Re: 30.06 "Notice"

I think one could argue that the detailed specifications for signs and written notice in the law were put there to emphasize that you have to "receive" the proper notice before you are trespassing.
I agree. There's a common misconception that the sign has to be posted at every entrance to a building, but I don't see that in the law. On the other hand, if someone entered through a door that's not posted, and didn't see a 30.06 sign anywhere else on the property, it doesn't sound like they received notice.

The bottom line for me is there are very few people arrested violating the law, and even fewer who are charged. It's obviously a problem for those few who are caught trespassing with a gun, but it doesn't seem to be a significant problem for the CHL population as a whole.
