If you google for the signs you'll come up with a dozen different places that sell compliant signs, including Office Depot and Staples. It's just that this website specializes in the signs, although it wouldn't surprise me one bit if it was an established sign company behind it.

Registration is private so you'd have to buy one and see what business name is on you statement.
Absolutely. Signs that do not conform to the statutory requirements will not support a trespass conviction. No further penalty is necessary or appropriate. Too many things are penalized already. Let's don't penalize people for posting ineffective signs.That is an example of an invalid sign. But it is not out of compliance with any regulation or statute. Which bodes the bigger question, what penalties do you want written into the states laws for a sign about firearms? Do you suggest a law that says "All printed text on your storefront, about firearms, must be either a valid 30.06 sign, valid 30.07 sign, or valid TABC. All other firearm text will be punishable"? I don't see that happening.
If I owned a sign shop, I would take a page from Oscar Schindler's playbook and produce 30.06 signs that were just slightly non-compliant, then sell them at cost. Being careful, of course to not use the word "compliant" in my advertising for the signs.Scott Farkus wrote:One of my wife's Facebook acquaintances owns a sign shop. My wife mentioned to me last week that this acquaintance had a post talking about how busy they were printing 30.06/30.07 signs.
That led me to wonder what I would do if I owned a sign shop - would I refuse that business or not? I guess as long as it's not a sign advertising a gay wedding I would be legally within my rights to do so, correct? I want to say that I would refuse to print such signs but honestly, if I had to turn away legal business that put food on my family's table, I don't know that I could say with 100% certainty that I would.
What would you guys do?
