Third District Judge Royal Hansen also ordered Schanze, 36, to provide proof he had completed a class designed to correct "thinking errors."
Defense attorney Michael Bassett claimed Schanze had already completed a so-called "cognitive restructuring" class as part of his recent sentencing for buzzing Interstate 15 near Draper in his paraglider in May. The judge said he wanted to see the Draper court paperwork.
Prosecutor Christopher Bown had asked the judge to send Schanze to jail for two days because of his "attitude problems."
Schanze, Bown said, "doesn't feel he is subject to the same rules as the rest of us." He said Schanze had used the media to "mock" the justice system and the jury, which in May acquitted him of a class A misdemeanor gun brandishing charge.
Bown claimed Schanze committed several thinking errors during the brandishing episode, including inappropriate interaction with police officers.
"When talking to the police, you either invoked your rights [against self-incrimination] or you tell the truth," Bown said.
Schanze allegedly pulled a 10mm Glock from his pocket after three angry residents confronted him about speeding through their neighborhood on May 21, 2005.
Later, when writing a statement for police, Schanze claimed he pulled a cell phone from his pocket, but omitted any mention of a gun. The jury convicted him of writing a false statement, a class B misdemeanor punishable by up to 6 months in jail.
Prior to the start of the trial, Schanze pleaded guilty to speeding 50 mph in a 25-mph zone, a class C misdemeanor.
On Wednesday, Judge Hansen suspended the potential jail term on the false statement conviction.
But Hansen warned that "180 days are waiting, if you don't follow through" with the probation requirements, which include no new violations of the law.
After the hearing, Schanze remained adamant that he never lied to police.
He said his failure to mention the gun in the police report was "irrelevant" because he had the legal right to possess and use the weapon to protect himself and his 8-year-old daughter.
According to trial testimony, one of the residents picked up a rock and threatened to break the tail lights on Schanze's black Jaguar.
After Wednesday's sentencing, Schanze said the judge had opted to be "politically correct," rather than "standing up and saying, 'This is bullcrap.' "
Schanze called the prosecutor "a loser" for charging him with crimes he didn't commit.
"Maybe I'll get killed and be charged with illegal bleeding," Schanze quipped.
Schanze insisted that by having a gun - which he claims he held behind his back and never pointed - he prevented anyone being injured that day. Without the gun, he said, there would have been a fight and, because he is has black belt in karate, "two guys would have been killed."
"Of course I had a gun that day," he added. "All responsible citizens should carry a gun" to avoid becoming crime victims.
Schanze also delivered his usual rant against the news media, claiming biased reports about the gun brandishing incident destroyed his multimillion-dollar Totally Awesome computer business.
Asked what he had learned from the court experience, Schanze replied: "I've learned the extent of how evil you [reporters] are."
