I have never seen it in any policy....I've read many commercial polices from different carriers. It is an excuse, not a restriction of a policy.
No offense, but I doubt it. Most policies limit what the insured can/can't do; not what others are/aren't doing. An insurance policy is about the insured, not anyone else.
But, But....they are against us gun owners and are posted !!!! OMG !!! What do we do now ??????Redbaron007 is right. I asked them about it. The sign is directed at their own employees, not customers. Here is the response that I got earlier today:
Thank you for your email. I'm sorry for the confusion. Technically we don't have a store, we are an internet driven warehouse business. Customers coming into MidwayUSA may open or conceal carry when picking up their packages. We do ask that the handguns remain in their holsters and rifle and shotguns be left in the vehicle or case as we do not allow gunsmithing or parts fitting in the pick up area.
As far as employees, open carry is not allowed due to the work that is involved and the hazards of working near a high speed conveyor, but conceal carry is still very much encouraged.
If you have any additional questions or comments, please feel free to contact us at 1-800-243-3220. Our hours of operation are Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. CT. You may also email us at customerservice@midwayusa.com.
Thanks for Your Business!

I take my right to carry seriously, I would hope everyone would.

I asked to see the insurance agreement for myself and was handed a huge book...which I dutifully looked through and found nothing on the topic. And the church insurance covers anyone on the premises. My mom fell and broke her arm there one time, and the church insurance paid for her hospital bills.

In that case, the noice shouldn't be posted on the front door because a reasonable person would believe that the sign applied to anyone entering. Put it beside the timeclock, in the employee handbook, give every employee a copy and make them sign it, whatever, but if you allow the public to enter the building then signs at the entrance apply to them as well as employees.
I have been in email exchange with Eric from MidwayUSA. In his first email he said that he didn't know if they had an open carry policy. In his next email he said open carry in a holster would be fine. He wanted to know somethings about my experiences while opening carrying and I told him that almost 100% of my experiences have been positive. He said he might just give it a try. I suggested they put up a new sign with something like ""Please wear your holstered open or concealed weapon with pride". He said he would follow though with the idea, so maybe we will get a new sign. Good experience with MidwayUSA. I will continue to give them my business.
Nice job and a good example of a misunderstanding turning into a positive interaction for our cause.
