Mindless, incoherrant drivel. First, few criminals choose busy streets, in broad daylight as the time and place for their criminal activity. And the mere suggestion that openly carrying a firearm would make one a more desirable target for a criminal, compared to an unarmed person is bat crap crazy.
This is why the rational segment of the population needs to get off their collective arses and drown out the noise from the Looney left. We cannot survive this level of stupidity and Orwellian double think for very much longer.
What they most often do is disassemble their intentions until they are close enough to tactically overcome a person with a holstered gun. If they can get within 15 feet of you before announcing hostile intention clearly enough to allow you to legally draw...they'll win, even if you're open carrying.
A major part of effectively using a weapon is situation management. That's more than just "situational awareness." It means always maneuvering so that in any situation you have nullified any opponent's tactical advantage, if not giving yourself the tactical advantage.
In many cases, it means looking at a situation and walking the other way.
Employers Rights
If now sign is posted an employer may ask anyone who is carrying a firearm to leave their premises.
Employer can say No to visitors carrying on their premises. Posted sign required.
Employer can say No to employees carrying on their premises. Company policy may be verbal or written.
Employer can say Yes to employees and NO to visitors. Posted sign required.

Employees Rights To Store Weapon In Vehicle White at Work
Employees have a right to store weapons in their non-company vehicle while at work as long as it is concealed and secured.
Exceptions. Employees may not store in their vehicles at work or carry a handgun on their person at the following locations:
Vehicle owned or leased by a public or private employer (unless employer allows)
Schools (unless school allows)
Private landowners leasing oil, gas, mineral rights (includes land)
Chemical plants, refineries, utility stations (in the secure areas).
Private employers can still restrict employees and non-employees from carrying on their premises.

You're "preaching to the choir" my friend..., but shouldn't be long before someone tries to suggest that preventing anyone from walking into a store with a legally registered gun, as allowed by the law of the land, is impinging on my Constitutional right to bear arms.
If commentator LearnMe doesn't believe in private property, LearnMe also will not understand that private property owners can eject people from their property for myriad personal reasons.
Apparently you didn't see the 2nd link in the OP? It's a list of more than 400 businesses, and many of the listings are large chains (Cinemark, Waffle House, Target, Texas Health Medical Group) that represent hundreds of locations.
So there are literally thousands of businesses, and I know for a fact even that list is incomplete. The hospital I was in this week, that had brand new "no carry" and "no concealed" signs, has 26 locations in the DFW area alone, and it's not even included in that list of 400.
Texan3006 is slacking.
lets dumb this down for the left yet again.
no need for signs because no one can do it
The law says now everyone can do it...
businesses who want to exercise their property rights pu up a sign saying people cant do it..
this means those businesses that DONT put up a sign, you can do it on, which is an INCREASE from the starting point where "no one" can do it..

I agree in property rights, but the debate comes into play
you cant exercise property rights and eject individuals from your property because you simply dont like them.. For example, bakeries cant eject gays, and decide not to build them a cake
But something granted to the people by the Constitution, can all of a sudden be put aside because clearly property rights are more important than guns (which I agree with), but if property rights are first and foremost, then the right not to serve a customer for other reasons, should be respected, even if the mass public disagrees with it and decides to stop being their consumer and thus puts them out of business..
The 2nd amendment does not apply to persons, only to US governments .
um.. no
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
How does a "militia" keep and maintain arms without those arms being carried by people?
how does the first part of the sentence, limit the second part? it doesnt.. In fact the first part explains why the second part is necessary, and it sure isnt limited to "hunting". as the left likes to proclaim.

You watch. 3...., 2...., 1....
Thats only true if you ignore other rights like individual property rights, which would be stupid.
if you admit rights like property rights should be protected, and then argue that gun rights should be limited, than by definition, this would be define as hypocritical.
