Two points, please.

1. I respect private property. So if the owner has a “no guns allowed” sign I will simply shop elsewhere. Note that I’m talking about private property here. The government has very limited authority to negate the 2A on public property. So if a citizen wants to carry while at a park or post office, that should be perfectly legal. Unfortunately, it’s not.

2. The “no one knows I’m carrying” plan is the way to go. But accidental exposures do happen. That’s why it’s a good idea to know the applicable laws in your area.

In my state, a “no guns allowed” sign at a private business does not carry the force of law. So I ignore such signs. The most they can do is ask me to leave. But in other states the cops can haul you off to jail.

Addendum to my post #24. When a “No guns allowed” sign is prominently displayed at a private business, I get their point. I will not shop there.

It’s the generic signs that I ignore. Those are the ones that list ten different things that are prohibited on the property. No loitering, no this, no that.

I know. My decision tree here seems a bit contradictory.
