Re: "gunbuster" signs, trespassing, etc.

They don't have to. They can post a compliant 30.06 sign instead.

Consider this scenario. A business posts a one-inch square gunbuster sticker on the door, or next to the cash register. You're carrying and honestly don't notice the little sticker. They suspect you're carrying and call the police. You're arrested and convicted of a Class A misdemeanor and sent to jail for a year. Does that sound fair?

I see your point and I believe a hoplophobe should be able to prohibit guns on his property to the same extent a homophobe is able to prohibit gays on his property. No more and no less. Equal.

If someone is carrying illegally, or smoking pot illegally, no signs are required to arrest and prosecute.
