Agreed, that's how I'd look at it also, but I feel that brings up a safety issue in a way. Let's say you're miles from home, or across the state doing things, and you run into this little place that has one of those signs. Suddenly you're faced with having to either store your gun in the trunk of your car, or worst even in your glove compartment. With cars being able to be stolen as quickly as they are I just don't like that idea.The way I interpret the "No Guns Allowed" signs are, even tho you have a license to carry in this state, a no guns sign posted will ban you from carring inside the establishment and if you do ignore the sign and carry, and a complaint is filed against you, you could very well lose your ticket! Thats how I read it..anyone have a better interpretation?
If someone in the state I live in has a store that decides they don't want to allow concealed weapons to be carried in their store, even though that kind of store does not fall under the prohibited carry laws according to my license, does that mean my license negates their notice because I'm licensed, or is it legally valid that they have that say?

You know that's really a good point and I respect the attitude you guys have pointed out in regards to taking your business elsewhere. I wonder if it wouldn't also be a wise idea to point out to the manager, even if it's just from their front door, that they're losing your business because of their sign and opinion, that most people would have thought you'd welcome customers like yourself in because you've already proven via an FBI background check that you were a safe law abiding citizen with a spotless record. After all they're only hurting their own business by doing this since concealed carry is becoming more and more common these days.like many others, if I did come across one I'd take my business some place else.

Here's even another thought, maybe one of these web pages or someone similar could make up a ton of business cards stating that very thing, then we could buy 25 or 50 at a time as needed and carry a few in our wallets to hand out to stores who decide upon that policy. It could state something similar to what I said above regarding our being law abiding citizens with proven clean FBI backgrounds checks, that they're only hurting themselves doing that. Hmmm.. Oh well.. maybe I ran with that a tad.
