How can I check if a visitor can read a post?

I know how to check capabilities for logged in users, with

$can_read = current_user_can('read',$post-ID);

But the above code returnes false when the user is not logged. So how can I check if the visitor has access to it?

Thanks!

Vistors usually always have the rights to access a post. Only exceptions that I know are drafts, password protected posts or post_types that are not public accessable.

You could use get_post_status() and post_password_required()
