I worked at a local bank when I was in high school. One of the tellers I worked with had been robbed. The guy quietly put his gun on the counter and said "give me everything in your drawer." She said "Oh of course, I just need to see your driver's license."
He gave it to her.

This shows a willful misunderstanding how laws and law enforcement works.
If you have a no-gun sign in your shop and someone enters your shop with a gun, you can immediately call the police and reasonably expect them to show up and to remove the person breaking the rule on the sign.
If not, and someone shows up with a gun, you can't get the police involved unless they do something else that is illegal.
This is how no-tresspassing signs work too.
It's "Funny" to imagine the sign as a magical ward that keeps things away, but the reality is that it's a sign that gives Law Enforcement the authority to act.

Sure, but the sign is an important legal notice without which you can't prevent the otherwise legal carry of a firearm within your establishment. The sign is a function of how the law is written, not the strawman anti-criminal notice you and estis are making it out to be.

The other thing the sign does is give anyone else the ability to call the cops and the cops authority to enter and intervene without being called.

u/Procean Jul 29 '26 edited Jul 29 '26
Wtf do you think being trespassed
Trespassing is being somewhere where the property owner has not consented to you being.
But when a business is "open", they are explicitly giving The Public consent to being there (Particularly in the customer facing portions of the business).
You can't "Trespass" when a business is open any more than you can "steal" from someone saying "Take whatever you want". Before it can become a crime (and thus relevant for police intervention) one person needs to let the other person know they're withdrawing consent.
Why is this so hard for people to understand?
2
u/stupiddogyoumakeme Jul 29 '26
In the U.S., a private business generally has the right to exclude people from its property, but there are limits. The exact rules depend on state law.
Here's the general framework:
A business owner or an authorized employee (such as a manager or security) can tell someone to leave the property for almost any lawful reason.
If the person refuses after being told to leave, they can typically be cited or arrested for criminal trespass.
The business can also issue a trespass notice that bans someone from returning for a specified period or indefinitely, depending on state law and company policy.
If the banned person comes back after receiving notice, they may be arrested for trespassing even if they aren't causing any other problems.
There are important exceptions:
A business cannot remove or ban someone for an unlawful discriminatory reason, such as because of their race, religion, national origin, or other protected characteristics under federal or state public accommodation laws.
If the property is open to the public (such as a retail store), the owner still has the right to set reasonable rules for entry and behavior, as long as those rules are applied lawfully.
If the police are called:
Officers will usually verify that the business wants the person removed.
If the person leaves when instructed, many departments simply document the incident.
If they refuse or return after being trespassed, officers may issue a citation or make an arrest under the applicable trespassing statute.
If you're asking specifically about Georgia or about a particular situation (for example, a customer, employee, contractor, or someone on company-owned recreational land), I can explain how the law applies in that context.

u/Procean Jul 29 '26 edited Jul 29 '26
Now please read that carefully, because it makes my point, not yours.
If you have a business, and your business is open, people walking in the door are on your property lawfully Until you tell them to leave.
You have the right to remove them for almost any reason, but you do have to communicate to them somehow that you want them to leave. This can be done with signs, with announcements over a PA, this can be done in person. The only time you don't need to do any communication is if they're breaking other laws (If they're being disorderly for instance, disorderly conduct is a crime).
This is so fundamental to how basic public interaction works that it's kind of absurd to have to put into words.
The fundamental thing none of you seem to understand is that when you put that "open" sign up, you are giving explicit consent to people walking into your business, and any one in your business is there legally up until you communicate that you removed your consent (something you can do by any means and for almost any reason.... but you do have to do it).
Calling the cops to remove everyone by force because you "closed the store early" is illegal if you didn't actually announce in any way to the people in the store that yes, you were closing the store early. At best the cops just wont come when you call, at worst the cops will seek to prosecute you for wasting too much their time.
Or do you think that's somehow "legal" and that the police should come and remove people if you want to close your store 2 hours early, but instead of announcing your store is closed you just immediately called the police to remove everyone for trespassing?

Yes, often they will—but it depends on the circumstances and your local police department's policies.
If you're an owner, manager, or another person authorized to act for the business, you can usually call the police and explain that you want someone removed from the property because they are no longer welcome. If you don't feel safe or comfortable confronting the person yourself, tell the dispatcher that.
In many cases, officers will:
Speak with the person.
Inform them they are no longer welcome on the property.
Direct them to leave.
Warn them that returning could result in a trespassing charge.
If the person refuses to leave after the officers give that instruction, they may be cited or arrested for trespassing, depending on your state's laws and the circumstances.
If you feel there is any immediate threat of violence or you believe the person could become aggressive, don't try to handle it yourself. Let the dispatcher know why you don't feel safe approaching them so the responding officers understand the situation.
Are you in Georgia, and are you the owner, an employee, or a manager of the business? Just take the L buddy.

u/Procean Jul 29 '26
I don't think you seem to understand the issue.
Let me be more precise since you're so die hard on misunderstanding the issue.
If a cop chooses to be your agent to tell someone to leave, while they can absolutely chose to do that (you can have anyone communicate on your behalf, not just police officers), but explicitly them deciding to do that is not them doing a Law Enforcement duty. They have zero responsibility or obligation under their duty as law enforcement to do that.
'The cop may do you a favor and do this even though it's not part of his job' is not the grand win that you think it is, I mean really.
And here's the dark part of this, this 'I will do them a favor to lean into other people even though it's not at all a part of my job or duties' is something some cops generally only do for certain people... even though technically they shouldn't be doing it for anyone.
So when you call the cop to lean into those teenagers you don't like the look of in your store, do you think the cop is doing his job as law enforcement or do you think he's just being a hired thug leaning into people who aren't breaking any law?
Please answer that question.

