There is a common understanding - or misunderstanding - that if a private property owner such as a business posts a 30.06 or 30.07, that if that sign doesn't meet the 1" requirement it is not considered valid and can be legally ignored.
I ate at Cherry Creek Catfish today and they have a 30.07 sheet of paper with about 3/4" letters printed on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper.
I was carrying concealed, but I was curious and sought out the statute to read for myself.
In the paragraph that defines what "written communication" means, it says that the notice can be on a card or document that has the exact wording *OR* a sign with a minimum 1" letter height.
It is the word "or" at the end of paragraph A that bugs me in Section 30.06 (and same in 30.07). Is a document with the correct wording that is taped to a window a document or a sign? If it is document, then the size doesn't matter. I don't want my freedom to hinge on an officer's interpretation of what the word "or" there means!
