Gun folks with License or Permit?

[Julio]

Here is the scoop on stores with NO GUNS ALLOWED signs:

There is an "official" sign that store owners can put up that are binding by law. The sign usually has to be 8"x8" with a white background and a black handgun with the red circle/slash over the gun. This sign has to be posted in plain view. Later, QD.

I think thats wrong too.. If its not a business the falls under the NOT ALLOWED group.. no sign cant stop you bro... Unless the owners get anal and call the cops...

"The Act also provides the exclusive means by which private establishments may prohibit firearms on their premises. A “private establishment” is any building or structure (or portion thereof) that is owned, leased, controlled, or operated by a nongovernmental entity for a nongovernmental purpose. This likely includes most private businesses so long as they have no governmental ownership, control or purpose.

Private establishments may prohibit a permit holder and others from bringing firearms onto their premises by making a reasonable request that no one bring firearms into the establishment and, having done so, may order a violator to leave. A private establishment has made a “reasonable request” only if it has done all of the following:

1.
Posted a sign at every entrance to the establishment containing the following language:
[IDENTITY OF OPERATOR] BANS GUNS IN THESE PREMISES]
2. The sign must be readily visible and within four feet laterally of each entrance with the bottom of the sign at a height of four to six feet above the floor.
3. The lettering of the sign must be in black arial typeface at least 1½ inches in height against a bright contrasting background that is at least 187 square inches in area.
4. The requester or its agent must have personally informed the person of the posted request and demanded compliance.

A person who fails to leave after a “reasonable request” is guilty of a petty misdemeanor and subject to a fine not to exceed $25 for a first offense but may not be required to forfeit his/her firearm."

Thats pretty much same thing I said......

What this means is this : straight from Packing.org

A "No Firearms" sign on a private business does not mean anything. If your firearm is noticed, they simply ask you to leave. If the police arrive and you still refuse to leave you can be charged with criminal trespass. You keep your permit even if convicted.
