Re: would you ignore this sign (30.03 vs. 30.06)

Ralph Waldo Emerson went and visited Henry David Thoreau in jail after the latter was arrested for refusing to pay a poll tax. Legend has it that Thoreau's aunt reported their initial exchange:
Emerson: Henry, why are you here?
Thoreau: Waldo, why are you not here?

I don't think this is merely a "typo". I'd stop reading the sign at "30.03", knowing that nothing in Texas PC 30.03 applies to me. A typo in the text (which I'd also likely ignore) is one thing - although I'd still ignore it as non-compliant due to the way the law is written. Exact is exact. This, however, is referencing an entirely different statute altogether - regardless of what the rest of the sign says.

I agree with the earlier poster who reaffirmed:
- Concealed is concealed
- They most likely won't determine that carrying unless I need to draw, in which case it's to save my life and worth the fallout.

Furthermore, if you were somehow noticed and asked to leave or they called the police, my guess is that you'd have better than a 50/50 chance of getting the opportunity to leave amicably without having charges pressed. I'm not banking on it, but that's my hypothesis.

I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice to anybody here.
