Yep. Thats how I choose to read it.
It says unauthorized weapons. A carry permit gives you the authority to carry a deadly weapon, wherever legal.
That's how I'm reading it. Unauthorized was a poor choice of words.

That's how I interpret it. Besides, concealed means concealed. I was in there today and I was carrying. No big deal

Maybe not. Maybe they're being purposefully vague. The sign went up yesterday cuz it wasn't there the day before. I'm pretty certain it was placed there in preparation for October 1st.
Appears to be another way of wording to allow CCW with permit (“authorized”) without offending non-gun folks. Much like the wording used by Walmart and Martins.

I agree and this is how all pro 2A businesses should do it.
Conversely, a sign like this is going to piss off quite a few potential customers in Maryland.

I agree. Of course the wording is deliberate. They went out of their way to NOT say simply "No Weapons." They obviously intend to say "Authorized Weapons are Not Disapproved," which is good Maryland English.
This is basically identical to the signs at Walmart and Martin's Grocery, which are discussed in the other thread.
The fact that this sign just appeared days before October 1 tells me it is deliberately intended to address the requirements of that law.

Cool and meaningless sign…

No, it's a very meaningful sign.
This is good, clear, straightforward Maryland English.
I don't understand why people find it confusing.

This. With a permit, you’ve been authorized by the state to carry. That sign works for me

I couldn't find Maryland English in my OED, hon.

I'm authorized. My permit says so.

Hahahaha, always enlightening to ponder the rationale that makes signs so …. so, “powerful”
