Tennessee has specific language that has to be used. For a sign to carry the force of law it must have language that is "substantially similar" to:

"PURSUANT TO § 39-17-1359, THE OWNER/OPERATOR OF THIS PROPERTY
HAS BANNED WEAPONS ON THIS PROPERTY, OR WITHIN THIS
BUILDING OR THIS PORTION OF THIS BUILDING. FAILURE TO COMPLY
WITH THIS PROHIBITION IS PUNISHABLE AS A CRIMINAL ACT UNDER
STATE LAW AND MAY SUBJECT THE VIOLATOR TO A FINE OF NOT
MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($500)."

In 2.5 year I have yet to see a sign that met the legal requirements. I see lots of "no weapons" and "no firearms/guns" signs, but they do not carry the force of law so I do not follow them.
