I consider it just a "feel good" sign for someone not really concerned about the carrying of guns. If, however, one or several of the stores in the shopping center posted legitiment signs, I would avoid those particular businesses - and try to let the particular owner know why if I liked the store.

I went by there again today to see if any other entrance had a sign posted and of the 3 this was the only one. I drove by most of the businesses and I only saw one that had an .07 sign and no .06. By the information I could find this business is owned by the same entity as the shopping center. This makes me wonder who actually posted the sign. If they did not want guns on the premises why would they only post .07 on their own business?

In this case it sounds like I'll stop doing business with all of the businesses in this shopping center. Even if the sign has no power it does convey to me their intent and that intent is to not want my business.

But would the .06 sign be legal for the entire parking lot?

Should this type of sign be reported?

Report it to whom? This sign is NOT illegal. It is not enforceable, but it is not illegal to post it.

If you were to report it to the shopping center they might decide to post a proper sign.

IMO, keep it to yourself.

I'm sure it would do no good to talk to whoever posted it so that was not a consideration.

If they did post a .06/.07 would it be legal if posted at that location to make the whole parking lot off limits? I don't know of any of the businesses in the complex that are posted.

To whom, for what reason?

I guess that was my question. I'm sure there is no point in trying to talk to whoever posted it.
