25E Defence against prosecution
It is a defence to a prosecution for an offence against section 25C,

he was on a public road or was otherwise authorized to be in
the sanctuary and that the firearm or trap was not used by him
while he was in the area; or
(b) that there was not on the road by which he entered the
sanctuary the sign required to be displayed there by

suspect that he was on a sanctuary.
