It's my understanding both of these places have to post signs to keep you from carring there

That is true now, but it was not true when the CHL statute was first passed. It has been revised that most of the places that were automatically off limits are now required to post in order to be off limits. The following from that list must now post:

Hospital or nursing home
Amusement park
Church, ...

The others are still automatically off limits:

51% sign
sporting events
correctional facility

No, they could not. Likewise, neither could Floyd's barber shop.

I will let those more versed in the statutes respond with why it has become concensous that private entities can post a parking lot and bar you from carrying - but we have gone over that before and that was the conclusion. My response is that it is NOTHING like a city or other government agency blocking CCW. There are more restrictions on what governmental agencies can do in this matter than there are for private businesses.
