Property Rights vs 2A Rights....

I chose No. Here's why. Though the sign itself, according to the scenario, cannot deny me the legal right to carry my weapon, if I am to assume the laws are indeed laid this way, it can be inferred that the local jurisdiction and zeitgeist places a very high priority on individual rights to include the right of self-defense. I just don't see this place denying the Castle Defense or Stand Your Ground.

So, let's say I conceal carry but get discovered. The proprietor won't be able to call the police because carrying per se is not illegal in this case. However, if he simply deploys his own gun and blows me away, he'll likely have an excellent case by the morals of the state. Even though the sign has no legal force, nevertheless his wishes have been made clear and I went into his property defying them. This makes me an intruder with less than innocent intent, and if he says he felt threatened by my concealed (or even open-carry) gun and blows me away well somehow I think he'll get away with it.
