I'm still confused. For the purpose of trespassing, what's the legal difference between a "No Soliciting" sign and a "No Guns" sign?Pawpaw wrote:No, I am simply pointing out that a "No <insert object here> allowed" sign does not automatically have the force of law. It is simply the property owner expressing their wishes, with no law to back it up.apostate wrote:Now I'm confused.Pawpaw wrote:Where does that sign give notice that entry is forbidden? Here's a hint... It doesn't. The section you quoted deals with trespass, not weapons.
Now you're welcome.
By extension, you seem to be saying that someone who violates a "No Soliciting" sign is not trespassing, because the sign doesn't give notice that entry is forbidden.
Assuming we're talking about people without some exemption (let's not muddy the waters unnecessarily) it seems the property owner's wishes are a key component of effective consent.
