"no guns" signs?

[mr_dove]

Is it a crime in Colorado to enter a private business that is posted "no firearms" (or similar sign) while you are carrying?

In some states it is a crime to enter and some states you can be guilty of tresspassing only after being asked to leave and refusing.

My understanding of the law is that if you enter a private business with a no guns sign you are not breaking any law. If for some reason the business became aware that you were carrying a gun and asked you to leave, as long as you leave no law is broken. If you do not leave then you could be arrested and cited for trespassing, just like anyone else they asked to leave for whatever reason could be arrested if they refused.

But I'm not a lawyer, and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

That's also my understanding, but IANAL.

I agree with rtr.

I would just say that I didn't have my "reading" glasses on when I entered.

I recently went into a UMB bank on East Colfax. They have a sign up in the door. I think that's a good idea because if any evil dooer tries to rob the bank he won't be allowed to bring his gun in. If he does bring one, he'll have to leave when they say "please". Much safer this way.

What do you bet if you saved some lives during a robbery when you "accidentally" brought yours in that they would still prosecute you for trespassing

a tresspassing charge is easier for me to deal with than death.