It might depend on where you live. They will show up where I live.

"I don't feel safe asking them to leave" and the cop will handle the situation.
So in your viewpoint, you think the role of the police is to "Remove people from public access places (like stores) even if they're not breaking any laws?".
I mean, we can talk about what Law Enforcement looks like in that case, but it's not good.
I mean, accusing the cops of just "being the heavies that land owners use to jackboot the rest of us" would be harsh, but I'm not the one who says they think they can use the police in that way.

My favorite bit here is someone posted the following supposedly agreeing with you but once the outline of the law is actually READ it shows that no, you can't have someone trespassed from your private business without telling them to leave in some way first.
I'll add emphasis.
In the U.S., a private business generally has the right to exclude people from its property, but there are limits. The exact rules depend on state law.
Here's the general framework:
A business owner or an authorized employee (such as a manager or security) can tell someone to leave the property for almost any lawful reason.
If the person refuses after being told to leave, they can typically be cited or arrested for criminal trespass.
The business can also issue a trespass notice that bans someone from returning for a specified period or indefinitely, depending on state law and company policy.
If the banned person comes back after receiving notice, they may be arrested for trespassing even if they aren't causing any other problems
So when you said the following
You can have someone trespassed from your business. It's literally one of the functions of police. It is not some jackboot distopia.
If the police come to 'tresspass' from your business in response to you telling someone to leave and them refusing, that's the police doing their job. They're removing a trespasser.
However if the police come to 'trespass' someone from your business whom you've not told somehow to leave (and thus who by legal definition above are not trespassing), that's not the cops being cops, that's the cops acting as your personal jackbooted thugs.
Now you probably realized this when I asked you "did you ask your trespassers to leave somehow before you called the cops on them?" and you refused to answer. You actually did ask/tell them to leave first, didn't you.
But I'd suggest you use this as a lesson that you don't even know your own country's law well enough to recognize it when it has been described explicitly to you multiple times.
And you were a real jerk about it on top of that.
(I happen to also have been born in and lived in the US, but even if I wasn't, I would have recognized your description of the law to be, at the very least impractible and at the most downright dystopic).

It's like you have no idea what "open" means when you say a business is "open".
It's is literally the owner of the property inviting people to come into the area to do business.
It's like advertising an open house and then thinking you can call the cops on the people who show up because 'they're in your house!'.
No, The Cops are not going to rush to your aid, nor should they.
you invited those people when you said your business was open and before they can be removed you need to rescind the invitation.

If there's no "no trespassing" sign and your business is open, it's not trespassing.
Some places have anti-loitering laws where you can say "they've been here too long" which in theory means you don't have to ask them to leave, but again, that's a law in place that is broken.

u/Procean Jul 29 '26
They don’t have to ask first.
Only if your "Property" is not designated public access.
If your property is something like a shop, during business hours, you will NOT be able to get the cops involved unless you've somehow otherwise indicated the person should leave (sign, or personal request, or other indication that they are actually breaking a law that then would be enforced).
Sorry dude, 'They're standing there in my shop and I want them gone but I don't want to tell them' is not enough to get the police involved.

Please explain the difference or do you think restaurant owners can similarly legally shoot incoming customers in the head

u/FinsFan305 Jul 29 '26
Because in order to shoot someone coming on private property, you have to have a reasonable expectation of bodily harm. At least in Florida. Again you have not said what country or state you are in. Someone walking into a restaurant by itself does not imply the intention of bodily harm whereas someone walking through the front door of a house unexpectedly has a more plausible inference of committing a crime where a stand-your-ground defense becomes easier to prove.

Why exactly can you assume intent to do bodily harm when they walk into your house rather than when they walk into your open restaurant?
In both cases the person is walking into your private property....
(I think it has something to do with you declaring your Restaurant open to the public, but you've assured me this is simply 'not a thing'. I also think when people have open houses this means they can't similarly shoot people coming into their homes in the head, I shudder at your implication that the announcement of the open house changes nothing and that those home owners can legally shoot those visitors in the head).

