Do you go to businesses that have a 30.06 sign (or similar gun excluding signs in other states)?
I don't. I resent having to go back to my car and leave my gun risking it being stolen and taking a chance based on their gun bias of getting robbed or hurt and not have my weapon.
Will not support anti gun businesses.

Edit: Sorry for the double posting of this thread, but the site messed up and didn't let me set up my poll and the site shut down from the time I posted until 6:15 (or at least that's what it said)

Hello. No, sir. I do not and if at all possible I do not patronize stores with the "no guns allowed " signs that do not meet the provisions of the "30.06 sign."

Best.
 
Definitely not. We also do not patronize blockbuster,conoco phillips, 7/11, gillette,sarah lee, leatherman, etc..etc..etc..

No, I don't patronize those places that want to put me at risk.

it's hard not to go to the post office.

Not at all. The local supermarket sells stamps, money orders and mails packages. If I'm really lazy, I can buy the stamps and arrange to mail a package on the USPS web site and the carrier picks it up free of charge. Money orders are no charge at my bank (and I can legally carry there).
 
I cant actually recall seeing a sign like that in SE Michigan, guess I havent paid enough attention. Anyone in the area know of any businesses with this kinda thing posted?

but to the point, I wouldnt frequent any establishment that would be so blunt as to post that kind of crap.

Here in PA, its VERY rare to find a place with a sign since they hold no legal value.

But places like Kennywood, some clubs, and anywhere else that will search you prior to entry? No.
 
I work for a business that excludes my guns. :barf:

I actually havn't noticed any sort of 30.06 sign around here.
 
Is a hospital a business? You pay them. Then in TX, you can roll your body off the gurney as they wheel you into the emergency room. Most of the ones around here have legal 30.06s.

A private store - nope - I ditched a Taco Cabanna that put one up. I called them and made the speech - no change though.
 
Heck NO I don't spend my money in them...with one exception: My bank has the stupid sign now that they changed ownership. I've been with the bank so long, I don't want to change. A few years ago, they had the stupid signs up, I wrote them a letter complaining and they came down. But over time and with the change of owners, the signs are back up. Guess it's time to write them again. In any event, if I do go into a bank or hospital with the stupid signs, I just ignore them and carry anyway. Worst that can happen is they ask me to cease & desist trespassing, whereupon I can then leave before being charged with trespass. But in some states, it's a serious crime to ignore them, so that'd be a different story.
 
No

I had to give up going to the Firestone store where I bought my special snow tires. And the liquor store is posted so I can't buy any hard liquor in Grove City.:mad:

My local Tuffy is not posted and I made it clear I would continue with them (they do great work) as long as they are not posted.:)

Attached is my camo sunbird with studded tires for ice storms. Wave to me on 315 in Columbus.:)

No, it's not. They're not talking about the rifle cartridge. They're talking about a numbered section of the Texas Statutes relating to the concealed carry law - the one numbered 30.06 talks about the requirements of a sign posted on private property to be 'effective' in keeping out those carrying concealed weapons. Only applicable in one state. But a BIG state. :p
 
have you ever asked the managers of those businesses what the reason for the signs are? typically they will state 'insurance'.

so i asked an insurance professional about this. he agreed with my assertation that the signs are a 'feel-good measure, much like the posting of National Guard with unloaded weapons in airport terminals'. there is no legal basis, but rather, it provides a first line of defense from an insurance claim filed by someone who is shot while on that businesses property. they can claim they did not wish to have armed patrons, thus the sign.
the end result such companies hope for is that responsibility for injuries sustained due to the use/misuse of a gun will go somewhere else than the businessowner.
 
I've carried a long while but the only PC 30.06 I can recall ever seeing is at the Saxet Gun Show and I do remain alert for signage. I did see a sign at a hospital that tried to post a PC 30.06 but they got it wrong. The Post Office belongs to the Feds and I'm not going to challenge them but I carry everywhere else. Except the Saxet show. I won't patronize a business that bars my guns.

PROHIBITING HANDGUNS IN A BUSINESS OR OTHER ENTITY

In order to provide notice that entry on property by a license holder with a concealed handgun is forbidden, Penal Code Section 30.06(c)(3)(A) requires that a written communication contain the following language:

"PURSUANT TO SECTION 30.06, PENAL CODE (TRESPASS BY HOLDER OF A 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."

"CONFORME A LA SECCIÓN 30.06 DEL CÔDIGO PENAL (TRASPASAR PORTANDO ARMAS DE FUEGO) PERSONAS CON LICENCIA BAJO DEL SUB-CAPITULO H, CAPITULO 411, CODIGO DE GOBIERNO (LEY DE PORTAR ARMAS), NO DEBEN ENTRAR A ESTA PROPIEDAD PORTANDO UN ARMA DE FUEGO."


Penal Code Section 30.06(c)(3)(B) further states that a sign must meet the following requirements:

includes the language described by Paragraph (A) in both English and Spanish;

appears in contrasting colors with block letters at least one inch in height; and

is displayed in a conspicuous manner clearly visible to the public.

Please note that while the language provided above may be downloaded for convenience, it does not meet the requirements of Section 30.06(c)(3)(B) and may not be used as a sign.

It's private property, their choice. If you don't feel safe on that private property, that's one thing. But I'm not going to bother boycotting someones right to decide what happens in THEIR place of business.


Doesn't matter if the sign says "No guns" or "No open beverages"; their place, their call.

Texas says they have the right to do so but they must do it by law if they do. It's their place and their call, you got it right so far. However, it's my money and my call too.
 
That's true. I'm just pointing out what, exactly, you are boycotting.

Namely, someone else's personal choice about the running of their business. If it truly is a big inconvenience to you, than it makes sense to avoid the place.

But boycotting out of principle is another matter when you want someone to waive one of their rights so you can exercise YOUR priveledge on their property.


Do those of you with children boycott bars with "No minors allowed" signs, out of principle? Who are they to say where you can take YOUR child?;)
 
I don't go to the liquor store that's posted because it is a prime business for an armed holdup. and the tire store is in a bad part of town.:(
