How about providing actual cites and/or links to the parts you think support your assertions instead of trying to keep me busy so I don't bother you with requests for cites and/or links...
You do the leg work to support and prove your assertion that I quoted below...
By the way:
Here is a law that affects private property businesses in Michigan:
Michigan Legislature - Section 750.552
THE MICHIGAN PENAL CODE (EXCERPT)
Act 328 of 1931
750.552 Trespass upon lands or premises of another; exception; violation; penalty; "process server" defined.
Sec. 552.
(1) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (2), a person shall not do any of the following:
(a) Enter the lands or premises of another without lawful authority after having been forbidden to do so by the owner or occupant or the agent of the owner or occupant.

Q: Is there a specific design for the no gun allowed sign? Does the law say where it has to be placed at a business, such as on the door or adjacent window leading into the business?
A: There are no specifications for “No Guns” or “No Weapons” signs in Michigan law. Under the law, there are two ways for a CPL holder to know that guns are not allowed in a specific location. The first is the list of “Pistol Free Zones” (often colloquially referred to as violent criminal empowerment zones) that we must all memorize, which is part of the CPL statute (Pistol Free Areas).
The second is when the owner or lessor of any real property communicates to us that our guns are not welcome there. That communication must be reasonable in order to be effective. By reasonable, I don’t mean polite. I mean that there is an effective means of communicating to us that we are not welcome so long as we are carrying our guns. This can be done with a sign, verbally, or in some kind of printed material.

If you choose to ignore any such reasonable notice, then you become a trespasser rather than a business invitee. Trespass can be punished as a crime and/or in civil court, and could affect your CPL licensing status.

Welcome to The Law Offices of Steven W. Dulan, PLC) This answer is intended as general information and should not be relied upon as legal advice for any specific situation or case. The facts of each case vary and you should consult an attorney whenever you have specific questions.
Granted Mr. Dulan's opinion should not be taken as legal advice yet it is telling in how a Michigan attorney, an attorney who might be representing someone fighting a trespass charge, understands Michigan's trespass law.
Oh... and note that Mr. Dulan used the words "business invitee" ..........
