Completly sarcastic.

Originally I told her, that is my wife, that I did not want to go there. I didn't tell her why because she would think that is a stupid reason. So I looked up show times at other theaters and AMC was the theater showing the movie we wanted to take the kids to at 10:00. Everything else was around lunch time. So I would normally have gone somewhere else, but she HAD to go to this 10:00 showing. Going off of www.texas3006.com, I knew there was a sign, but everyones comments said it was not legal, so I went ahead took a "huge" risk and carried. And amazingly, I didn't get outed. They were patting people down at the ticket booth and I had to tactically move around the security screening to keep from getting outed. Got 'em this time.

That's what I was thinking also. I havn't seen many 30.06 signs, but the ones I have seen are all capital letters which led me to believe that "block lettering" meant all capital.

Just visited the Gulf Pointe AMC 30 movie theater off the Beltway in the Pasadena area. Checked www.texas3006.com before I went and they said there was a 30.06 sign, but that it was not valid. I saw the sign, which I would have to agree does not meet the specifications laid out in the law. It was contrasting colors, white back ground with black letters, and used the correct language in both english and spanish. Three things I question about it; one, there are about 10 doors all side by side at the front and only entrance and the sign was posted on about the 2nd or 3rd door from the far left side. So if you bought your tickets at the ticket booth on the far right side and used the far right side door, you would probably miss it ( maybe mostly due to the size, which brings up #2). Two, the entire sign was about the size of a normal sheet of paper, 8 1/2" x 11", so I would say the lettering height was not correct because of the overal size of the sign. Thrid, and I'm not sure about this one, the law stats "block letters," every other sign I've seen is all capitalized, this sign the first letter of each sentence was the only letter capitalized. Does that matter? Even if that is a legal way to write it, the sign IMHO is not big enough and really needs to have a better posting. There were other signs, not 30.06 signs or gun control signs, which were posted on the each side of the doors which were large and clearly visible to everyone entering, not matter which side.

So I guess the real question here is, as far as the font goes, DOES IT HAVE TO LOOK LIKE THIS or Can it look like this?
