here they sent out a sheet of paper reinforcing what is taught in the classes... if you enter a building marked with the picture of a gun with a slash through it and you have your pistol with you, you are committing a Misdemeanor of Class B. This is the same as a drunk driving offense.
Now, if you're doing this at your local car lot that's one thing and a city building another. I think, in most cases, an employee at the car lot would just tell you no, leave. I went to a car lot (Davis Moore Nissan) recently and entered through a side entrance...there was no sign on the door. I then talked to a salesman for a while before they wanted to appraise my car for trade in. I went out to the car to pocket my valuables like the radar detector. I then came back to the building and saw the signs on the front entrance. I then spoke to the salesman about my dilemma...he said "no big deal, just leave your gun in your car." I replied "f&^% you. I want a manager, now." The manager came over and stated that the signs were not posted on side entrances by accident and they would fix the error. I told him that I will not be a criminal and A) leave my gun in a vehicle in open access, especially since they're going to look around in there for the appraisal and B) can't enter the building because it's a misdemeanor to do so with my pistol. He told me to simply "leave my gun in the car, and their staff will not touch it." This, again, is a crime in my state as I'm leaving it without any locking barrier between the appraiser and the firearm while it is not on my person.
I had already negotiated a very good deal on my Truck before this all happened, but I really should have walked out. I feel pretty bad for having supported those anti-gun nut suckers. I stood outside, in the cold, with my Springfield 1911 tucked neatly in it's concealed holster and waited patiently for my vehicle to return half an hour later where I dropped my pistol off in the glove box and finished the deal. I later informed the manager that I would be writing a complaint letter to the owner of the car lot about the situation that this policy puts CCW holders. The salesman, wiseass, said 'well your new truck has a valet key, so you could lock it up in glove box and this wouldn't be a problem at all'. Now I see why they have a no-gun policy, there employee's aren't smart enough to be trusted with a firearm.
