I had called and asked one of the officers in the CHP department about the signage issue, a couple days ago, because I was uncertain, and it came up in a conversation with someone who has already taken their CHP course (I haven't)
It's basically -your- responsibility with full onus on YOU to know whether or not that property owner allows handguns on their premise BEFORE you enter the property. No sign required, nothing at all.
Isn't that a bit messed up? How is one to know before entering the property? The way the law goes, it would appear we are required to contact the owner of every location we wish to visit, if we're to remain in the clear.
I wish that they would make it more like Texas and require a "30.06" sign.
No sign = carry, unless you are told otherwise (excluding the obvious).
It is private property. If a store finds that you have a gun and they do not like it (but they also do not have a sign posted), and they ask you to leave, then you must leave. If you fail to leave, then you face changes Not for carrying a gun, but for remaining after being forbidden or trespassing.
