"My hands and feet are 'registered lethal weapons'. Can I shop here or not?"

Wording probably chosen by a CHL holder who was told by a supervisor to post a sign (to make sheep customers more comfortable.)

LOL. Sabotage.
"Is that the right sign?"
"Oh ya. See right here? It has to be in English and Spanish." (while showing partial text)
"Ok. Good job, Bob."

It's a nice sign for customers to read.
Before I retired, I might have posted something like that if told to put up a sign.
It makes sheeple feel comfortable
It keeps the unlicensed people who carry criminally out ? ... although it does sorta invite ignorant robbers still by announcing a target rich zone.

This is like any other non-valid sign, CHLers don't pay attention to it unless they state it properly or ask you to leave if they discover you have a gun.

The Texas Workforce Commission privatized their employment security function over 10 years ago at the mandate of then Governor Bush. They funnel money through the Workforce Development Boards (not state agencies) to 3rd party vendors. So it's not state government property, but the sign still isn't valid.

Why they gotta hate on 1911's though?!

To be completely correct, the Spanish translation literally says "Workforce Solutions does not permit no firearm". So with the double negative do they require a firearm? Notice the singular noun in Spanish, also. Do they mean you're not allowed to bring one, but can bring more than one? Or, to be literal, you're not allowed not to bring one firearm?

Not really. "No permite ningun" would be translated "does not permit any". There are many constructions in Spanish that, literally translated, would be double negatives in English, but they're not, when properly translated. To be consistent with the English, however, they could have written "armas de fuego" (for firearms), but that's a minor point. "Does not allow any fiream" makes the same point that the English makes.
