First introduction:
I am new to the group. I have been lurking but this is my first post. I am a pistol instructor, NRA Member, and have a NM CCW. My primary handgun is a Glock 23. ExUSAF.
My question:
In NM a property owner may disallow carry on their property. I understand that this can potentially lead to trespass.
Does an owner/agent have to ask you to leave if you are discovered carrying?
I am confused about the consequences of not abiding by to an owner’s wishes, intentional or not. I am sure ignoring a verbal command to leave is trespass, but what about ignoring or ignorance of a sign? When does carrying on private property become a criminal or civil issue?
Is it a civil, misdemeanor or a felony?
I appreciate any comments and discussion.
