The lesson I would take from this is to enter through the store rather than the mall entrance.
Similarly, now that you KNOW the mall is posted 30.06, you have been given effective notice.
How do I know the mall is posted? All I have is hearsay on the internet. I haven't seen any sign.
I'm not scared. I'll fight it. The law is quite clear on what constitutes effective notice. You can not be sucessfully prosecuted for something that is not a crime.
Did you guys even read the section of the statute that Dragonfighter quoted? Is there anyone on this board who is the "owner of the property or someone with apparent authority to act for the owner?" I didn't think so.
Signs can be posted and signs can also be removed.
People can be misinformed. The OP could have been mistaken about which mall it was.
There is, beleive it or not, incorrect information on the internet.
Bottom line is that notice has to be given to me personally for it to affect me. Hearsay is just that. Hearsay. I don't know a blessed thing about any 30.06 sign at the mall in question. All I know is that some guy on the internet said there is one. I don't know the guy. I've never met him. I have no way of knowing if he is telling the truth.
