They took down a 30.06 and put this up, and you don't want to do business with them? Maybe if we all weite enough letters, we can get them to tear down this abominable sign and put the 30.06 back.

While this sign is certainly "better" (in that it's not enforceable) than a 30.06 sign, I would much rather do business with bank/credit union that didn't put up ANY "no gun" sign whether it's 30.06 or not.

There is of course the argument that the big bold "GUN FREE ZONE" part of the sign is interpreted by bank robbers and other criminals as an EASY VICTIM ZONE, thus that could be a logical reason to avoid the premises as well.

@ RPB - I was gonna post the FoxNews GunFreeZone video too, but you beat me to it.

I wonder if a criminal who gets shot by a CHL in a gunbuster "gun free zone" could sue the establishment for false advertisement .... hey the sign said criminal safe zone/EASY VICTIM ZONE...

Funny too that they used a white circle instead of a red one and (had to enlarge to read it but) new language used states a 30.05 trespass threat which gives a CHL a defense.
Too many Pro-CHL moves from one sign to the other to be coincidence imho.

30.05 CRIMINAL TRESPASS
(f) It is a defense to prosecution under this section that:

(1) the basis on which entry on the property or land or in the building was forbidden is that entry with a handgun was forbidden; and

(2) the person was carrying a concealed handgun and a license issued under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, to carry a concealed handgun of the same category the person was carrying.

had a valid 30.06 sign but font too small, changed to one even less enforceable

that had to be on purpose, possibly some CHL pointed it out to some anti-gun employee that the old one was non-compliant and a pro-gun manager or sign-putter-upper put up a new one to pacify the employee who was anti who was being vocal about the CHL who talked too much

I mean if they had correct wording in the first place ... then intentionally changed to a gunbuster ...
with the new "gun free zone" wording ... who uses that term other than CHLs/pro-gun persons and people who saw the video?

I mean terminology differences ... like Campus Carry supporters say "campus carry" and antis say "guns on campus" .... gun-free zone to me indicates someone who put up the sign intended to allow CHLs in but pacify the antis
