Under the bill, a person carrying or possessing a dangerous weapon, whether concealed or not, shall not enter upon or be present in the real property of the owner, lessee, or person in lawful possession of the real property without the express permission of the owner, lessee, or person in lawful possession of the real property if a printed or written notice forbidding such entry has been conspicuously posted or exhibited at the main entrance to the property or the forbidden part of the property.
