And that's where I was having a problem. I knew they applied to different groups of people, but thought there was also a blue 51% sign to make it clear instead of someone having to guess. I've only been to one bar that was probably really a 51% location in the last 25-30 years and that was earlier this year.

The lettering may be blue, but the 51% is red (but if posted in a window, may be faded out), and that sign is referred to on the liquor license as "Sign=RED"

There are only two signs -- The RED 51% sign, and the blue "unlicensed possession" sign.

Well, color me

. I have not seen a real red one yet. I was in a place where there should have been one, but didn't carry because I figured there would be one and then didn't even look for it. I would have lost money betting that I had seen a picture of one around here somewhere.

Do you mean at all or just in the establishment you were in?

If only the 51% and Unlicensed Possession signs are posted I'm having trouble understanding what is incorrect about them both being posted.

The problem is that the law does not prohibit CHL holders from carrying in locations that are required to post the blue sign. This location should only post the blue sign. Businesses do not get to choose which sign(blue/red) they post. The type of liquor license they have determines which sign they are required to display. The location sells alcohol but receives most of its revenue from other products and/or services. It should display only the blue sign and CHL holders are permitted to carry in locations that post blue signs. If the restaurant wants to prohibit CHL holders from carrying, then they need to post a 30.06 sign.

Now I think you are confusing the blue 51% sign up with the blue letter "unlicensed possession" sign as seen in Scott in Houston's picture. However, yes, posting both red and blue 51% signs would be a conflict.

I think it is a requirement if you sell alcohol at all.

Yeah, I think I'm just confused now. The red 51% sign applies to CHL holders and unlicenced sign applies to everyone else, right? I don't see the problem with having both of these signs posted, but have the feeling I'm going to be really

when someone points it out to me.

Well done and congratulations Mr. Comstock.

I would like to ask for a little clarification please. I'm either a little more dense than usual tonight or I'm just not reading your post correctly. I'm not clear on which signs were posted at this establishment. Was the 51% sign red or blue? And which sign are you referring to when you say "blue letter sign?" Is that the typical "unlicensed possession" sign we see at stores and restaurants?

Thanks.
