- Full View of Sign
1. I had initially put up the picture with the bottom of the sign missing (Mo Jo). The rationale was that I found the sign humorous, and didn't necessarily wish to slam the folks putting on the class as they did a pretty good job and the location was clear on the bottom of the sign and might negatively impact them. It was at a warehouse / medical training center in Houston that the instructor was using for the classroom session, that to the best of my knowledge, is not a hospital licensed under section 242.
2. Why didn't I walk out and demand a refund? (Rotten Apple) I was getting my wife in for her CHL. Dragging her out of bed at 6:00am on a Saturday and knowing she goes into ADD-mode about 15 minutes into a 10 hour class, I'd have never gotten her back in a class anywhere else if we'd left.
3. How did they know I was carrying? (The Annoyed Man). The folks holding the class knew I have my CHL and was bringing my wife in to get her's. They were allowing me to sit in the class with her vs. dropping her off and picking her up that night. They asked at the door if I was carrying, I responded, and they politely asked if I would please take it back to the car and secure it. I considered this to be an *oral* notification under 30.06 and stowed it.
* Before using "verbal", "spoken", "enunciated", "uttered", or "oral" I decided to check the verbiage in 30.06 first *
In all, the instructor did a great job in the class, my wife got her CHL, and I found the sign to be funny/ironic.
