Even after making a reasonable request that guns not be brought onto the premises, and even if that request complies precisely with the terms of the statute, the owner or operator of a private establishment must also order a person who refuses to comply to leave the premises, before that person can be prosecuted for petty misdemeanor trespass. Minn. Stat. § 624.714, subd. 17(a). In addition, the gun possessed by the trespasser is not subject to forfeiture. Id.; cf. Minn. Stat. § 609.531, subds. 1(b), 4 (2006) (weapons subject to forfeiture)
Screw that sign... Concealed means concealed.
Not to mention, MOA doesn’t say in its sign WHAT law they claim they are using. That sign was written by an idiot liberal that doesn’t know the law. I suspect if a shooting happens there will be lawsuits based on that sign.
