Quick question here. "Private" property (malls, restaurants, large shops etc) often have these signs posted. The law states only the following as far as I know:
1) A person commits the crime of third degree criminal trespass if such person unlawfully enters or remains in or upon premises of another.
So, my question is, having a permit, does one break the law upon entering such a building? or are they only guilty of criminal trespass if they do not leave when asked to?
Reason I ask is because I get three different answers from the police depending on who I talk to:
A: You break the law if you enter such a building with a CW, permit or no permit.
B: You break the law only if authorized personnel spot the weapon and ask out to leave but you do not leave. (of course any sane person would leave if asked)
C: You can't legally concealed carry in these buildings but you should do it anyway for obvious safety reasons or shop elsewhere. (I'm not willing to do this but apparently it is a common answer some officers have given.)
Now I want to follow the law here so C is no option for me, but if B is the case then I'm going to do it every time.
