A school doesn't have to post a sign anyway

You are missing the point.

They posted a sign saying carrying was illegal. You now have a choice, ignore it (as notRPB said) and face arrest as it might really be illegal to carry there unknown to you, or investigate further to make sure the sign is bogus and it is OK to carry there. Free country, you get to choose, and own your action.

Like I said, after the Dallas Zoo, I am ever more careful about ignoring signs. YMMV.

The sign is factually incorrect as it states that carrying is 30.05 criminal trespass, which it is not. That would make me less likely to think that it was a school...or a racetrack, or place of execution.

As for the Dallas Zoo, prior to their claiming they were an amusement park, you would have easily beaten the rap. Now the AG says he believes they are an amusement park...ultimately it will have to be decided in court. In the meantime if you were to CC, it would be very unlikely that you would be the test case.

Why would you ignore it? It might be a factual sign and carrying a firearm might be illegal. You need to know what is going on at that place before you decide if you can ignore it or not.

Because you couldn't be prosecuted for carrying at a hospital unless they are posted w/ 30.06 compliant sign.

How so, it's just Class C misdemeanor?
