I have been in places that were clearly 51% places and could never find a sign or even find their liquor license to see if it was red or blue. I would use ones best judgment as to what to do if a 51% sign was found after ordering food. Just finish and leave would seem to be the best. Remember that it used to be illegal to carry in a 51% place whether they posted or not. Now it is a "defense to prosecution" if you don't see a sign.TX0303 wrote:Like other places I have seen, they just put up all the signs the TABC sends them in their packet.
...I gotta search this one out...that would be good news...it sure DID used to be that you were in trouble whether or not they posted the 51% signs at each entrance,or not at all...if it's a "defense to prosecution", I wanna find where...I've been in a lotta 51% places and found the signs only as I walked out...or not at all...I don't say anything for the same reason I don't talk to them about 30.06 signs...
...it's not listed under PC46.035 covering Unlawful Carrying of Handgun by License Holder...where we're told about our responsibilities regarding 51%...can someone help me out finding that "defense to prosecution" change???
