Hello all! Thanks for the add. New wear and carry permit holder here. Does anyone know if Westfield Annapolis Mall restrict firearms on their premises? Been trying to learn what businesses do and do not. Thanks.
This... Signs don't hold the force of law. If they ask you to leave, do it, or you can get trespassed.Welcome aboard!!!
Concealed means concealed
They can’t. If you leave voluntarily, you are not trespassing.They will still probably trespass you even if you agree to leave. No print, no tell
To whom is this addressed?My understanding is that a private business can choose who to do business with and who to refuse business so long as it's not based on bias against a protected class of people. Getting a criminal charge for trespass is something different.

Rbird. Being trespassed and being charged with trespass are two different things. You can't be charged with trespass without first being trespassed.To whom is this addressed?
If you leave, you're not trespassing
Has nothing to do with transacting business

If I go into Lowe's and start using profanity and saying Home Depot is better, Lowe's can trespass me from the premises if they don't want me to come back . This is not a charge. They don't have to let me back in. If I go back, I then can be charged with trespassing.

That would require the business to go to court. Thats not likely to happen as long as you are not causing a disturbance or worse.

Yes, and this is why I am careful about the "concealed is concealed" mentality. People seem to ignore the possibility of being banned.I see where the confusion is arising from semantics .
Tresspassing is a crime . that has specific legal elements .
" Tresspassing " someone as a Verb is a shorthand expression sometimes used by LE or the Retail Industry . What that context means is " Give a formal notice from owner or other person of authority to a Person that they are requested to leave premesis , and ( usually) to not return .
IF said person so notified then does actually depart ( or not return if so notified) , then no crime is committed .
