If a private school decides to "opt out", do they have to post the "big ugly sign"?

I asked that question a few weeks ago, and it was never really resolved. I think HB750 would put private schools on equal footing with other private employers--they can fire you if they catch you, but you can't be charged with anything unless you've been given proper §30.06 notice.

Personally, I hope that private schools that choose to ban carry have to put up the big ugly sign. You think we can get it changed so that "contrasting colors" means it has to be in neon green on a bright pink background? Nobody will miss that.

I'd be willing to bet all of them do, with perhaps a small school or two as an exception. They can opt in now, and to my knowledge none of them have chosen to do so.

Thank you for being my ears on the video. I owe you a beer for that (or a soda if you prefer, but you probably need a beer after listening to all the John Woods clones).

GFSZA only applies to K-12 schools.

Thanks for the updates for those of us who can't listen in at school.
