No, the way the law is set up is as a trespass statute. All that bit means is that business owners may prohibit firearms and you can't argue if they ask you to leave. I.e., it's not a civilly protected right. Anyone who has taken the course knows how it works. This is specifically covered.
Here's the complete procedure you have to follow to get your stupid self arrested (and I say "stupid self" because you'd have to be seriously stupid for it to happen):
1. Someone notices you're carrying. Asks you to leave.
2. You refuse.
3. Person calls police.
4. Police ask you to leave.
5. You refuse.
6. Police arrest you for trespassing.
The police have to witness you trespassing, and witness the person asking you to leave in order to arrest you. Otherwise it's hearsay. The signs alone do not carry the weight of a "No trespassing" sign or mean police can arrest you just for carrying in a posted premises. They have to actually ask you to leave in order for it to have any teeth.
