I CCd as there were no signs on any buildings or doors or at all that I could see.

However, the next day I notice this school has 4-5 signs posted outside, alongside some (not all, as I didn't pass any the night before) roads that lead onto the campus. You can't really read these signs at normal traffic speeds, and they are so remotely located they don't easily indicate a specific building.

Do we have any case law or incidents regarding signs like this? I know now the school has opted-out, but they are still required to follow the statutes regarding sign placement, wording, and size don't they?
I am quite sure I know the University and the event. The signs by the entrances (but not all the entrances) effectively make the whole campus off limits. The signs are of legal dimensions but you are correct, they would be hard to spot or read while driving. You can still keep your gun in your vehicle as that falls under the MPA. Now if you walked onto campus or entered where there was no sign then you could argue that effective notice was not given.
Yea I won't in the future I guess but I didn't even pass a sign that night, because I parked at a church across the street through their parking lot entrance, and didn't even pass one of the signs.
I know where you are talking about because I've used that church parking lot, too. I've played Tuba Christmas there in the past but have decided to skip it this year because the signs exist. I was unarmed the last time because it was before Campus Carry. They've told me I'm not welcome on their campus and I'll honor that.
