question about this sign

[Mikel]

I ran into this sign while entering the building where the local unemployment office is (TWC). I don't recall this being off-limits and my first thought was that it would have to be a 30.06 sign to keep me from entering legally. Am I correct that I can carry here? BTW-the punctuation error makes it hard to understand the intent of the message.


Then I ran into this improperly posted sign at Progressive claims office, thought I would share it too:

I don't think there is any question about the sign's intent. Me, I don't have the dinero to be a test case.

With the insurance company, I would give my money to a company that doesn't object to my handgun.

With the TWC, I bet the property is owned or leased by a government entity. I think I would apply online or by phone anyway for other reasons.

TWC is a state agency and cannot legally post the building.

I wouldn't give them my $$ either, I was trying to sale them.

TWC Kinda made me think twice though.

Conversely, is it legal to possess a handgun outside the authority of Texas Concealed Handgun License Law in this building? I think not. I say, ignore it.

The first sign is the old model, that existed before 30.06 was enacted, and was superceded by it. It should be invalid, but as someone said, I don't want to be the test case, write them a letter pointing out that the sign is invalid.

As far as the insurance company sign, write them a letter and change insuance companies, with an attitude like that they will probably denay any claim you have if they find out you are a gun owner.

Just go somewhere else there are plenty of places that would appreciate you business. I am not going to give my money to someone that does not want me in their building and in these economic time... every sale counts.

You should consider posting these on http://texas3006.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - it also helps to sign up so you can receive alerts of new postings in your area.

I wasn't a client of theirs...I was actually trying to sale them insurance...it's kinda complicated...but I DO NOT buy from companies that post anti-gun signs of any kind.

The big clue as well being the name: "Progressive"

Recently at the Kelsey Seybold clinic off 290/1960, I noticed their previous 'gunbusters' sign had been replaced. The top portion, in english appeared to be the same as the sign noticed at the TWC. Underneath, in spanish, there appeared to be a proper 30.06 posting (i'm guessing but it looked a lot like the Progressive Insurance sign).

So, a proper posting?

Unless the sign meets the EXACT guidelines for posting a 30.06 sign, then it is not valid. The only questionable portions in my opinion are the contrast and letter size. I say if you see it, then the contrast was enough. And, if close to 1" (like 3/4" or larger on the letters) then it is close enough for me to heed the notice. I am not gonna get out a ruler to measure if they are that close.

I reread the TWC sign twice and don't see where it attempts to restrict a CHL from carrying. Am I reading it wrong?

No. It says plainly that the "UNLAWFUL" carrying of weapons is prohibited.
