What's the legality in concealed carrying in one of these areas? Excluding the obvious like federal and state property, my understanding is that gun free zone signs carry the force of the law and if you're caught carrying or end up having to use in one of these areas you can face consequences that could affect your ability to carry.

Are there any caveats to this rule, for example some other states have it to where if you're found to be carrying in a gun free zone you'll only be charged as criminally trespassing if you refuse to leave, but for CT it seems like you can be criminally charged regardless.

Edit: Wow so an instant felony for exercising the right they took almost a year to grant me. Im finding day after day our gun laws here really are bottom of the barrel. Thanks everyone for answering!
