Except as you all know... Posting the sign tells the bad guys and whack jobs it is open season on unarmed civilians.
You could get them in trouble that way, shooting a bad guy, who then sues because he relied on their sign assuring him that no guns were present except his. "rlol"

I am a contract IT worker and one of the locations where I occasionally work will be posting a 30.06 sign in the near future. I advised them that I do not feel safe because they are advertising to the bad guys that this is a gun free zone and would be "easy pickings" for some nut job to shoot up the place without fear of an armed response. In addition to that, I usually perform my work after normal business hours and on weekends where building is mostly vacant. Apparently the governing board has determined that a 30.06 sign is necessary to protect the building's occupants.

I advised them that I would no longer to perform work at that location due to their prohibition of handguns by CHL holders. Given that I am retired police and have passed a background check performed by that business, the highest authority at that particular location has no problem with me carrying my concealed handgun while on the property in question.

I understand that written permission exempting me from the 30.06 may allow me to legally carry. Is this true? If so, it there a template or example document that has passed muster in judicial proceedings? Can anyone point me to such a document?
People who think signs can protect people are what's called "magical thinkers." Seems to be a lot of them around these days.
