Cupcake, could you site a source on this? First I've heard of it. AFAIK, Michigan no gun signs carry absolutely no force of law.
If you are discovered carrying in a business so posted, they can ask you to leave. If you refuse, THEN you are guilty of trespassing. Of course, we shouldn't shop in those places anyway. And if we did, no reason for them ever to see our weapon.
Besides, the same goes even for an unposted business, they can ask you to leave at any time, and if they do so, and you refuse, you are still trespassing. But to my knowledge, ignoring their pitiful sign and entering while carrying does not automatically constitute a crime of any kind.
As to Value City, thought I'd heard they were going out of business (one post here mentions it too). Thought it was chain wide? Maybe just local? Either way, to them, I say.... good riddance!
