I was at the XO Colocation center @ 1200 N. Washington today. After our meeting with the customer, I wandered around looking at the colo cages. I noticed a sign that XO had put up "banning" the usual things not permitted in colos, like food, soda, tobacco (dunno what chew does for data, but I digress), and "FIREARMS".


The building itself was NOT posted on the entrace we used (secure access only for colo tenants). I wasn't carrying (work prohibits it, and I'll admit that until you get to know new customers, you can risk losing them), so it wasn't an issue for me.

But it led me to wonder, can they ban carry inside the facility? The customers are tenants and house their private property inside rented spaces inside the facility, and as far as I know the inside of your cage or rack is treated pretty much as private property.

But then it got me thinking about the contract you sign with them, which probably has some catchall language about agreeing to follow whatever rules they decide to make, including new ones, regarding facility access, security, etc etc.

I'm pretty carry wouldn't be a violation of the law -- it's not posted pursuant to Minnesota law. But can they ban carry *at all* when acting as defacto landlords? If rented a cage there and some facility manager saw me carrying, would they be able to cancel my contract for cause?

It'll take a court case to determine what "landlord" means, I'll bet. Sadly, the best bet is to let them continue to think that their improper posting is doing them good.
