Re: Krogers signage question
Looks like Academy is a no go for some of you folks that take a hard line approach. They appear to be more anti-gun than HEB. <sarcasm>

Re: Krogers signage question
Target has the same sign.
What the sign does signify is that the proprietor has so little regard for the law that they can not even take the time to find out what the proper signage is necessary to properly convey their message to the public. If one is lawfully carrying then that sign means nothing. If they are illegally carrying, then that sign means nothing.

Re: Krogers signage question
Actually that sign is required by the TABC to be posted for all alcohol retailers that sell for off-premise consumption. That is according to the TABC website. So it has nothing to do with the regard of the proprietor at that location.thetexan wrote:Target has the same sign.

They have not ever given in to mom's demand nonsense, and I have never seen a no-guns sign posted at their store, of any type, that wasn't required by law, nor asked for my LTC when carrying openly in any of their stores.
I shop there almost exclusively for groceries because of those reasons.
Kroger has been very supportive of our 2A rights. I don't OC often however, few times I did in Kroger the staff were polite as always. Folks I know say the same.
Great place, definitely an upgrade from HEB, at least where I live.
Re: Krogers signage question
I believe that sign is not correct, certainly not current. But maybe it can still be used. That is a good research project.

And maybe the owner posted it or maybe the TABC posted it. If the owner posted it AND it is out of date then the owner needs to do his homework. If it is completely out of the owner's hands....
then I'd agree with you.

Re: Krogers signage question
My local grocery store is a Foodarama. They seem a little confused about what signs they need. At the door they have a TABC blue sign (they don't serve alcohol on premises), a legit sized and worded 30.07, and a real big gunbuster style sign featuring a detailed picture of a Colt revolver. Since I don't carry a revolver I know that doesn't refer to me. http://texaschlforum.com/posting.php?mo ... =7&t=88734#

Re: Krogers signage question
HUH? Whether or not it has any gunbuster style sign on it or not, does not effect the validity of the sign. It is the wording and min. size and block lettering that you need to pay attention too.RSX11 wrote:My local grocery store is a Foodarama. They seem a little confused about what signs they need.

Re: Krogers signage question
I do not think there is an update requirement for TABC signs as stringent as the .06 or .07 signs (which are entirely posted or not posted at proprietors discretion).thetexan wrote:I believe that sign is not correct, certainly not current.

Re: Krogers signage question
TABC was apparently providing that sign language after some open carry rifle demonstrations, and shortly after OC passed. The wording of the sign is factually incorrect, but perhaps it meets the TABC requirements for a BLUE sign. I've seen it a Target along with the regular TABC blue sign. It's essentially irrelevant as well as being incorrect in its statement of the law. I don't think it indicated anything other than the store manager got the sign or language from TABC and thought they were supposed to post it.

Re: Krogers signage question
TABC does not post signs. They require the business to post one of two signs. They have to post either BLUE 'Unlicensed possession' sign meaning they sell alcohol for off-premise consumption, OR they make less that 51% of their revenue from the sale for on-premise consumption, or a RED 51% sign meaning they make more than 51% from on-premise consumption sales. The BLUE sign does not prohibit an LTC from carrying, hence the wording 'Unlicensed possession'. The RED sign is off-limits for LTC's by law.thetexan wrote:I believe that sign is not correct, certainly not current. But maybe it can still be used. That is a good research project.

Re: Krogers signage question
Ah yes, I'm fully aware. I was pointing out their funny signage, and essaying a jape. Unfortunately the reply editor didn't properly display the smiley face in my post, but printed an url instead...HUH? Whether or not it has any gunbuster style sign on it or not, does not effect the validity of the sign. It is the wording and min. size and block lettering that you need to pay attention too.
