Welcome to TexasCHLforum! Now that you mention it. I think the majority of the few 30.06 signs I've seen in the Houston area have been at car dealerships.burrito wrote:Toyota of Plano
I didn't notice until after I had bought a vehicle there. I wouldn't have bought from them if I had seen it first. They did follow up with a phone survey and I told them how I felt. The lady had no idea what I was talking about of course, but she said she would write down my comments.
I can think of so many car salesman jokes that would fit this...Charles L. Cotton wrote: Now that you mention it. I think the majority of the few 30.06 signs I've seen in the Houston area have been at car dealerships.

Toyota of Plano is compliant in my opinion, just not in your direct sight as you walk in the front door. I went in and out probably 6 or 8 times before I noticed. The entrance had glass doors, and then a glass panel about as wide or wider than the width of the door on each side of the doors. The 30.06 was on the right glass panel in red lettering at waist high. Very hard to notice unless you are extremely observant. I actually noticed while I was inside the store looking outside.HighVelocity wrote:I can think of so many car salesman jokes that would fit this...Charles L. Cotton wrote: Now that you mention it.

Seriously though, I haven't seen a 30.06 sign at my dealer. I am going to take a closer look though, might be there and just non-compliant aka too small.
No, it's not.burrito wrote:Dallas Museum of Art is posted. Is this a legitimate "no carry" zone since it is city owned?
There is nothing in the law that forbids them from posting, but PC 30.06 can no longer be used against a CHL who carries there.I've read statements about citiy buildings not being able to post 30.06's.
The entire reasoning behind 30.06 is to protect private property rights (to not allow guns, if the property owner so chooses). Simultaneously, the big signage required to comply with 30.06 is meant to protect CHLs, so that they don't unknowingly commit criminal trespass by passing an unseen sign.Why is it that city owned property can't be posted?
That must be a relatively new development. I was there a couple of years ago and there was no sign at all as I recall, let alone a compliant 30.06 sign.Dallas Museum of Art is posted.
Has anybody considered contacting them to see if they'll take it down? Maybe if they knew that they had the potential for losing customers, they would.burrito wrote:Toyota of Plano is compliant in my opinion, just not in your direct sight as you walk in the front door.
