The penalty for regular trespassing is the same if you're armed.Jaguar wrote:30.06 signs have to be big and properly worded because the penalty for disregarding them is so large, i.e. $4,000.00 fine and 1 year in jail plus loss of CHL. Now if the requirements are changed and any little sticker makes it a Class A, CHL will basically be gone in Texas and only good for carrying out of state.
If they do change the sign requirements they should make the violation a Class C misdemeanor with a $10 fine for each violation. That would make it fair once again. Of course I would rather see them keep the current sign and still lower the penalty.
I am pretty sure a "No Shirts, No Shoes" violation does not carry such harsh penalties.
