I've been trying to figure this out for a while, and I'm having trouble finding laws that directly address it, so hopefully I'll get some help and some citations on the laws here!
Basically, owners of a private establishment have a right to ask you to leave when you open carry (or any carry for that matter). It's their property, and while I find them ignorant, it is their right and I'll abide by it.
However, at most businesses the people that you see/interact with are NOT the owners. Of course if it is marked no weapons that is simple, the ownership has spoken. Same if there is a company policy written out somewhere. But most the time that is not the case, so I am speaking about times where an employee or manager sees your carry and wants you to leave?
I could see an average employee's order to leave meaning nothing. It's not
their private property, why would their opinion on my carrying matter? I could see a manager's order meaning the same...however I'm not sure on them, since they may legally have the authority of the owner when they order it...I don't know.
So that's what I'd like to know, who (other than the private property owners themselves) has authority to make me leave? Anyone know?
I can speculate on my own, I'm hoping someone might actually have a bit more concrete knowledge about the law on the subject, so if anyone can cite some laws on it that would be fantastic. Thanks
