We had this same problem a few years ago in TX, until the Texas State Rifle Asso. started calling for formal boycotts of some and they felt the pain. These signs are rare now.

I've only seen one sign in Michigan. It was on a Concentra Health Clinic. Funny part was, it was posted on the inside of the smoked glass window. You could not see it from outside. I noticed it after I was leaving.
Jay's Sporting Goods in Clare and Geylord on the other hand has a large sign that says something like "Concealed Handguns Proudly Permitted"
Pretty cool and real safe store.

There was a problem a few years ago with some businesses here in South Florida pulling that crap. My gun club used to take a Saturday morning and "meet for breakfast" at Denny's. All forty of us would walk in and ask to be seated. Then just as this was being done one of us would "notice" the sign and we'd all just get mad and storm out and go to the next Denny's with a sign. Later we did the same thing to Blockbuster Video stores. Worked like a charm.
In Florida the way this works is that any business posting a sign has got to first "detect" the person with the weapon. Then they are asked to leave the premises. If they return the same day with the weapon still in their possession and are again detected, they can be arrested for the misdemeanor offense of "Trespass After Warning." Does anybody know if this is the case in Ohio?
