Is this legal?

In Missouri, the sign really only indicates the building occupants desire that no weapons come in. If noticed, you may be told to leave and you may return w/o your weapon. If you don't follow this instruction, you're trespassing. The local Social Security office had an illegal sign posted on their door. When I went in (left my pistol in the car) with an empty holster, the guard got all fuzzed up. I informed him of the nonstandard signage and suggested if he intended to enforce it, he'd better get a legal notice posted. He was still hyped so I got my phone out and started taking pics of the sign. Next time I had to go to SS office, there was a proper sign and a different guard. Funny how the SS office needs an armed guard at the door.

I went to pay my cable bill the other day and I looked on the front of glass and door to see if it had a sign on it to not allow conceal weapons. It did not, so I went in I was waiting in line to pay bill and to my surprise on the wall inside the building, it had no concealable weapons. Boy was I surprised and had to go outside to car and disarm. Can this be upheld by law enforcement if I was caught with a weapon?

As others have said it cannot. The signs have to be on every entrance of the building, between 40 and 60 inches from the floor/ground, and a particular design that is VERY specific.

One thing to be careful of though is that quite often the non-standard signs are on places where you can't carry legally anyway (medical offices, banks, bars, etc). I don't think the local cable provider is on that list.

BTW - Central, SC? I'm just down the road in Seneca.

Banks are also not on the list in SC. No problem carrying concealed in a bank. Any signs that are not code are meant for bad guys, not sheepdogs.

I lived in Seneca on Return Church road when we were at Clemson. Paradise!
