I understand what you're saying, but there is no such thing as an "illegal" or "invalid" 30.06 sign. It either meets the requirements and is a 30.06 sign or it's not. Period. The 30.06 statute specifically states that an 8.5x11 sheet of paper does NOT meet the requirements. There's no need to pull out a ruler at all.

And, has been noted, Cinemark theaters do post "firearms prohibited" and other non-30.06 signs. Do you obey those as well? After all, they are "attempting" to prevent concealed carry.

You're right. By not posting a 30.06 sign they have made clear that they don't want to prohibit CHL holders from entering. But that really neither here nor there. The OP stated that AMC theaters were posted 30.06. I merely pointed out that this was false.

A few weeks ago, we made one of those rare trips for our anniversary. This time we went to Cinemark in Webster because there were a few restaurants nearby. I was pleased to see NO 30.06 sign. I subsequently went by their location in Pasadena and today by Pearland. I wanted to assure that Webster wasn't an anomaly. It appears that NO Cinemark is posted while ALL AMC theaters are.

The point of this post is to promote Cinemark theaters if you are so inclined. While I support the right of a business to post their property, I will always look for an alternative for the same "product". I also see a difference between an individual business owner's decision to post as opposed to some corporate policy, possibly from outside Texas.
I have yet to see an AMC that is 30.06 posted. Oh, they all put up an 8.5x11 piece of paper with the right words on it, but that does not meet the 30.06 requirements.
