Actually, it would take only one, especially if I was the one. It's gotta be unanimous.WildBill wrote:bdickens wrote:I wouldn't think that an otherwise proper sign having been defaced would make any difference.Not unless you had 12 people with CHLs sitting on the jury.
'Course, if the prosecutor has at least half a brain, he will allow no CHL on the jury.
On the other hand, a defense attorney with at least half a brain would get you off. A good one would prevent you from going to trial. The responsibility to post a proper sign means maintaining it, too. The wrong size letters, even by 1/8", words missing, letters missing, &c., are ALL technicalities which are much easier for the defense to use to prove a case. When I see a sign that doesn't meet the letter of the law, I ignore it. And since concealed means concealed, they won't know I'm carrying unless some BG comes in to rob the place and I decide to defend myself and all the other folks in the store.
What I can't figure is why you think you HAD to go to Jared in the first place. Lotsa places will clean your jewelry for you. Some may even be happy that you're armed.
