Bachlorjoe:
So from what I understand, when you sign up for a membership you are agreeing not to carry. So they do not put signs up. I still go there about once a month and I do carry, but I am not a member my wife is. I have not agreed to their policies and there is no sign up so I don't see why I can't walk right on in as my wife's guest.

Gary:
I am not a lawyer, and I don't play one on TV, but my thinking is if a store is not playing by the letter, and the intent of the law, they have no way of blocking people from being law abiding.  No sign on the door, no restrictions?  Not that simple?

If a store sends everyone in the state a certified letter saying to stay out with Concealed carry, and does not place a simple sign on entry doors, saying no Concealed Carry, what weight would the Certified letters hold?

Statute 69-2441 (2) says the notice can be made "directly".    I have not been teaching this in my CHP classes, but I guess, maybe I should add that. 

jFader:
Hahaha.  Catch me if you can!  I don't think that there would be anything legally enforceable on you...
I would also imagine that they would give you a warning before suspending your membership. I almost switched to Costco before I entered the ccw lifestyle....not now! Sams club all day!

Bucket:
Regardless of the law, if it's clear the business doesn't want anyone carrying then that ought to be respected.  It's one thing if it's not properly signed and people inadvertently carry into the store, but to just ignore the wishes of the ownership because seems disrespectful to me.  I've been a member at COSTCO for 20 years.  There are some good deals in there and I enjoy shopping there.  It's no big deal to leave my handgun in the car when I go there.   If I felt otherwise, I would simply refrain from shopping there rather than play amateur gun lawyer.   Just because you can get away with it doesn't mean you should, IMO.

Which is why I respect their wishes and won't spend a single dollar in their stores to help them further denigrate the Second Amendment.  NO GUNS, NO MONEY.  Sam's Club, by the way, has no issue with those who wish to be able to protect themselves while in their stores.
