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.
