Besides, how many 30.06 violations haven actually prosecuted since it's been part of the penal code???

It will change the way I act in one respect - signs will no longer be "close enough". If the wording isn't right, the words too small, it lacks a contrasting background, etc.. I'm walking right passed the noncompliant sign. This is not something I would have considered before because of the potential costs and consequences associated with defending myself in court. But, I'm sure I can find $200 if I had to.

I personally will not spend any money in a business that is posted 30.06. By posting they are making a statement and I make one by not doing business there. If I see a sign, legal or not, they are not getting my money.

On campus off limit areas would be posted with 30.06 signs. Walking past the sign is a class A in some cases and a felony in others...I think.

JMRA,

Thanks. I was thinking the same thing but really needed clarification on this.

So currently, we can still be on campus in public places but not buildings, correct. When the law changes (both in time and areas restricted) we will be able to carry into unrestricted buildings etc. All these new time frames make it hard to fathom out.
