? I don’t have a need to be a test case.
