I admire your devotion to duty, but I don't have it to the same degree. If the 30.06 sign is not compliant, and in plain view, where I can't easily see it, then I haven't received effective notice until I see it. If the sign isn't located either at the entrance, or prominently displayed just inside where a conscientious license holder would be looking for it, then it is on the business owner if people carry inside. In addition to the other signage compliance requirements (block letters 1" high against a contrasting background, and specific language), the law requires that the sign "is displayed in a conspicuous manner clearly visible to the public."

10 ft off the ground and in the same color as the background wood is NOT "displayed in a conspicuous manner clearly visible to the public."
