Penal Code Section 30.06(c)(3)(B) further states that a sign must meet the following requirements:
i. includes the language described by Paragraph (A) in both English and Spanish;
ii. appears in contrasting colors with block letters at least one inch in height; and
iii. is displayed in a conspicuous manner clearly visible to the public.
I know this is a private property issue, not a rights issue. I would just like to hear some of your comments on this.
My comment is I always CCW and never OC. I totally understand how Grandma would be upset with some guy with a gun strapped to his hip, and I don't blame the retailer just trying to stay in business with O screwing up the economy.
My response would be that as long as they don't have metal detectors at the entrance, and it's not against the law to carry there, and your state doesn't give signs the force of law in places that are otherwise legal, then carry concealed. How are they gonna know if they don't enforce their
policy?
Please do keep us informed. There is a Giant in my area, as well as a couple in the area where most of my family lives. Pending the response you get, I would also be sending a letter proclaiming that their policy has lost them another customer.utimmer43: Yes, it's the orange/black letter Giant stores.
A letter to their corporate office was mailed on Friday, and I'm waiting for a response to confirm that this is corporate policy.

Fortunately my state allows me wide latitude in where I can CCW, so I don't alarm anyone and I am protected almost all the time. I also carry to protect myself and my loved ones, and not to make a statement. I make no apologies for that either.
Normally, it isn't grandma and grandpa who has the problem with firearms. I have consistently met more older folks who are pro-2A and more younger folks who are anti-2A!! This is why we need more firearms education and less BS action movies!!!
-- you have a better chance of accidentally being shot by a cop).
That's your decision to CC where legally allowed. However, I have to dispute your "Grandma" analogy. Grandma probably sees police officers carry weapons all the time. A citizen who is legally OC'ing is just as safe (probably more so -- you have a better chance of accidentally being shot by a cop).
That, and if Grandma is upset at someone with a gun on his hip, she might also be upset at someone with green hair, a loud motorcycle, rap music, etc., and yet we can all enjoy these things.
I choose to OC most of the time to both protect myself AND to make the statement that there is no reason to fear a gun -- just the person who is using it in an evil manner.
I recently went to my local Giant Food Store, OC'ing. Unlike the last time I was there, there was a sign placed informing customers that unless they were not law enforcement officers, they were prohibited from carrying any weapons in the store.
