I was merely thinking out loud, so to speak.
?

Its no problem i'm not offended, and I understand what your saying about people misjudging you if they somehow found out you were carrying. I just don't think there is a reason to create any potential tension between myself and the staff at the bank by discussing my carry preferences with them. I didn't mean to cause any issues I was just responding to your posts, sorry if I came off harsh.

Edit: added blue

How would he see you had a gun?

If there is no 30.06 then thats there policy why mess with it? When you carry is a personal decision, but personally I carry all the time and only disarm when entering a place I am not legally allowed to carry. To each his own.

Second look:

looks like a paper photocopy of a 51% sign someone taped to a door ... NONE of the red ink copied as the border, the print at the bottom etc?

Where was this?

What kind of establishment?

If hospital I"d look and see if there was a 30.06

If restaurant/bowling alley/movie theater/ whatever/any other place, I'd ask to see their liquor license .. I don't go into bars

It was a bar, but I didn't know that until I got inside, I got one of those livingsocial deals for food at the place. The only reason I saw the sign and bothered to read it was because I thought the place might have been 51% and I didn't seen a 51% sign. The sign was not faded, and there was no 51% anywhere in any color. Even a photocopy of red shows up as grey, I was guessing that maybe it was an old sign and they never updated it.

NO YOU CANNOT CARRY - TABC 51% Sign. Don't ignore it.

What about this sign? The language is the same but there is no 51%
