I'm sure this has already been discussed but this is my thinking about the random "No Firearms" signs you see at private businesses.
Unless they are going to have a metal detector and search everyone, doesn't having a sign like that pretty much say "Hey bad guy! We've got a whole building of law abiding citizens here who are unarmed!"
Wouldn't these signs pose a greater risk than just allowing law abiding citizens to carry their firearms? It's not like a BG has ever seen a sign outside of a business he was going to rob and say, "Oh I better not rob that place with my gun because the pimply teenage shift manager might yell at me." This just doesn't make sense.
If I were a business owner (Especially a convenience store owner) I'd give my staff an extra buck or two an hour if they had a CFP, because not only could I avoid having a dead clerk on my hands but chances are I might have a few less dollars stolen out of the register. Any one want to chime in?
