That is what I thought. No sign then they can verbally tell you, if at that point you leave there are no issues. The only issue comes if you do not leave upon verbal request.

Which I completely agree with. If I spent my hard earned money to open a business and don't want open carry or anything else its my business and all I should have to do us tell the customer such.

We'll have to disagree on that. The law is very clear on what a business owner is required to do. If they haven't put enough effort into finding out what that requirement is and then implementing it correctly, that's on them.

I am being responsible in that I have put in the effort to know what the law states.
Actually, maybe it isn't clear what is required. We who are the most concerned don't seem to be all that clear about it.

We all believed a valid 30.06 sign was the predicate for a violation, but now, with the changes, at least for a no weapons policy, you need have no sign at all.

If you enter OC, you can be told to leave, or handed a card, and you must. If you are "made" somehow, they know you have a pistol even though you believe it is concealed, or even if they don't know, they can hand you a card with the wording, or tell you, you have effective notice. I wonder if it could be printed in appropriate type and color on a menu to suffice.
Sounds like a great reason to not open the menu. I usually don't bother with the menu at all at places I frequent a lot.
