Re: Letter vs. Intent of 30.06
This picture isn't quite as sharp as it could be, but it gives an idea of how hard the new sign is to read from just a few feet away.

Re: Letter vs. Intent of 30.06
Which one? The first one (the old one) is the one that is non-compliant--the letters are too small. The second (the new one) is compliant but much harder to read. My point is that the theater posted a sign that is more in keeping with the letter of the law (one-inch text) but less in keeping with the intent of the law (clear signs).JCole wrote:How does it fail to meet the intent of the law?

Letter vs. Intent of 30.06
The AMC theater in Southwest Austin used to have two non-compliant (text too small) 30.06 signs posted inconspicuously in the lower corners of the two main entrances.
Recently, they replaced the old, non-compliant 30.06 signs with signs that seems to meet the letter, if not the intent, of the law. Rather than make the signs bigger, they kept them the same size (and location) and simply elongated the letters, making the signs compliant but comically hard to read.
I think this serves as an interesting counterpoint to the gun control groups claiming that CHL holders look for technicalities to allow us to circumvent the intent of property owners. Questioning the letter vs. the intent of the law is a two-way street.
