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?
If I owned a sign shop, I'd print the signs. That's what I'm in business to do.

I'd also print some 2a friendly signs as well, and try to market them.

I've seen a few of those signs posted up throughout Houston...mainly at gun shops and such.

What do you think they will have learned? That their sign was bad or that gun owners are bad? I suspect the latter. Knowingly vandalizing a store will only set back any OC cause. And a owner/manager with a good feel for property rights would rightly mount some cameras in the right place and help any subsequent vandals to give their money to the courts as well. This is lose, lose for gun folks of any stripe.
It was just a thought. Anyone with a better idea, to keep businesses compliant with state law, can feel free to speak up. My opinion is too many people on here, are willing to have their rights violated, to simply stay under the radar, to avoid confrontation. Sometimes confrontation, is the only way to get things right. I haven't run into the issue, so it's not a problem for me as of now...but others are running into the issue. I guess everyone can run their fingers online, and be happy being violated, until it happens in person. I guess we'll see :patriot:
I am good with fighting the good fight. Just not thinking that stickering up a business is a good fight. Have we seen a business out of compliance? What law have they violated?
I don't see one sticker, over a sign that's invalid anyways, as stickering up a business, but, to each their own. I see the flaw in it, but I don't see it as a BAD idea.

Re: Marketing "No Carry" signs

I have no problem with a business, helping other businesses, follow the law. Like so many others on here, my issue stems from businesses feeling that they can put whatever sign they want up, and we have to follow it...sad part is, by law, we do have to follow it. Why isn't there someone regulating these signs, or at least a penalty for posting wrong signage?

What we need is for someone to print out some stickers that read "Invalid Sign. -list of regulations for signs on it-" and they can be slapped over illegal signs.
