Man I hate these signs. I was so tempted to peel it off and replace it with an NRA sticker.
So you rewarded them with your money. No consequences to them at all.
Spend your money elsewhere. The only way to win this is to make it cost them! To do otherwise rewards them.
Although the sticker has no legal weight...

I'm just curious, has this ever gone to court? Is there case law to back it?
My "GUESS" would be that the sign gives "constructive notice" that entering contrary to the sign would be a trespass.
The real questions are what is a lawful condition and is the sign a notice of trespass. It is a stretch under Wa law to connect the two plus how can anyone prove you actually saw the sign. I for one do not shop where my firearm is not welcome.
it.
I was with my better half. That's all there is to it.
snip/ If I ever get married/significant other again, and they ask me to go into a place like that. I will open the door let them go in, and advise them to find a ride home (just not mine).
It may be a stretch, but will a local city atty attempt to make it? I personally cannot afford criminal charges as the career field I want to enter is competitive enough.... Other people have to keep security clearances etc and a criminal charge can cause problems there. The old saying "you may beat the rap but you won't beat the ride" may come into play.
I'm not saying it will happen, only that it could, and that If an aggressive prosecutor files the charge having to hire a lawyer and go to court can be costly.... And to me it's not worth it, I'm not willing to risk anything like that to spend money at a business that's posted written notice that they don't want it

Not a valid excuse, in my book. Does she keep your voting pen in her purse also?[/COLOR]
because the sad truth is you could be arrested just about anytime.
Every hospital I know of has a no firearm sign on the door/window at entry. If you need medical help are you guys all going to stick to your guns and not patronize the medical establishment or would you cc in there? What if you were entering with a loved one (or to see a loved one)? (Or are there hospitals that don't have this signage that I don't know about?)
