Signage dilemma

I went to a local Mod pizza location yesterday for lunch. I noticed a big 51% sign posted right next to the door. Anyone familiar with this restaurant chain knows that there is zero possibility that they actually get over half their revenue from sales of alcohol for on-premise consumption, so I knew the sign was bogus, but verified it anyway with the TABC app (confirmed that "sign = blue").

So here's my dilemma. I know that its usually best to just keep my mouth shut when I see a non-compliant gun sign since the owner / manager is likely under the misconception that the sign is enforceable and if told otherwise, they may put up actual compliant signs (in this case a total of 6 signs covering 30.05, 30.06, 30.07 in both English and Spanish). But I'm also thinking that new gun owners (especially non-LTC holders) may not know to check the validity of a 51% sign, so the sign might improperly keep those folks from exercising their civil rights. Then again, these same people may not even know what a 51% sign is, so there's also that.....

One additional factor is that Mod pizza originated in Austin, I believe and there's a higher than normal probability that the owners actually are anti-gun.

So what say y'all? Report them to TABC, have a chat with the store manager, or just say nothing and keep carrying concealed when I go there?
