Re: Open Carry Bills 2015
I'd strongly support a 30.07 law only if it contained language that invalidated the sign if it did not meet ALL of the requirements for such signage such as wording, location, letter size, etc. With 30.06 I'd bet that those signs are violated hundreds of times a day, but no one is the wiser because the handgun is concealed. With open carry, there would be no doubt who is carrying, so an inadvertent entrance with a handgun, or an improperly worded, or displayed, or inconspicuous sign would land the violator in trouble. I suppose something like, "it is a defense to prosecution if the signage is not in compliance with ALL the requirements..." placed at the end of the statute would suffice. In fact I don't know why such verbiage is not in the 30.06 statute. It sure would avoid all the speculation as to what is or is not enforceable without a test case.
