What color does the 30.06 posting have to be?

Post by Doug.38PR »

I always thought it was a white background with red or black letters.
I know the law is pretty particular about how businesses can ban guns. It has to be a certain size, posted in a conspicuous place, in both english and spanish, have specific legal language and certain other things.

Reason I ask, is because the 30.06 posting in Katy Leftist Mills mall has a blue background with red or white letters. Does this legally ban me from carrying?

Memorial City Hosptial has a 30.06 posting in granite stone. Is that legal?

(BTW, what prompted this post was that I went to see a movie there at KLM at the request of my father this weekend and had to leave my gun in the car. I normally patronize their businesses, but dad wanted to go at that time. We went to see Rescue Dawn. GOOD movie. End commercial)

Texas Penal Code 30.06 (B) a sign posted on the property that:
(i) includes the language described by
Paragraph (A) in both English and Spanish;
(ii) appears in contrasting colors with
block letters at least one inch in height; and

clearly visible to the public.

The law does not specify colors.
(3) "Written communication" means:
(A) a card or other document on which is written language identical to the following: "Pursuant to Section 30.06, Penal Code (trespass by holder of license to carry a concealed handgun), a person licensed under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code (concealed handgun law), may not enter this property with a concealed handgun"; or
(B) a sign posted on the property that:
(i) includes the language described by Paragraph (A) in both English and Spanish;
(ii) appears in contrasting colors with block letters at least one inch in height; and
(iii) is displayed in a conspicuous manner clearly visible to the public.
I don't think letters chiseled in stone qualify as "contrasting colors" unless the interior of the letters is painted or something like that.

However, as someone always says, who wants to be a test case?

To which someone always replies, concealed means concealed.
