It will be interesting the day an HGL holder is wounded when someone shoots up a 30.06 location, and the holder testifies he left his gun in the car because of the sign. As far as I know, nothing stops a plaintiff's lawyer from arguing negligence based on failure to provide security after posting the sign.

Texas allows a cause of action for negligence. If passed, this would keep a plaintiff's lawyer from arguing that a jury should find the business negligent for failure to post.
