I was in the mall over lunch and looked for the signs. Since I did not remember where they were supposed to be, I looked in all the box office windows and on all doors on both sides of the box office. Either they have taken them down or they were just too small for me to notice even though I was looking for them. Anyone know if they've actually taken them down, or I just missed them?CWOOD wrote:After reading this, I went to check the only AMC theatre in Austin, which is inside Barton Creek Mall..
There was wording which appeared to be proper but the sign was the size of a piece of notebook paper and was posted at the botton of two doors, one on each side of the box office. The sign were below knee level. At best the lettering was half to required size. I would ignore them and if ever confronted my response would be that if the signs were the proper size they would be much more conspicuous.
My feeling, is that a company the size of AMC obviously has staff attorneys who could provide them with all of the particulars about making a valid sign, in the same Penal Code section where they got the wording. They either have incompetant attorneys or they have made a concious decision to refrain from making them compliant. I think it is a bluff. They want you to not carry. But they want to be protected from liability if you don't carry and end getting assaulted on their property. They can then say, "Hey, the sign was non-compliant, so we didn't force the CHL'er to disarm...that was his choice. Don't sue me!"
Just my thoughts. Iguess I am a cynic.
