I'd walk right on in.

I'd probably never see the sign, because I won't look for it. I never look for 30.06 signs. The law clearly states that the 30.06 posting must be conspicuous and the way I see it, if I have to go on an Easter egg hunt to find the sign it is hardly "conspicuous."

Now, I know some of you are going to object that I am deliberately breaking the law because I have been made aware of the sign. But, let me tell you something, "some guy on the internet said..." is what is known in the courts as "hearsay." Hearsay is not admissible as evidence.

The burden is on the State to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that I was given effective notice before I can be convicted of a crime in this matter.

As far as all you "well, you might beat the rap, but you won't beat the ride" naysayers out there, what is really going to happen is either of three things:

1) Nothing. Because concealed is concealed and I am the only person in this world who is going to know I am carrying and no one else is going to be any the wiser.

Or, if I were to somehow get outed,

2) Someone from the mall management or security will approach me and either then give me effective notice or ask me to leave, at which time I will politely apologize and accede to their wishes by taking myself and my money elsewhere.

or

3) Someone will call the police, who will arrive and ask me to leave, at which time I will politely apologize and accede to their wishes by taking myself and my money elsewhere.
