Tell you what... I suggest that a good way to test your position is go OC in a store that is posted "no firearms allowed" (or words to that effect), get trespassed by the store manager who says "leave the store now, you're trespassed" then simply stay put. After the police process you and book you into jail, call me and let me know how your theory worked out. Maybe you're right!
The argument is not whether or not one can stay after being verbally told to leave. I think everyone agrees that you must obey a verbal order to leave private property.
HOWEVER, this debate is whether or not carrying past a "no guns" sign, by itself, in the state of Washington, constitutes grounds for a trespassing charge. I have not seen a cite saying that doing so is illegal, so therefore, it must be legal. If you are told to leave, you must leave, for whatever reason.
