Just having a "no weapons" sign doesn't mean that you're trespassing.  It's
only if/when you refuse to leave that a trespass charge could be levelled
against you.  Unless there's a "no trespassing" sign, which I seriously doubt
at the entrance to a business.  :-)  Now if you enter private property that's
posted, =then= you're in trouble.  I don't know if the mere possession of a
weapon while trespassing will automatically up the charges/prison time down
here in AZ, though.  Possible, I guess.
