Identity politics bull. It doesn’t work anyway.
I will not change my behavior based on someone else’s political views. That’s what Libs do.

It’s not ‘Giving’ them money.
It’s exchanging money for goods and services.

O.K., but many businesses post non-compliant signs (in my opinion) to keep the hand wringing, knuckle biter anti-gun types from going bonkers with worry, all the while knowing CHLers will legally come in.

If that's true then educating them hurts nobody.

Nor will it help anyone.

There may be some validity in the idea that some businesses intentionally post invalid signs to appease their anti gun employees and customers. Knowing that licensees will know the law and still carry concealed, while the anti gunners will be blissfully comforted and none the wiser.

I think it’s fair to say that anyone who takes the time to read and understand the law, and can recognize the sign is invalid is likely a law abiding person and therefor is not a threat to their business.
Also, people who have read and understand the law probably also know that no sign can protect them from an armed criminal who doesn’t care about the stupid sign.

Why correct a non compliant sign?
I care neither for the business’ opinion of guns or intent of the invalid sign. I care about the law. If I can legally carry there, I will. My reason for carrying is for personal self defense. This reason is not impacted by the business owner at all.
If I can’t legally carry there, I’ll take my business elsewhere. Not for any political “I’m boycotting you” reason, I couldn’t care less about their opinion. I’ll go elsewhere simply because I don’t want to disarm myself. Unless I have no choice (nowhere else provides the goods or services I’m after). But that’s probably a rare occasion that I have yet to come across.
