But was the sign posted in a conspicuous location? If not it really has no effect.Berettas4me wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 1:05 pm Meijer over here had the NO GUNS sign for a while starting later last year 2022.
At some point over that time the Hilliard Rome store at least replaced it with a 'open carry prohibited' sign...
Black's Law Dictionary:
"Conspicuous place". Within the meaning of a statute relating to the posting of notices, a "conspicuous place" means one which is reasonably calculated to impart the information in question."
The term "conspicuous place" means that a reasonable person against whom it is to operate ought to have noticed it.
At the Meijer near where I live the little sticker is on a side window and buried among many other stickers. It is not conspicuous. It does not meet the terms of the statute. And without the sign being conspicuous, trespass cannot arise. I'm speaking from experience.
