The relevant word above is "or", and section (A) applies if you walk past a proper 30.06 sign, not section (B)(2) received notice that:
(A) entry on the property by a license holder with a concealed
handgun was forbidden; or
(B) remaining on the property with a concealed handgun was
forbidden and failed to depart.
Does this make sense? Do I have this right?
(B) means you received notice AFTER you entered the property (for example, no sign, but received a verbal notice after entering) and failed or refused to leave
