Of course, what I'm going to say here is my own personal opinion and YMMV. However, if a place has the current (old) 30.06, I won't carry there. If they have a new 30.06 sign but no 30.07 sign, I won't carry there. If they have a 30.07 sign only, I will concealed carry there. The reason I won't open carry past any 30.06 sign is I am not playing a dangerous game. That game is called "MWAG" phone call, perhaps brought to you by some anti-2A, anti-self-defense type. I understand the intent of the signs, I understand the intent of the law, I understand the hard work that Mr. Cotton and some of the legislators put in this session, I understand that "a right not exercised is a right lost". And yet, I worry about nervous police officers who have been given incorrect information by who knows what person for who knows what reason. Also, I am a man of modest means who cannot afford to defend himself against an overzealous ADA who needs a notch in the proverbial belt, just so I can shop in some particular establishment. I carry because my life, and those of my family, are worth more than my possessions and my bank account, but I can find a different establishment that wants my money if one particular one does not. And I can almost guarantee that certain people in this state are working on methodology to instruct certain police forces in how to cause maximum problems for those who OC, especially if any sort of MWAG calls come in. All that said, I believe that few places will put up signs at all and it will largely be a moot issue, if you stay out of certain large municipalities. Like I said, YMMV.
