Ok, maybe it's clear to the guy who wrote it, and a few lawyers, but what about the rest of the world? Where does the "building" end? Can I say that my whole city is a "building" and post a red sign at the city limits because we have a bar?
Anybody want to try to see my point here?

San Antonio Highland Games 51% Sign
I carried at SAHG yesterday. There is a 51% sign posted at the ticket booth, but I came in through a service entrance which was not posted. I have to go back today (disarmed), but I'd really like to know if this is a bogus sign because I go every year.
I'm almost sure it's bogus for two reasons: 1)There are no 78023 RED signs for it in TABC's search, and 2) It is not possible that the event meets 51%.
This is an annual two-day event. There is absolutely NO WAY that it meets 51%. There is a beer booth (no spirits), and the line is fairly busy, but the food vendors are backed up 30 deep most of the day, and the food is EXPENSIVE.
Lion and Rose Pub has a booth this year, so maybe it's their sign. Even then, I think they are selling a lot more expensive food than expensive beer at THIS location.
I have a few questions:
First: Can the sign travel with the business if it sets up a booth in a location remote from the licensed location? That seems unwise.
Second: What are the penalties (if any) for an individual or organization that illegally posts a bogus 51% sign. If there are none, this would be an excellent way for anti-2a people to get their stupid little way. After all, they are well known for flagrant disregard of the law when they think what they are doing is "for the good of the children."
Third: What is the best course of action if you (somehow) manage to determine the sign is bogus? 1) obey it? 2)Ignore it? 3) Report it? (how?)
I favor #2 because #3 might hassle them into figuring out how to post a legitimate sign that I would be obliged to obey; but then again, I was a Democrat when I was young so I sometimes lapse into treachery.
Fourth and last: Is there legal recourse or case law that might discourage the posting of bogus signs?
