S&W,
Charles can comment on this & the legal eagles. I also consider the sign as not compliant if the lettering is not 1" high. The "Prominantly Posted" wording is arguable. the NH will say it was while you say it was not.

What I have worried about over the signs that have the correct wording in English & Spanish but not prominent or contrasting letters & background is that you most likely WILL win it in court. In court is the opprative word though, where you are likely to win. If you are in a city w/ a anti-gun DA ie Harris County, It could cost you a lot of money that you may not want to spend on that.

Bottom line is, IANAL nor do I play one on TV. You decide.
There will be those that would carry & say as long as I dont need it then no one knows. If I really need it worry about it then. Rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6. That is valid for sure.
If you choose this one carry small in size & where you can cover it completely. Shoulder carry & tuck elbow so no one can accidently bump you & feel it while caring for you Dad. Always have to have a jacket though. Maybe ankle holster, but be carefull crossing your legs. The new rig I just put together is easy to cover w/ my elbow at 3:00. It is small. Smart Carry. Takes practice & a slow draw.
Every option has its trade offs. Consider them all & do what you are comfortable with. When you decide, then decide that you can live w/ it if trouble raises its ugly head.
