I have a hard time with the signage, no signage issue. First off there is a lesser of two evils, permit carry only which I do not agree with but at least it’s not a complete ban. Than the total ban, the total ban is of course the worst of the two evils. My question is, and I do not mean to stir the pot and I may grab at a nerve with this, but for some, it often seems that they can justify carrying concealed in a questionable rules location such as many mall locations and the outcome would be no difference between a pro-gun anti gun establishment. Why should these places have the luxury of not taking a true stance either way, but yet have no problem confronting a gun owner and making them look like a fool just because they are not posted? I would consider this to them playing the fence. As I do have a CHP a general rule of thumb for me is if I can’t openly carry there, I wouldn’t conceal there. Granted there are those time to be prudent, but as well to be choosy of where and when to exercise my prudence. If the laws were different I may think differently but I don’t. To me a criminal, especially a known one probably would not CC because that would be a better chance for them to be noticed for illegal position, I have nothing to hide, and do not see where I should have to. I do not mind going out of my way by either going a little farther, or going to more than one store if I have to and give my patronage to a store that is more deserving any way. I understand there are those times we may have to go into an non gun venue, but saying that that should be a manner of personal preference and circumstance rather than just convenience. I really don't see how not making these places pick which side of the fence they are on actually helps gun owners as a whole, because it is anti gun places that actually subscribe and pay contributions to things like the Brady bunch and other screwed up organisations and not knowing there intentions we could be helping them do such.