That's not even close to true in many states.
Even in states with Castle doctrine it's not legal to shoot someone simply for walking into your house. You have to assert that you were in reasonable fear for your life or great bodily harm. Castle doctrine just creates a presumption of reasonable fear when someone breaks into your home.

u/Procean Jul 29 '26
There’s no such thing as “designated public access”
Let me put it this way. When you say your business is "open", not only is it designated for public access, you are the one designating it. Most people would agree "open" is short for "open to the public."
Just like when you say you're closed what you mean is closed to public access. That's what these words mean.
It's really something else to have someone say "There's no such thing" about something that's so ubiquitous.
1
u/Procean Jul 29 '26
Yes there is, the words may not be exact, but there absolutely is.
It's the reason for example you can just "walk in" to a restaraunt during business hours but if you do the same thing to a residence the owner can literally put three bullets into your head without breaking a single law.
It's bizarre that you don't know there's a very definite legal difference between the two things

u/FinsFan305 Jul 29 '26
And the restaurant can have an officer trespass you with no warning.
2
u/Procean Jul 29 '26
No, don't dodge the question, you claimed there's no such thing as a proviso for public access, that you can treat an open shop just like your home.
But if someone walks into your home, even if your door is unlocked, you are authorized to literally shoot them in the head. You don't have to ask questions, you don't have to call anyone else, 'they stepped onto your property, you get to immediately assume ill intent and respond with lethal force'.
Do you think Restaurants have similar rules or is there a difference because the Restaurant said "open for business"?

u/Asteroth6 Jul 29 '26
It’s a little more funny for school “Drug Free Zones” (referring to illegal drugs, since legal prescriptions are still legal on school grounds), or even better, “No Shooting Zone”. Obviously, shooting up the school is incredibly illegal without any argument and the sign changes nothing, but schools in the, shall we say, less prosperous parts of the city near me actually post those instead of the Drug Free Zone signs.

They give unfollowable directions, some say crawl, some say to keep their hands up. Blam blam blam. Our would-be hero is dead on the floor because they couldn't do both.

No this is how morons think politicians think gun control works. The whole point is that it allows cops to stop people with guns and arrest them when they normally couldn't.

I remember the story of the robber who wrote his demands on a deposit slip from another bank, the teller said she couldn't accept it and he'd need to go across the street to the bank on the slip. He did, police were called while he was walking over, and he was arrested.

Imagine how safe our roads would be if all cars had a 'baby on board' bumper sticker...

Story my old boss told me from her days as a teller: guy walks into the bank, visibly nervous. Puts a piece of paper on the counter; it's a deposit slip from another bank across town, and on it is written GIVE ME $1000 I HAVE A GUN
She looks at it and says "I'm sorry, this is for a different bank. I can't accept this."
Robber walks out without a word.

Maybe he can't read English? I mean maybe he just wanted to weigh his bag. It's in pounds.

I lived in a neighborhood that had a sign "school zone. no crime allowed"

I'd rewrite this comic, I'd have a guy walk in holding a gun, right by the no gun sign, only to be shot as he walked through the door.
Cut to a teller, holding a weapon saying "No guns only applies to customers".

Hey, they put up signs that killing or assaulting an MTA employee is a crime with time in NYC

I did something similar a few years ago. You know how the trope is that Jason kills those who have premarital ... So in the first block the couple remarks about they can't believe how cheap they got the cabin for. The next scene, they're in bed and a creak sound of a door appears in the background. The next scene Jason's raising his machete. The guy flips over and shows his marriage license as their just married. The last panel, Jason's walking out of the cabin head down dragging his machete behind him.

Anti gun/gun free zones argument, and why it's silly, in one meme. I love it.

u/Germangunman Jul 31 '26
They should put up the gun free zone signs too. Then criminals would know they can’t bring them in.

It's almost like we have to make signs that say theres no money kept on premises, or that the employees have no way of hand delivering anything of value upon demand... /s

As a child I went with Mom to the bus station to pick up a friend of hers. We saw the usual clientele you would expect--rough looking crowd. There was a sign on the wall that read "NO SPITTING ON THE FLOOR!" I distinctly remember thinking, "Anyone who would spit on the floor indoors will not care about this sign, and anyone who wouldn't spit on the floor indoors doesn't need the sign to remind them."

This is funny and all, but when I was a teller, I got robbed at gunpoint by a note-passer. He hit 10 other local banks before he was caught.
At his trial, he argued, "if they would've just told me 'no', I would've walked away."

*read in posh British voice*
"What do you mean we can't rob the place?"
"Sign says so right there."
"Well what do we care?"
"Now come on mate. Just because we're robbing and killing doesn't mean we don't have standards."
"Well if you're such a stickler for procedure, why didn't you perform a five point room scan?"

Gun control laws in a nutshell

u/Slick424 Jul 29 '26
Gun control works. That's why any other nation that is similar developed as the US only have a quarter the murder rate the US has.
2
u/TypicalRedditMod403 Jul 29 '26
Or maybe it's because they have social safety nets, healthcare, mental health care, people are paid livable wages etc.

u/Stivo887 Jul 29 '26
Ah because every other nation is exactly like the US right down to the culture. Everything that would work work in other countries would work here. Got it.

not sure why they don't put these up
They would pretty much only work in the UK and Canada.
Maybe Japan?

Those are criminals, they dont listen to the rules anyway. Should put up a sign saying "no giving money to robbers" instead.

People are getting so conditioned to just accept any corporate policies, this might actually work.
