I OFTEN remember what our own all wise Charles Cotton said about being a test case.
"Those on the cutting edge of law usually bleed to death financially."

This cuts both ways.

Sooner or later there will be a workplace shooting where a firm has banned CHL on their property.

This will open the firm to being sued for creating the conditions that led to the shooting by not allowing people to defend themselves.

This will go to trial and a jury will side with the families of the deceased.

The insurance costs will rise for firms that post signs due not only to the legal liability, but also to the acturarial analyses.

Actually it has already happened, it was at NASA in Houston recently.

Are the letters at least 1" high? I can imagine it would be difficult to notice while driving.

I knew it wouldn't be long for someone to chime in with letters appear to be to small, or missing the I, or some other ridiculous observation of the sign. Simple fact is if you want to be a test case go right ahead and ignore the sign. I just hope you have plenty of money because that is what it is going to take to defend youself, if you get caught.

IMHO if you are caught and a LEO is called out he or she is not going to measure the sign to see if it is compliant, they will let a criminal court decide that aspect of it. Hey you might win the case and the only thing that will happen is you will lose your job and some legal fees. The fact is YOU WILL lose your job if caught, even if you are succesful in defending yourself against the criminal charge. Another thing to consider is that you will be fighting the criminal charge while unemployed.

Its not worth it to me to be the test case, but for all those who are just dying to prove themselves right about the little inconsistancies in these signs, good luck.
