On Handgunlaw.us I noticed a section that says in Indiana, "'No Guns' signs carry the force of law" where criminal trespass is concerned.
They cite this code:
IC 35-43-2-2 Criminal Trespass; Denial of Entry; Permission to Enter; Exceptions
(b) A person has been denied entry under subdivision (a)(1) of this section when the person has been denied entry by means of:
(1) personal communication, oral or written;
(2) posting or exhibiting a notice at the main entrance in a manner that is either prescribed by law or likely to come to the attention of the public; or
(3) a hearing authority or court order under IC 32-30-6, IC 32-30-7, IC 32-30-8, IC 36-7-9, or IC 36-7-36.
I've always been under the impression that signs really don't mean much where the law is concerned (that they are merely a company policy), but that if a manager or proprietor asks me to leave, I would have to refuse in order to be guilty of trespassing.
Can someone describe to me what this law is saying?
