prosecution over impromper 30.06 postings
So i've been seeing various posts about 30.06 signs that don't fit the definition laid out in the books.
How much leeway do nonconforming posts give you in a defense if something happens and you end up in court over it. I'm not saying there's a shooting but lets just say an employee notices you printing, he tells a cop who then confronts you, asks for ID and you hand over your CHL and then disclose you're carrying. Maybe the cop is a rookie and not the clearest on the laws regarding this so he arrests you and you're charged w/ carrying in a 30.06 establishment.
You get in front of the judge, he asks if you saw their sign. You respond along the lines "Yeah I saw their sign, knew what their intentions were and they didn't want me carrying on their property. however I also noticed the sign was a couple inches too small so I flat out ignored it."
Are you likely to then win your defense?
[Edit: yeah i know "are you likely to win your defense" is something best discussed w/ legal counsel and I know most here aren't so I'm just looking for thoughts on the subject]
