Guns: Changing CCW Attitudes in Texas?

Over the past few years, I've noticed that more and more businesses in Houston are ditching the silly 30.06 sign that bars entry for CCW permit holders. Instead, they post signs like this:



I think this is the non-51% sign (there's some kind of 51% sign that bars and nightclubs post to give proper notice to CCWs - I'm not sure what it looks like, so if you're carrying in Texas, look at the statutes). In any case, lawful concealed carry seems to be unaffected by signs like these (except perhaps in obvious 51% establishments - again, I'm not a Texas lawyer).

The trend could be chalked up to simple ignorance, of course; maybe businesses are really meaning to use the 30.06 sign. It could be, though, that owners are starting to realize that the 30.06 sign is harming their business (by ostracizing permitholders) without actually providing any benefits. It's not hard to believe this is the case, especially in generally gun-friendly Texas and in the somewhat conservative Vietnamese-American community. Anyway, I thought people carrying in the Lone Star State might be interested.
