As a related question, if you are a legal CCW holder and are carrying in a legal manner, what penalties does one face for carrying in a business marked “no guns”?

Rmember the phrase; It’s better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.

Well none actually, since the company lacks any enforcement mechanism the only thing they could do is to ask you to leave the premises. IMHO

Depends on the state. In mine, they have no legal force (unless posted someplace carry is illegal regardless of signage). You can only be asked to leave, and theoretically arrested for trespassing if you refuse.

In Nebraska, and I believe some other states (Texas is one), signs that meet certain standards do have force of law. You could be arrested for illegal possession of a firearm in a place with a properly posted sign even if you were otherwise legally permitted to carry.

It depends on the state, but it could easily be a felony offense to be carrying concealed illegally.

Immediately ... none. However, by doing so you commit trespass. If they ask you to leave, you'd best do it. If you refuse, you could be committing "belligerent trespass", or "armed trespass", or some such. That's more serious ... police could get involved ... you could go to trial ... prison even.

IIRC.

IANAL

Management can ask you to leave and state why. You are carrying a weapon in violation of their policy.

If you refuse to leave, they can have you arrested for trespass.

They are sure to tell you that you are not allowed to return with your weapon. If you do, again you will be arressted for trespass.

In many states, there is no criminal penalty. If would fall into the same legal category as “no dogs” or “shirts required.” The owner has the right to eject you, and if you refuse, your are trespassing and subject to arrest.

But check your state, because some states surely make it a crime to violate a proper gun-ban sign on private property.

It varies from state to state. In Missouri, the store must ask you to leave. If you refuse, then they can call a cop and charge you with misdemeanor trespassing.

Loss of permit and lots of felony charges.
