It grinds my gears to see someone who was granted a CHL/LTC go ad nauseam into how to skirt around the law, thereby creating not only a bad image for the law abiding citizens who carry, but also making someone who helped the cause judiciously look bad in the eyes of the anti-2A idiots.
Hey, guess what? If you saw the sign AND are in admittance to its interpretation confessing to being open to break the law on the social media site, then I'd suggest you start saving some $$$ for defense, because you'll need it my friend (or friends..., you know who you are).

Show me the law that requires a property owner to post a §30.06 or §30.07 sign. Show me the law that makes it illegal for a property owner to post a legally insufficient §30.06 or §30.07 sign as a courtesy notice.
Chas.
To my knowledge, there is no law that would force a business to post 30.06/30.07 sign. That I would consider to be a tyranny since we are talking about private property.
Now, if they in fact do post 30.06 or 30.07, then the sign has to meet the proper criteria.
But I go back to the point I've said before. If you see that a sign is not posted properly, either report to appropriate source (not get into a verbal match on the scene), take your money elsewhere, or both.

Re: Improper signs and results
#1 based on the options above.JALLEN wrote:Here is a scenario:
You and a small group of friends meet at a restaurant for dinner. On the way in, you notice a clearly invalid 30.06 sign near the door. Your pistol is concealed, so no worries.
During dinner, you are asked to pass the catsup and, half standing, reach across the large table to hand it to another. A few minutes later, the hostess stops by and tells you that your pistol was noticed while you were stretched out across the table, that weapons are not allowed in the restaurant, and you must either take it to your car, and would then be welcome to return, or leave if not.
1. Do you take the pistol out to the car and return, weaponless? Or
2. Point out that the sign out front is non compliant, therefore meaningless, and return to your chicken fried steak? Or
3. Leave promptly and do not return, leaving the bill unpaid? The others finish their meal and pay their portion. Or
4. The entire party leaves right then, without paying?
As for me personally, I'd go somewhere else. Establishment like that doesn't deserve my money, or my frustration.

Re: Improper signs and results
I can appreciate the passion to address whether a sign is within the judicial constraints, however, I simply voice my dissent by taking my money elsewhere. There are plenty of businesses out there who are supportive and who are not contorting themselves into a political pc pretzels to either ban all guns from their promises, or even more cleverly, allow CC/ ban OC so that their financial losses are somewhat mitigated. In the end, they are all same to me.
Either you respect my rights or you don't. It's that simple.
Kind of like being pregnant you know...either you are or you aren't.
