It does sound a lot like it, doesn't it?

No, they said they would rather you dont carry but if you do, they wont make a big deal. 7-11 said its fine to ignore the signs, they're just too lazy to take em down I guess.

I suspect the main reason for leaving the signs up is so THEY can determine when to call the law and have you arrested for carrying in a posted business. There are always two sides to every story.
It doesn't work that way. Carrying in. Posted place like 7-11 can only yield a trespass charge if they first ask you to leave and you do not.
There is no "arresting" going to occur unless it is in a place specifically stated in the OKSDA. Even a trespass charge would require you to refuse to leave the premises and have a peace officer summoned. At which point you would pay a $250 fine and that's it.
I have wondered (and I think even voiced on a similar thread once before) if there was a reason that 7-11 had oddly placed gun busters. For example Mustang and NW Expressway has them down by your feet in the center of the door. It's like they HAD to post it, but didn't really want you to notice it. I'm glad they are coming around...I enjoy their coffee much more than On Cue's.
In Oklahoma...
In Texas or Arkansas, don't listen to them telling you to ignore it. If you carry inside the store with a sign on the door, I believe it's a felony. I'd have to look it up to be sure, but I'm to hot, stinky, sweaty and tired to do so right now. Could be different in each place, but I remember looking it up once and realized they take their "anti-gun" signs a whole lot more seriously than we do in OK.
No one here was talking about places other than OK I'm pretty sure.
Just throwing it in there for clarification that the policy does not extend outward.
