Do not rely on things you see on the forums. Google (Your) State laws on the subject

The only problem in my little town of Knightdale is the Bojangles.
Fortunately, there is a KFC, Chic-Fil-A and Hardees right down the street. They share my business.

The establishments that put up no carry signs in all likelihood do it on advice of corporate counsel. Legal counsel is always trying to think ahead to provide a safe (or at least safer) legal position for their client or employer. Meaning, if there was a shooting inside a certain establishment and it involved a concealed weapon (carried concealed legally or otherwise) and injury occurred, the legal position would be stronger if there was a warning sign up posting the area against weapons...

We are very fortunate in KY. Open carry is legal, concealed carry (with permit) is legal.

If a gun prints or your shirt rides up over it, no problem. You just went from concealed to open carry. I am not aware of anyone being charged with brandishing if the gun doesn't leave the holster.

After all, KY was ranked second "WORST" by the Brady Center! Yes, we had a party when that was announced.

In WV, we were cautioned that even having it "show" accidentally and getting a soccer mom excited about seeing a "gun" could lead to a hasty pick-up and arrest for "brandishing".
Be careful in your carry habits guys!!

Some states, from what I have read, allow a shop or store management to put up the signs and in those certain states you could be charged with trespassing I think it was if you carried your gun on their property. I would have no problem ignoring thier signs or better yet boycotting thier business.

I agree with your friend Greg: if the weapon comes out arrest is the last thing Im worried about.

Fortunately, I dont need to worry about that. I decided waiting sucked so I went and looked up Missouri's laws myself. Chapter 571 of the Missouri Revised Statues has 4 sections of particular concern and relation to concealed firearms: one for the permit (how to apply, if it's revoked etc), one for the places...

If the sign crosses out a pic of a 92F Berreta, carry something else.

A friend says "if it comes out, something was more threatening than an arrest".......

The majority of opinions I'm getting on this issue seem to be of the "carry anyway" or "don't give them business" variety, not just from this board but from other places I have asked as well. Personally, I haven't decided if I'm going to carry or not in places prohibited. I reserve that decision until after I take my CCW class and find out the legal ramifications of getting caught carrying when I'm not...

When Minnesota went concealed carry, some business put up signs, then took them down after loosing money. The big retailer, Target, was contacted by lots of us who asked them not to put up a sign, which they wisely chose not to put up. We had a restaurant chain that did Mexican food who put up signs, I even wrote them and told them not to. As far as I know, their entire chain is now closed down, I felt very festive when I saw their place near me empty, stripped out and with a sign out...

When Texas first got its CCW law, we saw lots of those signs. Don't see so many now. Somebody went around and told them that if a CCW holder entered their place without a gun and was killed or injured in an encounter with an armed intruder, they would be liable for not providing adequate protection on their premises. Even big shopping malls and interstate companies like Time-Warner got the message. Amazing what the possibility of a lawsuit will do to their anti-gun views

I would find out the details of the laws in your state and consequences. You don't want to break the law or cause yourself undo problems. And on the flip side, as a licensed carry permit holder, you are the "protector of the sheep", as they say. It wouldn't set well to have to watch a crackhead scoop up a little girl as a hostage or start using shoppers for target practice while you duck for cover and think about your weapon locked in the glovebox of your car. Hopefully the...

These places are not the only game in town.I do jot down the name and address of the establishment in question and send them a "educational letter "as to why I did not shop at their store.

Well, on a little bit of a bright note, I stopped by Wal-Mart last night and found no sign, placard, notification of any kind prohibiting concealed weapons in the store. At least, not at one of the entrances. I guess there's hope after all.

Tmygun, I'd have to agree. Two of my friends work at the Wal-Mart here and when I asked one about the CCW issue, he told me he'd feel...

Those signs are really idiotic. Do they really think a criminal will say oh gee, I'd better leave my gun at home in these posted places. All those signs do is hassle the lawfully licensed concealed carry people.

That was an issue of some confusion in Texas. So they specified a sign for it. The code dictates what it has to say, the size of the sign and lettering, and anything else is invalid. period.

Kris,
Also, a Google search will turn up CCW boards that are particular to your state.

Thanks for the replies gentlemen. I'm going to go into the local gunshop sometime soon and discuss this with one of the owners: he's a former State Trooper and also teaches CCW courses so I should be able to get a plethora of information and advice. Still, I'd like more input from the folks here, if anyone else has an opinion.

First, I apologize if this has been discussed already: I searched and did not find.

I've been considering getting my concealed carry permit for a few years now and so have read up on my state's laws regarding the issue. One thing I've noted is that (in addition to Federal property and banks) I cant carry on posted private property, which around here is anything from Wal-Mart to a gas station to the Mall. It seems as though 2 out of every 3 businesses has posted...
