Gun Sign Requirements and Limitations

January 11, 2016

For non-enhanced permit holders, “no gun” signs for different places have the force of law.

§ 45-9-101. License to Carry Stun Gun, Concealed Pistol or Revolver
Carrying of stun guns, pistols and revolvers may be prohibited by the owner of any property by putting a written sign stating that weapons are not allowed in the premises and it should be easy for the visitors to read at a distance of ten feet.

§ 97-37-7(2). It is not a violation of the concealed carry weapons law to possess a firearm in a place that is posted with no gun sign, but if an individual carrying his firearm is asked by the owner of the property to leave the premises but he failed to do so, he will be charged with trespassing, a crime punishable by a fine not exceeding $500 or imprisonment of not longer than six months.
