Some people...

[TAB]

read the version as of jan 1 2016  reread it... I bold some important texts   so yes, a sign is enough and the punishment increases if you do not leave.

It's a waste of time because TAB is stuck in his regulation rut.

I go back to comprehension:  TAB just doesn't understand plain English.  Beyond that, he is an anti (gun, ferrdom, Constitution) zealot.   Trading your freedoms for fear of lawsuit falls right in line with trading them for a false sense of security.

Since you fear lawsuits so deeply, TAB, are you well prepared to shell out when someone you have stripped of self defense is harmed?

TAB,
Check out Michael Bane's comments on a former American Rifleman writer and his support of Hillary for President.  Think of all that can go wrong there, and compare it to where your thinking takes us.

Besides, the 30.06 clearly states that if you're informed of the signage and you LEAVE the premises, you're good to go and no charges would be forthcoming.

Big deal...

Fortunately I, and TAB, live in Oregon where we can carry ANYWHERE but a Federal building and a courthouse.  The signs don't carry any weight, the only recourse any business has is to ask you to leave if they think you have violated their policy.  If you don't leave you can be charged with Tresspass with a firearm.  As for employees, I don't think you are resonsible for recklessness or willful misconduct (like violating a company policy of shooting oneself in the buttocks). http://www.adamsdrafting.com/negligence-and-gross-negligence/

Georgia is very similar, but now we can carry in municipal buildings (including courthouses) if there is not a manned metal detector. As soon as the law passed, our county administration building and courthouse installed detectors and pay SO deputies to man them during business hours.
