Posted "No weapons"

[RedRyder]

That pisses me off and they basically stripped her of her rights to self protecton both to and from home every day since they won't allow weapons even locked up in her vehicle as they are considering this school board property.
To me should a violent attach happen due to this policy I see a very large law siut in the making in the future. Any comments....?

I agree DKD. Lawsuit waiting to happen. My wife is teacher in middle school and last week they had a three hour lockdown because one of the kids told another teacher that "someone' had a gun at school. Sure nuff after a couple of hours they found a pellet pistol in one of the kids backpacks. When I go to her school, I leave my piece in vehicle but always feel naked with some of the wannabe gang bangers around. It's sure tuff being a teacher in todays world and you've got to do it unarmed. There has been talk of having certain well qualified teachers allowed to carry concealed but I doubt that will ever happen.

Florida is fairly non restrictive for the most part, however we can not carry any weapons onto school ground property. Unfortunately for my wife who works for the local school board but not any any school proper is prohibited from carrying at the Dept. of Transportation. That pisses me off and they basically stripped her of her rights to self protecton both to and from home every day since they won't allow weapons even locked up in her vehicle as they are considering this school board property.

Even as schools continue to be the preferred slaughterhouse,
I just don't see it happening.

If it's not a state building or other off limit building, I take my .44 snubby with the Barami Hip Grip handle and place it at 12:00 and go right in. They can frisk me and unless they pat down a place that will get them punched, they'll never know.

Courthouses, Federal Bldgs, Airport Terminals & Casinos are off limits in Oregon, and I obey the law concerning these 4 places. Otherwise, I ignore the "No Weapons Allowed" sign & enter, or I find another establishment close by that isn't so blatantly Anti-2A. I usually enter, since my CHL means Concealed! Funny thing, I would suggest it's these very business owners who don't know what to look for anyway, and believe people will just lay down their weapons because the sign says so! I don't worry!

same thing here in Indiana besides schools ..

Here in OK those signs do not apply to LEO's so I carry anyway.

If shopping I take my business elsewhere and don't go back if somewhere I must go unless I am in a state where the sign carries the weight of the law I did not see it.

[Klascojoe]

If it is somewhere I HAVE to go

I leave it in the car. My kids school, a courthouse, some jobsites. There is a pizza joint where I live that I have eaten at for years. Several months back I went for lunch to be greeted by a brand new "No Weapons" sign. I turned around and ate somewhere else. Have not been back since. I wont go where I am not wanted.

What do you do if you carry to an event, and you arrive at the door or gate or entrance, and it's posted "no weapons" or "no guns allowed"? Obviously I'm not talking about a federal building, but a game, or concert, or conference center or gun show, or even a school. What do you do?

Carry it in anyway or walk back to the car and stow it away? Just curious what peoples' practices are here.

If it is not legally posted for CHL holders, we carry.

I guess it depends. Some places I will avoid, some places I leave it home or in the car. Most places I ignore the sign and try to keep it covered.

One local pawn shop has a sign.. I'm pretty sure they know I am carrying but they don't say anything and I keep it covered. The other one doesn't mind so long as you leave it holstered (son and I occasionally open carry there).

Range we use has a sign.. we tend to ignore it and keep it covered.

Only place I have been hassled about open carry was Wal Mart on one occasion some clerk had no real clue. Most of them laugh when I joke about them carrying a firearm out the door for someone who is armed...

Ok, I'm going to have to be specific here.
In Florida I'm not allowed to carry at a sporting event or on school grounds.
This is stated in the statues involved with legal concealed carry.
I do not knowingly break these rules.

Now if a store has a no weapons sign.
That's store policy and not a law.
It's not illegal to carry in the store and I do.
If found out they can demand I leave and I will.
But as long as I leave when asked it's still not a crime.

In Indiana signs DO NOT carry the weight of law, so as long as it is not a place which is statutorily illegal to carry (ie. school) or which has a metal detector I go ahead and carry unless and/or until they specifically ask me to leave.

[Planedude]

In Texas we have a legal signage that the place of business must post to be "gun free".
It must say this exactly:
"PURSUANT TO SECTION 30.06, PENAL CODE (TRESPASS BY HOLDER OF A LICENSE TO CARRY A CONCEALED HANDGUN) A PERSON LICENSED UNDER SUBCHAPTER H, CHAPTER 411, GOVERNMENT CODE (CONCEALED HANDGUN LAW), MAY NOT ENTER THIS PROPERTY WITH A CONCEALED HANDGUN." (then repeated in spanish)
Courthouses and Hospitals here are all posted this way. One business I have found locally posting correctly is a Jareds Jelwery store. Others stores I shop in sometimes have signage that is laughably out of spec and I just carry right past it. That said I would leave directly if asked by the store manager. I would be embarrassed that anyone saw my "concealed" handgun. Most likely I would not shop at said store again as enforcement shows intent to me. Many times such a useless posting may be dictated by some (out of state) corperate dictum and may not be the ideal of the local staff.
Interestinglly enough, the local major gun show I was at this weekend was posted this way. I was there four hours and two annoucements were made on the PA reminding the crowd of the rule. I was told before that this was to prevent ADs as folks passed around handguns. There is a bit of history at Texas gun shows on that point... sad to say.
I try and be a grown up about my CHL. If I carry by choice, other will fear guns by choice. Dumb choice, but they have that right. They just need to be equally respectful of my rights and that seems to be their problem.
Have a good one.

Indiana resident here schools and metal detectors are all that stop me.

Mudcat, the way the law is written here it appears that I can carry into the school when picking up or dropping off. Tho I generally leave it in the car there.
