If they post a sign that meets the requirements they have provided notice. I get that part.

Cant receive notice if it's not provided in an effective manner; and a 30.06 posted at only one entrance 2 blocks away isnt an effective manner.

Hope this will help.

I interpret this as: Gotta see the sign to receive notice.

Do you walk straight out as fast as you can, or will alarms go off as soon as you enter? What would be the right thing to do?

Thanks,

Welcome to the forum. Ask all the questions you want. One of the most common statements here is "concealed means concealed". No one has the right to search you without cause and you dont have to answer any questions. If you walk into a 30.06 pretend you left something in the car & casually walk out.
