in texas you have committed misdemeanor trespassing by passing a sign. Its no joke there. The fines are not big 200, but you do lose your chl, which is a big deal. Like it or not it is a law that is fair to both sides.
Exactly like Minnesota, only with a slightly larger fine. However, read the law, if you leave when they ask there is no crime.
I will continue to shop at some stores that post, but if I am ever pushed, like Applebee's did one day, I will never go back and my entire world will know the wrong committed by the business.
Your stance also brings back the point that many have promised: If we are ever in a business where arms are banned, and there is an attack, and we are harmed in any way, there will be a multi-million dollar lawsuit against that store for stripping our rights and allowing us to be harmed.
By the way TAB, how do you justify in your head the support of laws that do not allow stripping of rights from some people, but then support laws like 30.06 that strips rights from law abiding citizens?
