Imagine if you were a teen again and your dad said take out the trash and you put it on the back porch, it's out, but not in the trash can. You might have done what he said but not what he intended.
But, there is not a SPECIFIC law that says your dad must say, "Take the trash from the kitchen and place it in the garbage can in the alley."

Does the property owner have no regard for my rights? I follow the letter of the law when I carry, and I believe that the property owners should have to do the same. If their intent is to keep me off their property, then they need to do the research to find out what is required (I took a 10-hour class to find out what is required by me when I carry). I also truly believe that some people purposely post non-compliant signs to appease higher-powers (corporate execs) knowing that CHL holders know the law and would walk past it anyway. It just gives that execs that "feel good" feeling.

BUT, that is just my opinion. By all means, follow your heart/head, and do what you think is best for your safety.
