I've noticed that some people have some confusion around this...
Here's what to do.
1) Turn around, and go back to your car.
2) Purchase what you need at a different business.
3) While unarmed, enter the business with the offensive sign, and ask to see the manager. Show the manager the receipt, and explain why you shopped elsewhere.
3a) The manager's eyes will dart to your waistline, and you can then reply "Oh now, I respect your wishes, and I left my gun in the car, but I want to ensure my safety in the event of a holdup or a parking lot mugging or attack. You need to rethink your policies, because the only people who will pay attention to your signs are people like me - people who can prove that they are not criminals. Criminals will ignore your signs, or even possibly target your business or customers -because- of them. Have a great day!"
What NOT to do....
Do NOT measure the sign, decide that it isn't "legal," because it's a quarter-inch too small, and shop there anyway.
Do NOT compare the wording, if any, on the sign, with your state's statute, decide that it isn't "legal," and shop there anyway.
Do NOT "fail to notice" the sign that isn't posted at eye level in the middle of the door, and shop there anyway.
