Where I live in Texas the only place with the 30.06 sign is the bank where I do business. It is not really posted as required, at the entrance, but inside the bank on an interior bulletin board. Now, I happen to know the bank president fairly well. He is also a city councilman I work with on some committees. I asked him once about the sign being mis-placed. He said, "Oh, don't pay any attention to that sign. Corporate makes us put one up to sooth the Nervous Nellies. We would never press the issue with any of our legitimate CHL folks."
