I went back today. Left my 9mm in the truck. As I went in, I placed my
pen up against the letter on the sign. Using the tip of the pen as a gauge, the letters are approximately 1/4" tall. Now, are letters 3/4" shorter than required by statute enough to void the 30.06 warning?

I was going by the following section of the law. The lettering on the sign is definitley not 1" tall as required. If it was 1" there is no way all the required statements would fit on 8 1/2" X 11". Per the law, the sign must comply with the 1" requirement. My question is: If the lettering size does not meet the criteria, is the sign okay to ignore? (Nit picky? yeah)

GC §411.204. NOTICE REQUIRED ON CERTAIN PREMISES.

The sign must appear in contrasting colors with block letters at least
one inch in height and must include on its face the number "51" printed

I need some validation for my peace of mind.

Wednesday, I moved my Dad to a nursing home. Posted on the front (glass) door is a 30.06 sign on an 8 1/2" X 11" piece of red paper. The wording is fully compliant; however, the lettering is about 3/8" to 1/4" in size - the small black lettering on the red makes it difficult to read. I actually had to stop opening the door to read it.

The first time I was there, I was already at the door and went on in because I thought it was an invalid sign. The second time I was there, I had second thoughts and left my gun in my truck.

I'm going again today - Carry or No carry?
