(17,865 posts)except for civil rights violations. I am not sure about the legality of a criminal trespass charge if a posted sign (no guns) is ignored though. If they have it concealed, you can't have them charged after discovery of the weapon, just the ability to trespass them (so they can be charged with criminal trespass the next time they step on your property either with or without their gun).

In some states, people are allowed to enter your property in order to retrieve game or dogs when they are hunting.
They cannot actively hunt on your property, but if their dog runs across a fence line or something, they can go there to retrieve it.
There may be other instances, but this is the one I am aware of, and it's not every state that allows it.

(453 posts)There is limits to this, like in some states the sign has to meet specific guide lines like size, and wording.
Also one limit is publicly accessible aka you can have the sign on the door and it applies inside, but the side walk for people walking by it does not apply. As for your home, you can tell any one to leave except residents.
Now the fun part, if you have a sign where allowed and someone ignores it with a gun. You can have them trespassed and even if they dont have the gun with them they cant come back, ever, and if they do you can have them arrested.

(36,340 posts)If you were actually concerned about it, you'd be looking up that info and probably already know the answer.
If it isn't a big deal to you, you won't make the effort.

(1,782 posts)property rights are clearly outlined in law and The Constitution.
Not only can someone not bring a gun on your property if you forbid it, they can't even enter your property if you prohibit it.
It is your property and your rules as long as you aren't doing something there that endangers the property or life of those around you.
