Re: Signs, signs everywhere signs
Well in time case law will tell us if the sign, even not legal, gives notice. I however would rather not be the test subject. Like so many laws, the black ink in on the paper gives one meaning, however the court room will be the final interpretation.
Just my opinion.

Read the WHOLE parody of the song. There is also no law that allows display in a threatening manner just because you don't like what they said.jmra wrote:Not if the store is not posted with a 30.07 and the firearm is carried in a shoulder or belt holster.twomillenium wrote:That could be intentional exposing a concealed handgun in a manner to cause alarm!ScottDLS wrote:Signs...signs....everywhere the signs...blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind...Do this, don't do that...Can't you read the signs?!!

Re: Signs, signs everywhere signs
You will have to show me where a gun is shown in a threatening manner in his post. Revealing that you are carrying in a non-posted non-prohibited place with a properly carried weapon is called open carry.twomillenium wrote:Read the WHOLE parody of the song.

Of course, a great many never bother with naturalization. Who needs it? You get the same welfare benefits and registered to vote whether you want to or not, don't need a D/L or ID.....
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

Re: Signs, signs everywhere signs
And the the (30.07) sign said all people caught dressed OC will be shot on sight! I shook my fist and wore my shirt and said..."Man what what gives you the right?!"..."to lock mother nature in and keep my OC out!"..."If God was here he say it to your (H.E.B.'s) face"..."Man your some kinda' sinner (anti)!!"

WHATEVER........I was participating in the funny parody of the song.

I said COULD not did. Hope you understand where I was coming from so you can chill. No hard feelings here, I even had a bad day once....... well almost once.
The next few adlib verses are hilarious. ( I do defend the right of private property owners)

Re: Signs, signs everywhere signs
La....la.... ...When they passed the (collection) plate 'round at the end of it all....
I took up a pencil and paper, and wrote my own little sign... It said..."Thank you HEB for thinkin' 'bout me, I'm packin' and feelin' fine...."

Re: Signs, signs everywhere signs
That does not make it the official language. The United States does not have an official language. Also, there are circumstances where a candidate can be exempted from the language requirement.Dadtodabone wrote:English is the official language of these United States.

Re: Signs, signs everywhere signs
Having lived my teenage years 70 miles from the Mexican border, I will tell you that there are folks down in that area who may be able to hold a conversation in broken English, but good luck if they can read at more than a little kid's level in English. However, they are Americans and Texans, and they deserve proper notice just like everyone who can speak and read English properly. I'm not going into what the responsibilities of our education system are or are not, just telling you what I remember, and that is likely still true.
