Let's stop perpetuating the signs have force of law myth, shall we?

I'm kind of mixed on my thoughts about the shooting.Self defense or not. My understanding is that Penn Square is a “NO GUN” zone. He will get the book thrown at him for having the gun in the first place.
Well, the "No Gun" zone and getting the book thrown at him for that is something I would like to know more about.Self defense or not. My understanding is that Penn Square is a “NO GUN” zone. He will get the book thrown at him for having the gun in the first place.
FIFY.

And we are adding to that here. The actual facts haven't been made public yet, so while we all enjoy debating the unknowns, we're just shooting blanks.
I'm not sure of your edit to the other poster's comment. If I understand things right, a ticket is issued by a law enforcement officer. What you have quoted above from the statutes refers to both time in jail and a "fine." Time in jail and "fines" are dispositions made to a case by a judge. For a judge to issue such a disposition means that the perpetrator was arrested, charged with a crime, and after being found/or pleading guilty in court, said perpetrator is then assessed the fine and time.
