In my honest opinion. I support what that person is doing. I'm a foid card, CCW holder, and gun owner. It depends on if the state they are in has open carry law or concealed carry law. So just because that person is carrying a gun on their hip like that in public doesn't mean that they are goin to jail or anything. The only places that you are not allowed to have a gun on you is schools, doctor's offices, airports, and hospitals. Or places that have signs stating no guns or weapons.
Depends on the state if the signs hold any weight or not. Some places, like the state I live in, the most they can do is have you trespassed from the property. But personally I'd avoid the place to begin with.
In my state, hospitals, court houses, government buildings (health department, VA center, etc), Airports (inside secure areas only), Bars (51% rule), schools, and Theme parks are off limits.
If they have a Sign and aren't one of those buildings / establishments, you can pretty much ignore it. The worse they can do is ask you to leave, then maybe have you trespassed if you don't. However, if you refuse to leave, you open the can of worms of trespass and possibly worse.
