Not long ago there was a post about an incident in a Walmart where a customer who had a CWP decided to unload his weapon so he could show it to someone. He had an unintentional discharge while unloading. No one was injured but if there had been it's likely that someone would have sued the gun's owner, it's manufacturer and the store. A store with a sign might be able to cut it's legal fee losses by requesting to be dismissed from the suit because they had the sign.

To review:
Whole Foods doesn't prosecute shop lifters the first time.
They have signs that say you can't bring a firearm into the store.
Mine's concealed. They don't do a body search or have metal detectors.
I would never break any law on a public forum. So If I were in theory to carry my CCW in Whole Foods and they do catch me carrying than they don't prosecute me. But do ask me to leave.
Summation:
I don't care about the sign.
Thank you OC'ers again for causing more problems than you're worth.

I don't understand this comment...How did the OC'er cause the issue here? At the time of the incident, there were no signs stating "No Firearms", he was never asked to leave by the store, when asked to leave by police he complied.
I don't see what the OC'er did to cause problems here.

Concealed means concealed. If no one sees it, you have no problem.

You would THINK a sgt with the largest municipal police force in the state may have a clue on laws and legalities.
This also illustrates a funny yet sad discrepancy: A black guy can have an encounter with the police, get his ass beaten, right or wrong, and that's the end of it.
A white guy has an encounter with the police, the only thing hurt is his pride, and he files a civil law suit.

And that, my friend, is a prime example of why OC is tactically inferior to CC.

absolutely not true. many criminals get their ass beat and take it, they had it coming.
grabbing some armchair commando by the neck, disarming him all under the color of law, with no legal grounds to do so is pretty damn STUPID.
I do not venture into any area in which I may come into contact with the New Orleans Police. They frighten me as much or more than the criminal element down there does and I'm in LE.
