Interesting. Although there is not yet a mechanism in the statutes for taking action against governmental entities for posting (or allowing to be posted) 30.06 signs, it does seem like there ought to be a cause of action if a peace officer enforces an illegally created no-go zone against CHL carriers by either preventing entry or arresting (or detaining, or ejecting etc etc). I really don't see how at this stage of the CHL game that law enforcement could claim that such enforcement was in good faith or that the law was not clear. :headscratch
