Re: Travel thru Denver & CO in general

One of the guys was escorted off property by LE and was told next time he enters while CC he would be arrested. After talking with other businesses in Grand Junction, most said that it was the owner choice to have a patron arrested if they had any notice of no guns allowed. The store owner told LE that he saw the IWB metal clips on his belt.

Here is what handgunlaw.us says:
Do “No Gun Signs” Have the Force of Law?
“YES”
After discussions with a Practicing Attorney in Colorado I have changed it to Yes that Gun Signs do have the
force of law. In many cases the person is just ask to leave and nothing happens. In instances where an Officer
is summoned it depends on the Officer. But you can be charged with Trespassing if the Officer believes it is
necessary and the owner wishes you to be charged. Any escalation of the situation on your part like not
leaving immediately if ask or giving the Owner or Officer a hard time you could also be charged with
menacing. The Attorney I talked to is a Defense Attorney and has had such cases.
This may all be dependent on the person carrying being asked to leave and deciding not to, for whatever reason.

If caught carrying, most businesses will just ask you to leave. There are a few, however, that will call LE. Then it's up to the officer to let you go with a waning or to give you a free ride to the station.
This is incorrect. It has been discussed before because of the Aurora shooting and here is the first example I could find.
