I would really like to see the establishments have the proper signage, what is the correct method of accomplishing this?

I see nothing wrong with telling the TABC that wrong signage is up...if you do it the right way.

"I was at bar xyz and they seem to have alot of signs up. Could you check and make sure they have what they need posted? It is sooo confusing!"

I find it hard to beleive any TABC agen or bar owner would see this as anything more than a confused citizen. No mention of guns, chl, etc....

But reporting RED SIGN locations that post wrong is like telling a business owner their sign doesn't satisfy the 30.06 requirements.

I personally WILL report a red sign business that does not have a 51% sign posted. The reason being is you are still illegal carrying in a 51% location, even if they don't have a sign or the wrong sign up. As a CHL you only get a defense to prosecution. That means you may take the ride and have to fight the fact that you didn't know it was off-limits as there was no sign.

Riddle me this, if a place had a 51% sign and was not supposed to have it, and by some chance an LEO caught you carrying does he rely on the sign or does he check with TABC?
