Given the fact that you can't select the "unlicensed carry" sign when listing a location, I believe they have already made the call - the right call.GrillKing wrote:Didn't know that. Anyway, this thread is getting a little short for me (testy). I disagree that it wouldn't be useful to have the additional info but the site owners and moderators (those doing the work) can make the call on what is included on their site!
Just took at look at the website. Thankfully it appears they have not adapted your thought process. For the sake of the sites future, hopefully they never will.GrillKing wrote:Still disagree.jmra wrote: You can disagree but your thought process is in direct conflict with logic. By listing every place that is not posted the site becomes much more cumbersome and thus much less user friendly and thus much less utilized than it would be by simply listing places that are posted.
It would be about as logical as listing non-sex offenders on a website designed to help people identify sex offenders.
Re: cumbersome, not really, that's what search functions ajre for. Let the computer do the work.
Re: sex offenders, it is different. The list of offenders is assumed to be complete. There is no value in listing non offenders. The list of off limits location for concealed carry is no where close to complete. Listing non posted locations could be useful. Agree not for every gas station, you can go across the street to another. But for popular restaurants, entertainment venues, etc, it has value. The usage of the off limits list is different from the offender list. You have to consider the completness of the data and how it is used.
I guess it depends on how each of us intend (or would like to) use the tool

How many times on this forum has someone asked about a location and..... No information is available? Knowing that a location is not posted is helpful. Yes, it could change, but that applies to all signs: correct, incorrect, added, removed, replaced at a future date. At least at some point in time the information was correctly submitted for all to use and for the relatively rare occasions that new signs are added (or removed or changed), (rare at least in my experience), the person that discovers that change can update the site. The listing would likely be correct most of the time.jmra wrote: I would find it counter productive to list places where it's ok to carry as that list would be almost impossible to complete. The very name of the website suggest listing places that are off limits due to 30.06 sign posting.
ETA: listing a place on such a site as being ok to carry because of the absence of a 30.06 sign is a really bad idea as a 30.06 sign could go up the next day. By limiting listings to incorrectly posted locations and locations with legitimate 30.06 signs you are assured readers are getting up to date accurate information. I see no reason why the sign the OP mentioned (or the gas station) would need to be listed.
More information is good, IMHO.
Thanks for the welcome Bill. First one I've gotten in almost 5 years.WildBill wrote:Welcome to the forum. The sign that you posted is not a 30.06 sign. You will see this same sign at just about every grocery store, convenience store, restaurant and gas station. If they sell alcoholic beverages and are not a bar, they will have this sign.jmra wrote:Welcome to the forum. That sign does not restrict a CHL holder from entering the station. If you have a CHL you are licensed. This sign is about unlicensed carry. Why would you want to put it on texas3006.com?
