I expect a lot of stop'n'robs have a very high alcohol sales rate! Just not for drinking on premises.

Thanks for the clarification ELB. You are right on that, as a stand alone liquor store is allowed carry unless 30.06 posted. I think most Quickie Marts do not derive their main profits from alcohol, but from fuel, cigarettes, lottery tickets and Slurpee's!

Ditto here. They explained the sign referenced is issued by the TABC for all establishments that have a license to sell alcohol. You will see a lot of these posted at the 'Stop & Robs' and other Quickie Marts.

Unless the business derives 51% or greater profit from alcohol sales, then you are exempt (of course they have the 51% or a 30.06 sign posted, you are persona non grata with your firearm.)

Be cautious though, even if they don't have a sign posted, any establishment that has a very high alcohol sales rate could qualify and you would be in violation.

Since I have a CHL this sign does not apply to me. Correct statement?

It says 'Unlicensed'. If you have your CHL you have a license.
