That looks to be legal. Time to find another theater. All of us here should call them and tell them that they have lost our business!

Sure, it's legal. Most states do not have laws as to how "no weapons" is to be posted. It is still privately owned property, and as such, the owner/tenant can say what is allowed or not. Just like 'No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service", or "We refuse the right to refuse service to anyone". Don't have to like it. In a state where there is a law, and the sign isn't perfect, is it worth a confrontation?
Just as if the owner/management asked you to leave politely, and you refused, is it trespass?
I do not usually 'see' those signs (BIG EXCEPTION: State or Federal buildings, Post Offices, etc), but if my carrying is noticed (cc = seldom) I politely leave. I have only had one 'incident' where the LEO asked me to leave, and I did, politely. I have not returned to that business, there are many more out there that don't care.

My second amendment rights do not over-ride your personal property rights.

Sorry to tell you, starbasessd you are wrong. We're not dealing with Indiana but SC. In SC you can put anything you want in a door or window that says no CC allowed but if it doesn't meet the sign requirements or posted correctly as stated by SC law it's not worth the paper it's printed on. I carry all the time in businesses that have bogus signs including banks. We have a flea market in our area that has signs all over the place. I carry there all the time because they don't meet the requirements. The exception as you said are Fed buildings which is common knowledge that you can't carry in them.

as many times as I have carried in HW20 I have not seen that siign... is that new, or another theater?

I sent an excellent letter I gleaned from these forums to the Tuesday Morning store in Lacey, WA, but have received no response. Another tactic is the cards that have the no gun symbol, an equal sign, and a stack of bills with the no symbol and a message that we will respect thewir wishes and take our business elsewhere. In addition, there is the sign you can put up over theirs that read Defense free crime zone. patrons have been disarmed for your convenienc. Enjoy. Hopefully, they wil get the message eventually.

sad to say the HW20 has turned into the new teenage hangout.
worse the parents let the kids hangout there.... makes for good income for off duty cops...
but if they have put up those signs I will start going to another theater. Cherrydale, Spartburg etc.

I'd walk around and check all the doors... the way I understand it all entrances and exits have to be posted... what you want to bet the exits in the back don't have a sign?

The exits in the back are EXITS, not entrances so they don't have to be posted, just the entrances.

(B) All signs must be posted at each entrance into a building where a concealable weapon permit holder is prohibited from carrying a concealable weapon and must be:

Looks like they want you to open carry a shotgun or a rifle since they would meet the criteria of the sign.
