On one hand, I generally take my business to places that are smarter in their signage. There are some that post signs that leave loopholes for permit holders, if one reads them. For example, signs that don't comply with state requirements, or signs that ban unlawful carry. I normally avoid doing business with stores that have outright bans.

OTOH, I understand their anxiety, and feel that the long term fix will have to be tort reform. Indemnify businesses against liability in such scenarios, and they will lose most of the incentive (most, since some are actual anti's, liability issues notwithstanding) to post such bans.

Meanwhile, it is nice to live in a state where it is up to me whether to comply. In Missouri, if one does carry, there is no criminal or civil liability in a posted business unless one a) is caught and b) then refuses to leave.

I generally believe in respecting the business owners property rights, but boycotting, but it's nice to have the choice.
