IANAL so I can't say that it's the standard or not. I am just trying to be a "reasonable person."Katygunnut wrote:If that's the standard, then it makes it alot easier.

They only apply to people wearing ankle holsters.
If anyone is raped, beaten or murdered on a college campus from this day forward
The senators who blocked SB 354 from being considered on 4/7/11 and
The members of the house calendar committee who haven't scheduled HB 750
Have the victims' blood on their hands.

Re: 30.06 Signs Posted At Shoe Level
....and I would not carry if there is any possibility of the sign meeting legal standings. 1" block letters with the correct language, even if I find it behind a planter, I will honor. If the letters are in italics and 1/2", I will honor that too. Something off the printer, with 1/4" letters, at shoe level, not posted on every door, tattered, smudged......WildBill wrote:I agree. My point is that it would be hard for a person to say he should not be charged because he saw the sign, but another people may not have seen it.MoJo wrote:The ones that may not meet being conspicuous are the signs behind super dark tinted glass and obscured by plants etc. If you see it - - - it applies to you - - - providing all other criteria are met.WildBill wrote:My thought is that if you saw the sign then it is conspicous. If the DA really wanted to press charges, he would do so.
Now, what if the sign is not even close to the legal requirement? What if you buy your ticket and written notice is on the back of the ticket? I know what I would do at that point. Excuse myself for something I forgot in the car.
My point in all this is that each has to know what is legal, what is not, and to what degree you are willing to go to protect your state-given rights.

I know. I was being a little tongue in cheek.

Also, I think that anybody who is crawling into a building at "Shoe Level" shouldn't be carrying anyway.Katygunnut wrote:WildBill wrote:Katygunnut wrote:I know. I was being a little tongue in cheek.

Re: 30.06 Signs Posted At Shoe Level
I agree, which is why I walked into the place and visited with the Constable. If I was discovered, my bet was that the LEO I was chatting with would be my official point of contact with the authorities. That would be one of the few times that it would be better to be asked to leave, rather than invited for a visit.WildBill wrote:Also, I think that anybody who is crawling into a building at "Shoe Level" shouldn't be carrying anyway.
