The gun-free zone! [Read]
Or don't.
I don't know if they post against customers as well, but I find their policy against employees to be typical corporate risk management cowardice über alles [who put those bloodless weasels in charge?.
Now that they've made sure their policy has been advertised so thoroughly, they've created such a dangerously attractive environment for predators that I can't justify the risk of putting myself in it, armed or not.

Who needs "AutoZone?"
AutoZone essentially just posted a national "rob us" notice.

Dear sirs:
I will be taking my business to O’Reilly, Advance, or Pep Boys after reading reports that you fired Mr. Devin McClean of Virginia for acting responsibly and courageously in the face of an immediate and credible threat to himself, his colleagues, and your property. I will reconsider my decision if and when you rescind your zero-tolerance policy prohibiting your employees from bearing firearms in your stores.
Sincerely,
