Talked to a police officer he said yes it would start the first,unless a new injunction or something else happened. It wont help me i drive a company truck so both ms and al new law wont do me any good when im working.

And this is exactly why we need to have concealed carry. If I was a restaurant owner, I wouldnt just have an "Employees dont have access to the safe" sign, I would post one that says "Concealed Carry Permit Holders get 5% Discount"!

Not very many here in AL post their establishments with 'No Firearms' signs.
You will likely not even find one.

MS however has them popping up all over the place due to the big mess they have going on with their new Law.
The Brady Bunch did a huge email/mail and phone Scare Tactic Campaign, telling business owners that it would lead to Wild West Shootouts.
And way too many fell for it.

Waffle House is anti-gun on a corporate level, most stores have a 'No Firearms' sign posted, but often inconspicuously.
But many individual stores couldn't care less if you're packing OC or CC.

I did not know it was visible and did not know it was even a problem but was asked to leave immediately. There are very few places that I go without my weapon (thanks to a bad trip to one of my work locations in Memphis). I respect the right of a business to not want weapons in their establishment but like the post said earlier they are letting the would be robbers know that they will be the only one armed. I personally have not been back to BWW since the incident and probably won't go back. On a better note, the Chinese place in Anniston that I ate at tonight gives you a discount if you show them your concealed carry permit (5%).

Heck, I would be contacting BWW corporate, BWW is supposed to be friendly to all legal carry.
The next ALOC, 'Alabama Open Carry', meeting here in Mobile is supposed to be at BWW.
And many other ALOC regions hold their Meet & Greets at BWW.
I foresee an apology from the store's management and possibly a comped meal.

If a business has a anti-gun No Guns Allowed sign, then by all means do not patronize them.
But make sure they know that you're not and why. There are some nice business card that can be handed out doing just that.

Going in anyways can get you 'Trespassed', and entering after that happens is 'Criminal Trespass'.
In AL you must be formerly trespassed, informed by the business and LE that you're no longer welcome allowed on the property.
If an officer tries to arrest you for trespass without this happening first, you've a settlement coming for unlawful arrest.
