Kieth B.....
Kieth B.... EDITED TO ADD: This looks like the old version of the sign, so, see below:

Now, even though the sign may not be really legal, the hospital local police and others may feel it is. If you are found out, then you may 'beat the rap, but not the ride' and be detained, taken in etc. until you can prove otherwise. Your mileage may vary.

[ *] In reference to the above, I have always had respect for the Law and have always believed in the JUSTICE SYSTEM. I have never been in jail, and I have never set a foot in a courtroom, and I have never been in front of a judge, and never have had to hire a Lawyer. What I'm trying to say is that in reference to a NOT LEGAL 30.06 SIGN, posted at entrance of a hospital and supposedly I would ," for instance" ignore it, because it's not a legal sign according to Penal Code Section 30.06, But or AND somehow , for whatever reason I'm found out, and the hospital police were to detain me because according to" THEIR interpretation " of the Law, they and others may feel it is a legal sign, even though it doesn't contain the correct language. Wouldn't the authorities REALLY make sure that they are right before arresting me? Wouldn't I be considered innocent until proven guilty? And if taken for a ride, wouldn't that be considered a violation of my rights? And if the D.A. would also feel that the sign is legal, wouldn't somewhere along the RIDE, some authority in the JUSTICE SYSTEM, like, maybe the JUDGE would KNOW the law and be on my side? If I haven't committed a violation, TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, why would I need to hire a lawyer? Wouldn't the LAW itself be my defense without having a Lawyer point out the LAW to those who are suppose to be the LAW?
Kieth B, please understand that I'm not joking and I'm not trying to seem like a smart nor ignorant brat with my questions. I admit that I don't know the answer to my questions and that to knowledgeable persons of the law, my whole posting, will seem foolish, my apologies for my ignorance. Bye.

Thank you Keith for responding. I know that questions on this subject are been repeated over and over again and some persons may be getting tired of reading and responding to them with courtesy, but I believe that as more and more persons apply for their CHLs, the 30.06 subject will continue to be a very important topic. I hope that anyone who responds to topics that seem old re-runs, will do so in a manner that will not intimidate the new CHLs of tomorrow from asking questions that to senior members may seem "dumb questions." I believe that knowledge is gained by learning the right answer to every question asked no matter how "dumb" it may sound. Thank you for your answer and well mannered courtesy.

Sorry, I meant there is no mention of SUBCHAPTER H, CHAPTER 411 GOVERNMENT CODE ,Thank You.
