If it is truly improperly posted, size or location or other, I suspect the worst would be a ride downtown and some legal/lawyering fees.

The grey area would be the degree to which it was invalid. If it is contrasting colors, an inch high, etc, etc but not placed well on the entrances, maybe you have to go to trial if you want to beat the misdemeanor charge (probably an expensive endeavor). I suspect the same for a sign prominently posted but slightly smaller letters or not as contrasting text as you think it should be. Defining letters an inch high is easy. Defining contrasting colors might be a new boat payment for the lawyers on each side. If it is a tiny sign that wasn't very prominent, maybe you don't even have to take the ride.

If you see it, invalid or not, I would encourage you to at a minimum not OC. I carry CC past invalid '06 signs all the time. OCing past an invalid '07 sign or even an invalid gun buster sign is likely to get you presented with a "no guns" verbal notification.

Thank you Sir/MAM for your response. You gave me the answer I was looking for.

Improper signs and results

I see alot of posting about improper signs. But can someone answer this for me and before I begin I want to add I am not one for breaking the law. So I will comply to any sign that is up. If the location is improperly posted. What legal troubles can you get into if you enter? Should the improper sign be consider as I have been notified?
