You are mistaken here. Posting in legal terms is required to be charged with unlawful carry under 30.06. Failure to leave after being asked or notified is trespass and not a violation of 30.06 and much different in penalty and effect. SIgns in 30.06 must be visible upon entering an facility. If the break room wall is clearly visible then it is properly posted. If not, they have not notified you. They can trespass you if they learn you have a weapon, but they must provide you an opportunity to leave and cannot hold you, which would constitute false arrest. There are a lot of factors going on here, leas of which is due process, another guanrantee, and much more defined process, in our Constitution.CWOOD wrote:First of all, you are slightly mistaken about the location of the posting of the sign. It DOES NOT have to be at the entrance. It has to be posted in a "conspicuous manner clearly visible to the public". Also remember that 30.06 notification doesn not have to be done with a sign. It can be done orally, with no specific wording, it can be done in writing with a card or other document. This must have the specific wording but Spanish is not required. Notification can also be done with the sign with block letters 1" tall, contrasting colors, specific wording in English and Spanish and a location as noted above.TxSigp229 wrote:Ok, I know that the 30.06 signs must be posted at the entrance of buildings for them to be legit.
What if they're only posted in the staff break room on the staff bulletin board? - No, I don't work there but my g/f does.
I know the sign is there. Should I ignore it or what since its not properly posted? There are no 30.06 signs at either of the two entrances to the business.
The 30.06 statute refers to coming into a location after you receive notice OR after having received notice that you failed to depart immediately. Both are violations.
From your comments, it would appear that you have already received notice. You already know about the sign and its location. It is not required that you be notified on each and every visit. If this is the case, you cannot now enter there while armed. This would be similar to someone going to a shopping mall and seeing a 30.06 sign at one entrance and then later finding and going through another entance that did not have the sign and then claiming that they did not receive proper notice. It that case they DID receive notice but tried to circumvent the restriction.
In summary, regrdless of the location of the sign, if you have already seen the sign, you cannot carry without being in violation. If the sign is not posted at the entrance, and you have not seen it before, but you later go to the lounge where it IS posted and you see it, you have not been in violation until you do see it and then fail to leave immediately. Ignoe it at your peril.
I hope this helps clarify the matter for your. Good Luck
That being said, why go somewhere that you are not welcome. Move on and or try to educate the owners.
