I tell you to get off my property or I will press trespass charges against you. You leave and come back 10 minutes later. Does the warning you received 10 minutes ago still apply? What if you come back 20 minutes later? How about an hour later? 5 hours? 24 hours? 2 days later? At what point are you willing to draw the line legally? Sort of like determining when life begins. Somewhere between conception and birth. Since there is no case law that I can find (which is odd since there is lots of trespassing case law) you would have to choose between one of two possibilities...one...that one notified it is permanent unless revoked in the future...or two...that there is a timed out limit to the warning. Since you can't prove #two you must assume #one.
That's why most people want to avoid being verbally told. If I were told I would later try to mitigate that with them by clarifying if they meant for just a short time or what...only to save me from a permanent ban. It probably wouldn't work but I might try.
I personally would honor any instructions that were given to me by a legal owner of a property. I am curious why so many people are seem to be bent out of shape on this forum. I must admit I am new here and found it after looking at the postings on the Tecas3006 site. It seem to me there are a lot of people here that are anti open carry. I guess I need to stop posting and read some more posts on this forum to understand it and not anger anyone.

Re: Someone placing 30.07 signs in front of businesses...
Small, undersized signs, albeit unenforceable, do have a strong deterrent effect on those of us that are legal. For instance, every Fiesta store I've seen (and I've only been to a couple) have small, undersized signs posted on their doors.TVGuy wrote:Gotcha. Frankly, after seeing what they do and from personal experience, I wouldn't put it past them to put up full sized signs.viking1000 wrote:A 3 X 5 inch index card placed on a door would not surprise me, that is all I am saying..TVGuy wrote:Not following what you're saying.viking1000 wrote:I am sure some where out there is a 3 X 5 index card attached to a business with 3007 lnfo on it.
If these businesses have surveillance cameras they should be able to spot who is placing the signs after hours.
So what happens if I walk inside while OC? I could be simply asked to leave. I could get the cops called on me. In the turmoil of either of those, the store manager may learn that they've posted incorrectly, and may revisit their posting guidelines...and choose to post 30.06 as well.
It's better for me, and for all of us, when seeing an undersized or incorrectly posted 30.07 sign, to obey it as if it were posted validly. Simply walking by an invalid 30.07 sign has a lot more implications than walking past an invalid 30.06 sign (which many of us do on a regular basis).
And back to the idea of rogue people posting these signs...I hope that someone finds the way to impose the full weight of law upon them for their actions.
