What bothers me is that anyone considers 2 or 3 beers acceptable.
For me, the decision is already made since I won't drive after drinking. If I'm anywhere that I would be carrying, I would have to have driven to get there.
But I can see an argument for having ONE beer with food or ONE drink with dinner.
But I don't want anyone, no matter how well they think they can handle themselves, driving or carrying after two or more drinks or beers!
If you feel the need for two beers, leave the gun at home and let someone else drive.

In those days, 30.06 didn't exist. It went into effect 9/1/1997. So for the first 20 months that we had concealed carry, there were no sign specifications.
You would have had to have been keenly interested in concealed carry at that point to notice the enormous knee-jerk reaction to the new law.
It was too easy for businesses to post at no peril to them. 30.06 came about to make businesses pay a price for posting by using prime window real estate and forcing the issue to be acknowledged.
There used to be huge, orchestrated campaigns against businesses that posted and some were successful after being flooded with emails, phone calls and mail.
There was a website that maintained a list of all Texas businesses that posted against carrying concealed as reported by CHL'ers.
But I never forgot Pappas, as as they continually bought my favorite restuarants, I stopped eating there.

When the CHL law was first passed and went into effect in '96, I recall Chili's as one of the business's that posted.
In June 2003, I had an exchange with then Chili's Director of Security:
Bill Heine
Brinker International
6820 LBJ Freeway
Dallas, TX 75240
I told him I hadn't eaten at Chili's for 7 years because of the initial posting. Anyway, sometime prior to 2003, they began posting only the 'Unlicensed Possession' sign.
BTW, all of the Pappas restuarants posted in 1996 and I have never eaten at another of their establishments. (That's pretty hard to do in the Houston area.) Anyone know their current attitude?
