As an interesting and oddly coincidental update to this thread, I stopped by again late yesterday and the 30 06 sign was gone. I also re-checked the front windows just to be sure.

if no Spanish, it is not a legally enforceable sign.
Should you carry in there even though it is not enforceable? Well, I would carry there OR I would not give them any business at all, as if you believe their intention is to not want CHL's, then don't give them CHL money.

Unless I have no option in a particular case, I routinely boycott all businesses posting a 30.06. Thanks for your responses.

Nothing says it has to be in the front of the store or 'at the entrance'

I believe it is much like a 51% sign, once you see it, you have been notified, period, regardless of when you see it.

My only question then would be, does the sign meet the legal definitions, with English/Spanish, contrasting colors and minimum 1 inch block letters?

Looked legit...but no Spanish. If a 30.06 is posted, I always give it the benefit of the doubt. I have no desire to become a test case.

As I tend to do every couple of months, I stopped by a large, well-managed pawn shop up the road. They always have a large number of rifles, shotguns, and handguns up for sale at surprisingly reasonable prices...and they are usually open to negotiation. I have made a few worthwhile purchases there.
Anyway, today when I was at the back of the shop (40+ feet from the entrance) looking over the handgun selection, I happened to look up and to the right at a 30.06 sign posted on the wall.
I had never once noticed it before and knew there was not one posted at the entrance.
So, I guess my question is...do other businesses post their 30.06 signs deep inside the store (without one at the entrance) and is it even legal to do so? I cannot recall the verbiage from the statute.
I was a little taken aback by this one and promptly exited the premises.
