 That's another problem.  If there is a sign and you don't see it, you
 could be arguing about that while your lawyer gets a couple of hundred
 dollars an hour!
 LK> If an establishment's =unposted=, the staff

 and if you're carrying concealed, they probably won't ask.  Fanny
 packs are pretty obvious but I've *never* heard a word about mine, I
 suspect the store only cares about customers who might become nervous,
 they don't care whether you're armed or not.  In my own opinion, this
 is a very real concern.  I wouldn't want anybody leaving my store
 without buying because another customer made them uncomfortable
 shopping there.
 DRN>  You're right about criminal trespass, see ARS 13-1502, A.
 DRN>  1.
 LK> They can nail you on this only if you refuse to leave.
 Or if you enter in spite of the sign.  As I said, if you don't see the
 sign, there could be a problem.  The sign is the same as being
 requested to leave, entering anyway puts you in violation.
