The restriction in the Second Amendment is against the government. It does not restrict the People. Therefore, individuals are free to restrict your Right to carry on their property. If you are allowed to violated their property Rights without consequence in law, then the government is not doing the one most important thing it should: Protect the Rights of everyone (not the privileges of the few who manage to get the government to pass laws that that infringe in ways that that particular few like.)

Carry against the property owner's wishes should be a crime, specifically trespass, but not a gun crime.
Be a Madisonian.

It finally happened. I have now been accused on OFCC of both being a cop-hater and then a cop-lover! Therefore, anyone making either accusation must not be paying attention.

To paraphrase a certain someone...

When can me and my congregation show up at your house to worship? We have a Constitutional right to worship. Therefor you must allow us to do so.

I agree. I'm not saying property owners shouldn't be allowed to post. I'm saying that doing so shouldn't automatically be an M4 criminal charge, unless like other trespass charges a person is first asked to leave, especially when we have no standardized signage requirements and the signs can be (and often are) either small or in locations that aren't very obvious (yes they supposedly have to be in a "prominent location" but that's a pretty vague standard).

Or, make it like violating the "no smoking" signs. First violation is a warning letter. Second and subsequent violations is a $100 fine.

If someone shows up to worship on my property and I ask them to leave - they should leave. If not, I will call the police and they will be forced to leave. If they refuse to leave, they are now trespassing and will be arrested. I still have control of my property --- and the .gov will help me control it.

The .gov does not have a law in place that I am aware of that will make worshiping on my property more of a crime if I have a sign posted.

I have said before and will say again.. Private property whether business or not should not have any laws restricting the owner's right to do with the property they OWN as they see fit... No one forces anyone CHL or not to patronize said business.
"Lord, make my hand fast and accurate.
Let my aim be true and my hand faster
than those who would seek to destroy me.
Grant me victory over my foes and those who wish to do harm to me and mine.
Let not my last thought be 'If I only had my gun."
And Lord, if today is truly the day you call me home
Let me die in a pile of empty brass."
Amen

That right there is my beef on the subject. I don't see where a no guns sign should have any more wight than a no shoes, no shirt, no service sign.

I'm not sure where the automatic arrest comes from? The standards must still meet the criteria of criminal trespass. Those criteria are pretty specific with case law in that it must be obvious that a normal everyday person would know the sign exists, the place must be posted in such a manner that one cannot miss the sign at any entrance, or you must give notice first. There is no "automatic arrest" just for violating it and I've NEVER seen a case that has resulted in arrest without first being asked/told to leave and the person refuses or doesn't automatically comply.

Au contraire. We have folks here advocating for the government to force private property owners to be barred from disallowing carry on their property. That is every bit as anti-Liberty as restricting carry is.

When you advocate for the abridgment of even one specific Liberty of even just one person, you advocate for the abridgment of all Liberty.

Respectfully I disagree... under normal trespass you must first be asked to leave or otherwise informed you're not welcome. However, in the CPZ instance, knowingly violating a posted prohibition is criminal trespass.... there is no requirement that you be asked to leave first. This is a specific law, specific to concealed carry and posted prohibitions... passed after the general law of criminal trespass. A specific law passed after a general law takes precedence.

While I understand that we are not aware of any case where someone was arrested without being asked to leave first and not doing so, I still believe my reading is correct. I also realize you and others will disagree with me. It's ok... my wife disagrees with me all the time but we're not headed towards divorce. :D The bottom line is, I don't want to have to pay money to find out when that one officer decides it's enough just to see me there when I didn't actually notice the sign... I am all in favor of reducing the penalties or otherwise making it a specific part of the CPZ statute that you have to be asked to leave and refuse before you can be charged.

Where are you required to be asked to leave under normal trespass? It's not in the ORC or case law. Now, what case law does require is you have knowledge of not being welcome or knowledge being inferred.

You are still cited for criminal trespass and the complaint must have the violation of criminal trespass on it. Therefore, one must meet the elements of criminal trespass to be guilty of criminal trespass. You are not cited, arrested, or charged with 2923.126(C)(3)(a). One is arrested for 2911.21(A)(4) as 2923.126(C)(3)(a) guides them to do so.

Just thought I'd bump this. Interesting to see how our enthusiasm wanes as the House and Senate putter along and stall out during these two year legislative sessions.

I'm pretty sure that substitute Senate Bill 199 was NOT what any of us in this thread were hoping for. Geez!

Since it seems to take two years to get one of our laws passed, I woulo like to suggest now is a good time to start. I believe it was Former Navy had a bill already written up? Might be a good place to start. Or perhaps I should start a new thread for 2017-18?
