We have a right to be silent. I would let my lawyer talk to the DA for me instead of being stupid.

All I know is I am taking my own water and candy into the theater...no matter the penalty. If they catch me, I will do like you and refuse to speak until I get my lawyer. I think the odds of getting caught are pretty slim as long as your water and candy are properly concealed. They have no way of catching us unless they have x-ray vision.

It looks like a loophole in the law to me, I think that wording should either be eliminated or modified to include a requirement that the CHL holder be presented with the document or card and both parties sign for it.

Note the "OR" at the end.

Yes, it's a "sign" that doesn't meet (B) but it is a "written communication" on a "document" with the right language, which seems to me to be a very large and inconvenient loophole to be used against someone who passes it.

I don't fehave any problems about passing gunbusters signs, or improperly posted signs, or 30.05 signs like those at Dallas Love Field, but that little document in the window gives me pause.
