What action may police take if a business owner asks a person to leave due to firearms and the person refuses?

• A. None; the owner must tolerate it
• B. Trespassing charges can be filed
• C. Summons for firearm permit violation
• D. Arrest for theft

Answer: (B)

Private property rights let a business control who can be on the premises. If a business owner asks someone to leave and the person refuses, they’re staying on property after being asked to depart, which is trespassing. In that situation, police can intervene and arrest or charge the individual with criminal trespass. The presence of a firearm itself isn’t, by itself, a firearm-permit violation, and there’s no theft involved here, so those options don’t fit the scenario.
