It can't be one of those "No guns" icons, the letters have to be a 
certain size, etc. But if they *tell* you personally that they don't 
allow concealed handguns and you don't leave, they can still charge you 
with criminal trespass with or without a sign. (We tried to make the sign
absolutely necessary, but they changed the wording in the legislature so 
that either a sign or a warning is considered sufficient.)
Too bad we don't at least have something like your AZ law, requiring those 
places which prohibit carrying of firearms to have a place to check them. 
If they had to worry about that aspect, most places wouldn't bother to 
post.
