VA State CCW Holder!
I'm slowly starting to concealed carry around where I go, mainly starting with long road trips through the state... I occasionally pull over to help some stranded motorist with a flat tire or a blown radiator hose, as I carry a battery powered impact wrench, hydraulic jack, and a spare jug of coolant among other items.
You never know who's just doing it as a front to rob someone.
Anyhow, whenever I pull over to a fuel station or food place, I get a little nervous about it. Sometimes I wanna run into a Sheetz or Wawa to grab a sammich.
I do a quick scan of the door I'm using to enter for any no weapons signs.
How visible to these signs have to be? Is there a minimum size, standard placement, or standard language? Does it have to be a picture of a gun with a red slashed circle on it, or could it potentially be text only? Does it have to be placed at every entrance or do I have to do a lap around the store to make sure it's not on any entrance?
What is the proper procedure if I walk into one of these places because I have not noticed the sign. Perhaps it fell off or was the size of a postage stamp down by the lower hinge of the door. Do they have to ask me to leave, or are they legally allowed to detain me until the police arrive?
Or should this be moved to a state forum?
