This isn't just a risk of getting fired. Businesses that have "no guns" employee policies but no 30.06 sign can fire you for violating the policy, but you won't face criminal charges over it. Some people choose to carry in such places of employment and risk their jobs, due to some combination of believing they won't be made and believing the risks to self are more important than said job.

Carrying past a valid 30.06 sign at a place of employment is a different issue. It is comparable to carrying past any other validly posted 30.06 sign. I understand that those who posted in the thread said that this particular sign has letters less than 1/2" high and so they would choose to carry past it since it doesn't fulfill the statutory criteria for a valid sign. The comments led me to believe that outside that issue (if it had been 1" lettering) that it was being treated the same way as an employee weapons policy and not like it was being treated as a valid 30.06. I just wanted to make sure the distinction was clearly and unequivocally stated.

And as for a single store inside a mall posting a valid 30.06 sign, I don't see why they couldn't or wouldn't. Just because air conditioned hallways connect their store to other stores doesn't have any bearing on whether their individual entrance to a closed area couldn't be posted. The code clearly separates out parts of buildings, which is usually cited in favor of CHL holders in the case of courts being inside the same building as the water dept but that doesn't make the entire building off-limits. The same reasoning would be logical to apply to a store owner in the mall, assuming he had a right to post. He can legally exclude those parts of the building that he controls and a person can choose whether or not to work or patronize there. I don't see the controversy.
