I have a CC question

It was my understanding that MN law requires or establishes that a business that “bans guns” must have it posted at the exterior entrance with a specific location in relation to the door with certain size lettering and language. Has this law changed? I was at a very prominent mall location today and remember once that they had all the entryways signed. Today they I didnt see the signs at the doors but saw one on the interior of the Mall not in the store? I entered the mall through a store and not the mall entrance. Can somebody enlighten me on the change if there is one? Oh…and the interior sign was on an “A” frame sign.
Thanks in advance…

Call up your local PD/sheriff office and ask. They will let you know if your area has any special regulations on it.

(1) “Reasonable request” means a request made under the following circumstances:
(i) the requester has prominently posted a conspicuous sign at every entrance to the establishment containing the following language: “(INDICATE IDENTITY OF OPERATOR) BANS GUNS IN THESE PREMISES.”; or
(ii) the requester or the requester’s agent personally informs the person that guns are prohibited in the premises and demands compliance.

If it’s not at the entrance, I don’t see those signs…and if I would happen to see on..I would think the business was selling them.

Clarence, there have been a number of businesses in the metro area that post “no guns” sign in the wrong locations or have the wrong verbiage on purpose.

The know the people that have taken the training know it’s wrong and won’t abide by it and it give the anti’s the warm fuzzy feeling the area is gun free.

Here’s the Statute I was looking for:

Notwithstanding section 609.531, a firearm carried in violation of this subdivision is not subject to forfeiture.

Thats what I was looking for…Like I said it was inside the mall no where near and entrance, what a reasonable person would consider a door and it was the only one I saw.

Yep figured it was not a legal sign.
Thanks
BTW I carried not having seen a sign at the door.
It may be as Brian said. “makes everyone feel warm and fuzzy” Made me warm and fuzzy knowing I had it with me.
Thanks

The mall cannot post a bans guns sign as it is a landlord and the law precludes a landlord prohibiting access to a tenant but tenants within the mall can ban carry. Example Ridgedale Mall cannot post a bans gun sign but Coach Leather within the mall can (by the way this is an actual example).
