Unfortunately I did not photograph the one at the waiting area....I was anxious to get out unnoticed.

Just curious, were you OC'ing, it wasn't mentioned in your OP?

Not when I entered, but when I took my jacket off in the restaurant, yes.

I am not judging by all means but asking for learning purposes only. If you saw the sign why did you stay? Or did you leave with out eating? If approached by the manager or leo what could have happened?

I doubt that they would have had a case for a trespass violation based on the location of the signage, the management could have asked the OP to cover up or leave, but since he was sitting at the bar, and no one seemed panicked by him OC, I would assume that it would have taken a complaint by another customer for either of those things to happen. But, I wasn't there so....

I agree with others, signs placed in recessed areas, not in a direct path to the seating area, and/or placed near the back, would not be considered conspicuous at the entrance, but, they could still have asked you to cover up or leave, but it seems like they intentionally put them where they did to appease anti gun folks. I went to Hofbrau in Ft. Worth last weekend, and there was no signage at the entrance, but posted at about knee level, to the left between the outside entrance and the entrance to the restaurant, were English and Spanish 30.07 signs, I almost didn't see them at all, but I was looking for them. I was CC at the time so it wasn't an issue, but they were, in my opinion, not conspicuous, and would have been easily missed if it had been crowded and others were standing in that area.
