Re: "No Guns" sign removed!

:tiphat: y'all...

I don't want to unnecessarily offend or insult anyone but is it time for the dreaded eyeroll, {sigh} and dead horse images?

Re: "No Guns" sign removed!

If you don't want to patronize a business for whatever reason - don't. I'll make my own decisions - please and thank you.

No one cares what I think but me and I think, in this instance, Embalmo is spot on correct. Let's all mind our own business (what a novel thought) and let sleeping dogs lie. Where's the foul?

Let them go ahead and show their true colors and post the big ugly sign, and was the intention of the legislation establishing it, or not post the big ugly sign, two choices, no more; "well they only mean that for the non-chls" or "They only put that sign up to satisfy the anti-gun nuts, and they secretly want the CHLs to be there" And surely not ruining it for anyone. Like the non-compliant signage at Love Field, it's not a "wink wink nudge nudge" sign, I know that the "authorities" at Love intend to prosecute, or attempt to, despite the deficiencies of their signage, I have spoken to them about it, and I see no reason to expect that AMC Theaters would probably not prosecute me, so I just choose not to give them my money, and I let them know why.
I do not disagree with you:

1. Firstly, I don't have the money to do a trial case.
2. Secondly, I don't have the money to do a trial case.

I won't knowingly cross a valid 30.06 sign. I will not visit a state or a business that denies my Texas CHL...if I can keep from it. However, I do not go out of my way to find anti-gun signs that do not involve me. When I do find an invalid/improper Texas anti-gun sign, I take no notice and I certainly don't call its attention to the Manager/Owner. They know what they're doing...or should. Foremost is our mantra: concealed is concealed[/u].

All of that disgorged, I am most aware that the sign that DOES NOT legally constitute a no CHL guns allowed environment in Texas, is 100% legal notice in the other states that we visit and I'm most aware of them. See Nos. 1 & 2 above.

Ruining what? Do you actually spend money in support of those place which quite obviously discriminate against you?
OTOH, they're not discriminating against me and my CHL. They are telling unlicensed people that their guns aren't welcome. You reckon... :headscratch
