That's the rumored Taco Cabana position. Seems a bit wussy-fied to me. Take a stand... or not!

The wording appears to be correct per the law, but the size is obviously wrong because I had to walk right up to the door lean down to look at it real closely to read it...

Looks like we'll be seeing movies at the Movie Tavern across the street until something changes.

Dac,

Why would you bother to bring it to their attention? You're more likely to get a proper sign installed than to convince some corporate entity they are wrong about CHLs.

Their notice does not comply with the law and it is a defense to prosecution. I always take a quick look around the doors to a building before entering, but I'm not going to study the tiny signs to see if they are actually reduced copies of legally compliant signs. The intent of the law was to make it easy and quick for CHLs to determine if the owner has complied with 30.06 requirements. The burden of notice is on the owner, not on the CHL holder.

Sound like you were insecure with your decision. Did you have anything planned to say to arresting officer? Just be sure in YOUR MIND before the cross that sign next time.
