Any way a person wants to carry their firearm once OC or even constitutional carry gets passed is completely up to them. No one is trying to take the ability to CC the firearm if they so choose. So why are the CHL guys so bitter about the thought of OC?
The CHL guys are convinced that we will see 30.06 signs proliferate, thus further limiting their ability to CC. IMHO, we shouldn't be going for "open carry", but instead should be going for *constitutional carry*. That way, we can open carry when appropriate, and concealed carry where required/appropriate. No license necessary.
I think that if a company wants to post a 30.06 sign, they should be required to pay an annual fee for the privilege, and the state should make the signs. They could even use a system similar to automobile registration where the annual fee buys a sticker that they actually put on the sight to show that their posting is current. The fees would only apply to an individual location (and would NOT be available as a group license),and each site application must be made individually. This would probably cause enough inconvenience to keep posting to a dull roar, and would only apply to retail locations, or locations where the customer is required to enter in order to conduct business, and would omit non-retail corporate sites.
To appease locations that are already posted before the date the bill is signed, they would be grandfathered into the system for the first year. After that, they must register their sign in order for it to be valid.
