Small win! Local library no longer properly posted!

[ForumSurfer]

And maybe because of a slip-up by the signage in the library you end up in legal trouble and possibably get convicted, and loose your rights for life. After all no one can predict how a jury will deside a verdict.

That's a complete non-issue. If the poster follows the letter of the law, then he has no worries. Concealed means concealed. Unless he needs to use it, no one should know he has it.

It isn't a victory. It is simply s slip up on the part of management.

That being said, I don't see where there is room for discussion on this? We follow the law and carry everywhere we are allowed should we so choose. The location is either properly posted or it isn't. If a location isn't properly posted, I'm not going to disarm. It isn't "proving a point." It is me exercising my right to carry. It isn't my fault they improperly executed their right to disallow me exercising my right to carry on their property.

...as long as you're flaunting the law.

Not sure if this is what you meant, but in this case flaunting the law would be perfectly appropriate.

Flaunt: 1. Display (something) ostentatiously, esp. in order to provoke envy or admiration or to show defiance

He could flaunt the law to any officer who attempted to give him a hard time for his legal act.

Now, if you meant flout (i.e.: "Openly disregard a rule, law or convention") then he can't be doing that if he's not actually breaking any law.

It all depends on what the law actually says. If the applicable law says that failure to post proper signage means there is no prohibition, then the OP is fine. That's how it would come out in Texas. You are not required to pay attention to any sign other than the proper sign, as specified in the statute. If, however, the law simply says that certain things should be done, but does not condition enforcement on satisfaction of those things, then the OP could have some issues. My guess is he's just fine.

If perchance something on this order would get to a jury trial who knows what way it would go in todays world. One only has to remember some idiot dropping hot coffee on herself at Miky'D's and remember what the jury awarded the idiot.

I don't go along with it but the fact is this is todays world. Remember an asprin is considered a drug in most high schools.

The principal may be on your/our side but it'll cost a bundle to prove the principal, if in fact you even win.

Ok, library staff notice he is carrying, call LE, they confirm he is within legal right and then the library puts up a sign that does carry the weight of law. Victory? Step on the lines where they matter IMHO.
