Possibly. If they notice you.

But most people will not notice. The years I open carried, 99% of sheeple were totally oblivious to their surroundings. People are walking around with their nose buried in their phone.

If someone in apparent authority does notice or receives a complaint, then I agree it is likely they will give verbal notice.

When I was elsewhere and OC'ing, there was only a couple of times that anyone seemed to notice. It probably helped that I use a Fobus paddle and my arm tended to obscure it unless you were looking from behind me. But after the first few minutes of being sure that everyone knew that I was OC'ing, it got to the point where I was sure that nobody even noticed.

But then again there are some that don't mind concealed carry but don't want open carry. So I guess that's why they have to have two signs. So much for my common sense theory. How about they put both signs on one piece of paper with a perforated line in the middle, and you can cut off the part you don't want.

I think that is exactly right. I think that there are some businesses that don't want their customers to be "alarmed" or "scared" or whatever about a MWAG, but do take that don't ask, don't tell approach so that if you are CC, and nobody complains...there "is no problem." So I think that at least in the beginning there will be a lot of 30.07 signage without 30.06. And slowly those who don't want anyone to carry will realize they need new 30.06 and 30.07, while many will simply put up 30.07 and even take down 30.06 thinking that they don't need both (after all, some legislatures clearly don't read the laws themselves so many business owners also won't).
