Your completely right in all regards. I'll leave the thread alone. I always tend to think worst case scenario. I'm sure you were and will be fine, and were completely legal in doing so.

I totally agree. I just try to be on the side of caution. While the OP is clearly within their legal right, sometimes you will be forced to prove that legal right in court. Granted if he's concealed, 99% of the time, no one will know and there is no problem. But the time there is a problem, you are at the mercy of the officer and how well they know the law. I'm not a huge fan of the OCT group, but you can look at hundreds of youtube videos where people were in there full legal right to be carrying and still got arrested. They may have come out on top in the end but I'm not going through the hassle for something simple.

Edit: If you think about it, if you are the unlucky one, you get a night in jail. You end up missing work the next day. What if you had been sick a lot recently and had no more absences allowed. You also have court fees, possible lawyer fees, and everything else just to prove your innocent. Again, you very may well win, but your still out the time and money to prove your innocence. One of those open carry guys that got arrested at the capitol a year or 2 ago. He was completely legal to be there, got arrested anyways, and spent almost a year in legal battles to prove he was legally able to be there. Yes all charges were dropped, but a year long battle to prove that? I'll pass.

I'll agree with ya on that. There are certain things you can easily talk to an officer about and resolve. For instance if there is no 30.06 sign, and some random person makes a MWAG call. That's an easy situation to walk free from. However, if they have a 30.06 sign posted, maybe its correct, maybe it's not, I would guess the majority of the time the cop is gonna say it's posted 30.06, and you are gonna have to fight it out in court. Granted, you would most likely win, but I'm not going through all that hassle if it's easily avoided in the first place. Legalities aside, if they have some form of 30.06 sign posted, the business owners clearly do not want you there. They too obviously didn't research the law enough to post the correct verbiage but their intent is clear. I wouldn't go in.

While Charles is correct, hypothetically if someone makes out your concealed firearm, and calls the police, you better hope the cop has a thorough understanding of the law, otherwise you are taking a ride. To me, not worth it.

Id say no. If it posted its off limits
