Re: Almost went to jail!!!
I'm just glad that with the new laws I don't have to worry about some one seeing my gun when I reach up or bend over. I will not stir up trouble, that way we are probably going to be left alone. Just the way I like it

I am reminded of a scene from the movie Tombstone, where Wyatt Earp played by Kurt Russell is riding out of town and passes William Brocius played by Powers Boothe.
Earp says "I just want you to know it's over"
and Brocius says "Well.......bye".

I do think this person is a troll and is bluffing.
The laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.

Uh-Huh .....and WHO decided that?It was reason and discernment that made it clear he was trolling. The evidence was laid out so that even an ant could see it.

So. He is going to go back in to where ever he claims he was, with the same of newer sign, walk in after having been scolded by police, with a police record of the visit, and prove to the rest of us that, what, it CAN be done??? Sure it CAN be done.tomtexan wrote:I just can't believe someone would risk their license that cost so much time and money to obtain, just to prove a point.PSTL*PAKR wrote: I will prove it.

I laid it out in my posts. It is pretty obvious. Too bad you can't see it.

Yeah, fabricating a story like that just to stir the pot will come come back to bite the fabricator. It's a shame you can't or chose not to see what he was doing.

Re: Almost went to jail!!!
What I "see" is ONE person appointing themselves judge and jury, confident they have the answer(s)?I laid it out in my posts. It is pretty obvious. Too bad you can't see it.
I agree with 'some' of your points, but am not persuaded to summarily attack the character or intentions of the OP, having no more to go on than has been posted. Perhaps you are less inclined to exercise restraint?

Re: Almost went to jail!!!
He posted this long before any of this in this thread was posted.
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=81327&p=1035928#p1035928
viewtopic.php?f=129&t=76754
I noticed his inconsistencies in this thread, recalled a previous interaction I had with him and did some additional research before I called him on it. I even gave him some opportunities to come clean or clear up his inconsistencies. Yes, I was very confident before I took a public stand.
The judge and jury comment is nothing but childish personal attack.

Re: Almost went to jail!!!
Here's what I understand about this issue. The state has passed laws that define precisely what a sign must look like to be compliant. It has to be in both Spanish and English. The letters have to be a certain height. The wording has to be precisely what the law says. If a sign is non-compliant, a licensed gun carrier may walk past it without breaking the law.
Here's where the difference comes in that so many seem to be missing. 30.07 protects CC. If a business owner wants to completely and legally ban guns from their business they MUST post both signs properly. If a business owner has an incorrect 30.07 sign but no 30.06 sign, you can walk in open carrying, but you can also rest assured you will receive verbal notice. The problem is that verbal notice MAY prevent you from CCing in that business in the future, depending upon how the notice was given. "We don't want guns in here" is sufficient legal notice for both CC and OC. Now you can NEVER legally enter that business armed, even if they take their signs down. (Charles was very clear on that, and since he was involved in the writing of almost every gun law on the books, I'll take his professional evaluation that verbal notice is forever.)
So, while it may gall you that businesses don't have to use proper signs, you are faced with a choice. Ignore the improper sign and risk being banned forever and possibly having the business owner post BOTH 30.07 and 30.06, ruining it for all gun carriers. Or admit the obvious fact that the business does not want open carry and CC if you need to go in, letting sleeping dogs lie.
I believe there should be a reporting procedure for improper signage, perhaps only for 30.07, that allows gun carriers to report businesses that are out of compliance. Then perhaps the law can impose a fine on a business that uses improper signage and then calls the police to enforce their desires, so that they can be given a specific amount of time to either come into compliance or remove the signs. Or they can simply pay the police every time they call them, much like the charge for false alarms on alarm systems.
