Not really. They do not get 51% of their income from the sale of alcoholic beverages for on premises consumption. So, they are basically invalid on that premise. But, there is still a law requiring the hospitals to post the same wording as the 51% sign without the red 51 on it. The problem is the law saying this is a valid sign is no longer valid.

We have an interesting problem now with conflicting laws. The old law made the hospital off limits and required the notice. The new law says the hospital is not off limits unless it is posted with a 30.06 sign. The only case which would be 100% sure is if a hospital posted both signs. I find it ludicrous that the law could possibly intend for the posting of two signs. This leads me to think the newer law requiring the 30.06 posting would be the only valid one, but I have previously posted that other cops and DA's and judges might think either sign is valid warning under the law. I can see their logic also. It is going to take a volunteer to be charged and fight it to the appeals court level to get a case law precedent on what is actually required at a hospital.

I don't believe they are.
Don't have time to look it up, and post the relevant law, but basically the law clearly states that a 30.06 needs to be post.

I think you are refering to an obsolete law. The 51% sign in itself has no legal weight for us CHL holders.

The scary thing about that story is that he didn't hit the bad guy.

I or someone I care about might just be walking by one of those stores when the owner opens up. If his bullets aren't hitting the BG ... where are they going ?

Not valid in the sense that they mean anything to CHL'ers,because they don't (at least none that I've ever seen) conform to 30.06 requirements, but hospitals are apparently required to post them. It apparently stems from the time when hospitals were off-limits without having to post 30.06, IIRC.

ETA: Wow. Beaten to the punch by two others and a third comment slipped in for good measure. I must be really slow today!

Further ETA: Nope. I was silly enough to overlook the next button at the bottom of the page. Oops.

he was kinda far away. and I think this goes to the ol' rule that says something to the effect of "Know your target and what's beyond it..." or sumpin' like that.
anyway, maybe this guy could tell his bullets wouldn't do any damage if he missed, or maybe he didn't think of it. either way, we'll never know.
as a side note, I like how the article mentioned he was a trained marksmen, or something to that effect.
apparently not!

I agree, Bart really created a lot of facets through his statement there...
