The sign is driven by the FCCA. A business owner is allowed to carry outside the scope of the FCCA by following the (Aggravated) Unlawful Use of Weapons exemptions--which existed long before the FCCA was published. So the owner isn't carrying pursuant to 430 ILCS 66/65, which is cited on the sign, and is therefore still compliant with the law. Thank you, that sounds good. I was telling one of his employees that he needs to take that sign down if he wanted to carry, so I was mistaken.

I guess I didn't explain it correctly. A person owns a business. That person puts an Illinois State approved "no firearm" sticker on the doors, making the building a legal compliant "gun free zone". Does the owner of the business have the right to carry a firearm in that business? If the business is "posted", who has the right to carry in said business?

I have a question for the group. A freind of mine has a company in Franklin Park. Their work force is prodomenatly Hispanic. They are having a hard time getting workers because they [company] runs a criminal back ground check for all new hires. Most of these men can't pass the back ground checks. Since they have all these "ex-cons" (for lack of a better term) coming in to fill out applications they put the sticker on the front door (insane right) so if any of the job searchers might have a gun on them they will leave it in the car. BUT being the conservitive that he is, he wants to get his CCL. He thinks that since he owns the property he exempt from this and will be able to carry on the premissis. What do you all think?
