I thought I was trying to help by pointing out that: 1) you can be sued for anything and can lose no small amount of time and money even if you win, 2) HB435 gives a single line of defense for some in 30.06, it hasn’t been tested so who knows, but it doesn’t mean you are “exempt”, 3) I personally think that 30.06 signs would not stand the test in court if taken high enough and many other states agree. That’s all, I will shut up now. Goodnight .

I can assure you that members of this forum know very well that anyone can be sued for anything. The owner of this forum is an Attorney and he writes extensively here about responsibilities of carrying a firearm and what can happen if you break the law or legally use that firearm. One reason there is so little case law on LTC is that we, as a group, commit very few crimes. We, as a group, are very law abiding. One does not go through the hassle of getting a LTC to just turn around a break the law. We WANT to obey the law. I have legally carried since 1997 and I have NOT ONCE been asked by a LEO to see my license or to consent to a search. I could have save several hundred dollars and lots of time by just carrying a handgun without a license. I don't do that because I am a law abiding citizen. You will see on the forum people using the phrase "who wants to be the test case". The members here are probably some of the best versed group of LTC holders when it comes to the law. We discuss things in a respectful manner and some discussions get very deep. We have some members who will play the devils advocate and bring up topics to get others to think critically about some area of the law. I tell my students what the law says. I will tell them my OPINION of what that law means (only if they ask) and I always explain to them that many laws pertaining to LTC are vague because they have not been tested in court. You will enjoy this forum and the polite banter of the discussions. Welcome.
