No Firearms signs in Colorado

Today I took my son to the IMAX theater on Powers in Colorado Springs and I noticed a "No Firearms" sign at the ticket window. I checked on packing.org for Colorado and can't find anything in the new laws reguarding the validity of this sort of notice. I know in other states is can be an enforceable ban to carrying. Anyone know what the law is in Colorado?
Thanks,
Steve

From the packet I received from the Jefferson County (CO) Sheriff's Department:
"Where are the carry restrictions?
"A person may not carry a concealed handgun into: a place where the carrying of firearms is prohibited by Federal law; a public building where security personnel and electronic weapons screening devices are permanently in place; or where a private property owner, private tenant, private employer, or private business entity disallow."
It doesn't specify the penalties for breaking the law.
There will be some clarification in the near future, I suspect that CO will eventually follow the lead of Texas and institute something similar to their 30.06 law.

If they see it and ask you to leave and you don't, it's trespassing.
The signs aren't new. They've been there since it was opened IIRC, and Tinseltown has been posted since hortly after it opened. I usually only go to Chapel Hills. The other multiplex that isn't posted is down on Pulsar Drive.

SB25 - the statewide preemption law that just passed - did mention signs, but only in the context that a local government entity which passes a ban on open carry in a specific area must post that area.
It does not say anything about CCW.

I don't do business with anti-Second Amendment bigots.
