But what if the anti-gunners have an agenda of their own? Has anyone given any thought to what they might try to roll back and how we might counter that? I was speaking to a friend who predicted this will be a rollback session for gun rights.
I was told by a senior senate staff member that the antis (e.g. the Moms) were going to make a real hard push to replace the 06/07 signs with downloadable gunbuster signs. They have the full support of the Texas Association of Businesses, which represents over 4,000 Texas businesses. The requirement to plaster the front of your business with the big, ugly current signage is reportedly a major sore spot in the business community. Just a heads-up.
There is no requirement for any business to post any signs related to guns other than required TABC blue / red signs.
If a business owner wants to restrict the civil right of their customers to keep and bear arms, then there is a legal mechanism for them to do that. And that legal mechanism includes the use of signage as one of several options. I don't think that is too onerous of a requirement before you are allowed to restrict the civil rights of others.
the could hand out business cards with the info or have their greeters tell everyone at the door. Signage isn't incumbent upon them.
