[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1148600, member: 14668"] Trespassing [I]is[/I] unlawful. However, a non-gated parking lot is an open and accessable area to the public and you are not commiting a crime simply by being there outside of posted hours. The crime happens when you are there and are instructed to leave and you refuse to do so. The bottom line is, the company is certainly free to put up "no weapons allowed" signs anywhere they want to on their property, just like they are allowed to put up "no farting allowed" signs anywhere they want to on their property. In both cases, they are attempting to prohibit [B]what is otherwise a lawful activity[/B], and in both cases their ability to [I]enforce[/I] these prohibitions is limited to asking offenders to leave under threat of a trespassing charge.
