I get the right of property owners to have some degree of control over who is on their property.

However, I think facing a year in jail and a $4,000 fine for walking into Whole Foods is ridiculous. Absolutely stunning overkill.

I know of other states where a police officer has to personally see a misdemeanor (with a few exceptions) and the trespassing past a gun sign has to be "knowingly". What happens in actual practice is a police officer needs to witness the business representative asking the armed trespasser to leave and witness persistent refusal to do so. I could see a Class A in those circumstances.

However, just walking along and get ambushed by being arrested over a sign that you may or may not have seen? No thanks. Ask them to leave. If they leave immediately, it should be "no harm, no foul".
