Well I admit I don't OC that much, but it's not because I'm worried about breaking the law, but mainly don't want to explain myself at times...and others don't want to be asked to leave by a property owner that was to lazy to post but is still an anti-.
There basically only 5 places that it is illegal for someone with a HCP to carry.
1.) Places that serve alcohol for onsite consumption. (39-17-1305)
2.) Any room where a judicial proceeding is taking place. (39-17-1306)
3.) Schools. (39-17-1309)(Can be left in car (39-17-1309(c)(1){Second half})or even left on your person if you are not getting out and simply picking up or dropping of passengers. (39-17-1310))
4.) Any publicly owned playground, park, civic center or other recreational property or buildings. (39-17-1311)
5.) Any place with a properly posted sign per 39-17-1359.
Now some places may have a no carry policy or non-compliant signs, but that doesn't make it illegal to carry there only against their polciy. Now you may be asked to leave and if you don't leave once told to you may be charged with trespassing.
The last sentence is another reason I don't often OC, according to the AG (Opinion 07-148)a property owner can effectively ban you from now on if you armed by simply saying "I don't want you to ever carry a handgun in here." (Or some similar phrase). So then even at some point in the future...even if they never post a proper sign you could still be charged with trespassing if you returned armed. So in a small town you could run out of places to grocery shop quick...lol
