Agree. But if you knew that was the only sign, it isn't "OK" by virtue of the sign, but it isn't prohibited as the only sign doesn't invoke a prohibition.

Something that is irrelevant to our CHL can neither grant nor deny permission...

It would be about as logical as listing non-sex offenders on a website designed to help people identify sex offenders.

Still disagree.

Re: cumbersome, not really, that's what search functions ajre for. Let the computer do the work.

Re: sex offenders, it is different. The list of offenders is assumed to be complete. There is no value in listing non offenders. The list of off limits location for concealed carry is no where close to complete. Listing non posted locations could be useful. Agree not for every gas station, you can go across the street to another. But for popular restaurants, entertainment venues, etc, it has value. The usage of the off limits list is different from the offender list. You have to consider the completness of the data and how it is used.

I guess it depends on how each of us intend (or would like to) use the tool

Isn't going to happen. As stated, it is too cumbersome to maintain. We moderators have to approve EVERY entry that is submitted, so would be too much to weed through for us.

ETA: listing a place on such a site as being ok to carry because of the absence of a 30.06 sign is a really bad idea as a 30.06 sign could go up the next day. By limiting listings to incorrectly posted locations and locations with legitimate 30.06 signs you are assured readers are getting up to date accurate information. I see no reason why the sign the OP mentioned (or the gas station) would need to be listed.

Because if there is no listing, you don't know if there is a valid 30.06 sign or not. Listing an 'unlicensed possession....' sign confirms carry is OK.

Not necessarily. A business could post both.
