I don't believe for a second that anyone specifically targets these places because there is or isn't a sign posted saying "No CCW". They are simply venues where they can be guaranteed to have plenty of targets of opportunity.

Yeah pretty much have to agree on that. In two cases the students had attended those schools so it is obvious why they targeted them. In the church shootings in Colorado IIRC there was a connection there too.
Not to say someone with CCW would not have helped the situation. It sure did in Colorado Springs.
But if CCW's are more prominent and if an establishment advertised they were welcome, say a restaurant. I doubt some robber is going to target that restaurant.
My wife used to own a donut shop right off the 105 freeway. She gave free coffee to police officers and they hung out there a lot. Guess what? Even though she was only 4 offramps down the 105 from Compton. She was never robbed.
