I did go in and watch the movie as I had already purchased tickets, and knew the sign was not legal. However, next movie I go to won't be at that theater.

I would have done the same. This is one of those situations where no one would even know you were carrying unless you needed to defend yourself(or wife/kids). I would much rather be in violation of 30.06 than be dead.

i don't get why they felt compelled to put the sign up but didn't make enough effort to do it right. seems pointless to me.

I would have simply asked for my money back, even though the sign isn't legal, you would have still been out lawyer fees and court cost. I refuse to do business with any business that has that sign.

I have a theory about this. A possible explanation would be that the owner knows exactly what they are doing. By posting a completely non-compliant 30-06 sign especially 1' above the ground, they are telling the legal CHL holder to "come on in and please bring your gun". And for the anti's who feel "safer" where evil guns aren't allowed, the owner has done his part to keep those idiots safe. I've seen the same sort of signage at other places where I guarantee you the people in their corporate risk management group knew exactly what was a legal 30-06 sign and what was not. If they truly did not want concealed guns carried on their premises, they would have put up a proper sign. My theory may not be correct, but it sure would explain the reason behind the bogus signs.
