OK here is some clarifications for you:
51% only applies to a business who derives 51% (or more) of its income from the sale of alcoholic beverages for ON-SITE CONSUMPTION.
Places that sell alcohol (and does not fit above) post "The unlicensed Possession of a Firearm is a Felony signs. They might also post on site consumption is a misdemeanor signs.
The only sign recognized by law that can limit places CHL holders can go (other than those places legislatively prohibited). Is a sign that meets the requirements of TPC 30.06 (Commonly referred to as the 30.06 sign).
TPC 30.06 makes it a Class A misdemeanor if a CHL holder, after given effective notice, remains in a place that prohibits carry of CHL holders.
What this is in a nutshell, anyone who is the owner, or acting for the owner can verbally tell you "you cannot be here with your weapon, you have to offload in your car or leave" - That is effective notice (no verbiage requirement)
If they want to post a sign then the sign must comply with the requirements outlined in 30.06 - The letters must 1" lettering, the words must appear in english and spanish and it also tells what the exact language must be, making a sign that is about 3 ft by 4 ft. - Any other sign, i.e. "Gun buster", No weapons, etc ARE NOT LEGALLY BINDING. You can choose to ignore them or based on their wishes spend your money in a more CHL friendly place.
If you are looking for a Forum that covers just about everything CHL related go to http://www.texaschlforum.com, it is a great site for info where subjects such as 30.06, Car carry, lessons learned, etc can be found. It is owned by a lawyer in Houston who is very active in the CHL movement and spends alot of time in Austin during the bi-annual legislative sessions. Alot of good people and alot of good information.
See you there,
Bryan
