Without a legal definition of "educational institution", I believe (IANAL) the court is required to use the common meaning. That would mean that ISD offices would not qualify. I'd like to hear JALLEN or Charles' opinion on this one.C-dub wrote:I don't know if they are or not.

Re: Another 30.06 Scenario
Nope. Except for limited exceptions (government meetings, for example), government property cannot be posted 30.06. Or, more correctly, 30.06 signs on government property are invalid. Some government property, like courthouses, are statutorily off limits and don't require 30.06 signs. But in general, 30.06 is meaningless on government property.Divided Attention wrote:Am I missing something - or does the 30.06 not trump all?
