I have a CC permit.
As I understand Paragraph 13 of Section 45-9-101, the notice that carrying a firearm is prohibited must be readable from at least 10 feet AND say "carrying of a pistol or revolver is prohibited."
How literal is this to be taken? I assume that the quotes indicate EXACTLY what the notice must say. If a business owner posts a sign that has a handgun with a red slash through it, is it enforceable? What if the local mall has a sign posted INSIDE ONE of the 20 entrances to the mall that says, "No weapons or firearms allowed." Is that in compliance with the Code?
Further, I have been searched (metal detector) at an entry to a venue and it was revealed that I had a concealed weapon. I had to return it to my vehicle before I was allowed entry. At no door to the building was there a sign indicating that "carrying of a pistol or revolver is prohibited."
Am I not legally exercising a privilege? I am complying with everything in the Code. At each instance, I complied fully with the property owner and returned my weapon.
What are your thoughts on this?
Just trying to carry where ever possible and in a fully LEGAL manner.
