Those store policies have no legal authority over anything. If you have CCW or whatever law your state has for carrying outside of your home or vehicle, just follow that and completely ignore a meaningless sign on a store window.
The penalties depend on the state. If you are caught carrying in a place of business that has posted a no firearms sign, management can ask you to leave. There is no penalty except leaving the place of business. If you refuse, you are now subject to the charge of criminal trespass.
There are other states that the "no firearms" sign carries force of law.

Not in Montana! The day that happens would be a scary day indeed.
