I think if you carry concealed make sure it stays that way, and I believe you should have no problems.

Just my thoughts

Loknload21190,
First off welcome to the site and thanks for your comments. I agree to your thoughts with regard to keeping concealed and it nobody's business. I also believe your correct that should they discover you are carrying all they can do is ask you to leave. I also do carry in many places where they have no gun policies and I always probably will since I keep concealed. I just happen to think it isn't a bad idea to drop off cards like these in places where the they have such policies just to make them think and who knows if enough people do you just never know.
These places are in business to get our money and it just isn't a bad idea to let them know why they may not get mine.

Myself and my friends just don't spend any money at places that prohibit firearms.
We vote with our wallets. The local business get the hint in a hurry.

Grizz, thats a great policy you have. My question is, how do they get the hint? How do they know they're losing money? Do you tell them or are you just assuming they know?

We are located in a rural area and just like the old "Cheers" sit com, everyone knows your name.

When the owners of these businesses notice that their customer base is shrinking and see several old friends walk up to no firearms sign, then turn around and get back into their vehicles to leave, they start asking questions, and a friend or family member will inform them. The policy will change.

I thought I read a while ago that signs in PA hold no water, you have to be asked by the owner or employee of the business to leave. This has always made PA friendly to CCW because its hard to ask if they cant see.

I cannot remember where I heard/read this maybe someone can post something more specific or tell me if I am incorrect.

Does anyone know of other stores in the states that have signs stating no guns?

I didn't know Franklin Mills has a no firearms sign, I've been in the mall couple of times but never notice it, beside those no firearms sign has no meaning as I was told and beside me, no one knows I'm packing even my wife and kids. I'll look for the sign next time though.

I noticed it at the entrance near the Ruby Tuesdays. I just happened to look to my right as we were walking out and saw the sign posted on the wall.

Wait your wife and kids dont know that you carry, or they are just never sure when your carrying?

They knew I have it but they don't know where it is on my body unless they hugs me and no, I don't wear baggy either, just my daily dockers and polo, some time tucked sometime don't. That's concealed .
