If it is a privately owned business, I would think they should still have that right.

I completely agree that 30.06 needs to apply only to concealed carry, having nothing to do with open carry. My concern is that having two different signs will actually produce more 30.06 signs. If I am an anti-gun business owner, and I go through the trouble of putting up a 30.07 sign, why wouldn't I go ahead and put up a 30.06 as well? And if we made a sign that worked for both 30.06 and 30.07 (call it 30.08 for the sake of argument), why wouldn't I post that sign to save space? Even if you are given a verbal warning, I would assume it applies to all forms of legal carrying. I guess that is the inevitable consequence? Am I missing something?

I'm certainly in favor of open carry, but I think it is going to have at least a temporary backlash on concealed carry. I think it already has.
