I've been OCing for about a month now but a recent thread made me think about something and I wanted to get other people's opinions. On checking weapons:
What is a reasonable request? In my opinion a simple no weapons sign is NOT a reasonable request. That is an illegal sign. I am unsure about a sign that would read something like "please check weapons at desk" or something of that nature. I have heard that signs at a business saying "no firearms" is not enough, that they must ask you to leave before you can be charged with tresspass, and I wonder if it's the same case with this. Is a sign enough for them to charge you with Misconduct if you don't follow the sign, or must they verbally request that you check your weapon?
Of course they still must be able to provide the storage.
