If I had to guess I think they mean ' No firearms'. You would be within the 'letter of the law' but not the spirit. If the GF is understanding, I would take her and the kid. Then when the management tells you no guns allowed, leave and eat somewhere else. If they see dollar signs walking out the door they 'might' reconsider next time.
Good luck.

It says "No Concealed Weapons", therefore, to me, that says "No CONCEALED Weapons".

And, as VAOC said, if it's not just you, then that gives you a great answer for the "why do you have that?" question.

The only place in my neck of the woods that has a no CC sign is the hospital. When I was locksmithing and doing a lot of work their, I concealed anyway. Now when I go there it's as a blood donor so I strap on my 1911 and walk around like I own the place. No one says a thing about it.

Update: The last time I went to the hospital, they had added a no firearms sign. :X

Wouldn't the state preemption allow the carry of a firearm in the hospital?

From the Oregon Revised Statutes:

166.360
...
(4) “Public building” means a hospital,

Jester, are you sure? I'd always believed that hospitals were private property.

Not sure if it varies by state, but the Oregon Revised Statutes states that a hospital is a public building. Of course there could be 'private' hospitals like there are private universities. But then again the ORS states that even a private school is considered a public building.

Here is the actual statute for the definition:

[/b]

166.360 Definitions for ORS 166.360 to 166.380. As used in ORS 166.360 to 166.380, unless the context requires otherwise: ... (4) “Public building” means a hospital, a capitol building, a public or private school, as defined in ORS 339.315, a college or university, a city hall or the residence of any state official elected by the state at large, and the grounds adjacent to each such building. The term also includes that portion of any other building occupied by an agency of the state or a municipal corporation, as defined in ORS 297.405, other than a court facility. ...

As far as I can tell all of Oregon's hospitals are public buildings.

I'd go in there open and if they say anything, just point to the sign and say "It is not concealed. There is no sign banning open carry." I always laugh when i see the little window signs banning Baretta 92s(ya know the silhouette baretta with the red slash thru it). I think to myself, i have a 1911 so i'm ok.

I agree with a previous poster that most people don't know the difference between OC and CC. In TN you have to have a permit to do either.

But with the idea that most people don't know the difference...I would think it was the owner's intention to ban guns in whole. Not knowing that someone could even OC.

Have you gone? I would wager when/if you do the end result will be him changing his sign to ban all weapons/guns.
