How is this possible?

I know for a fact that MolsonCoors properties are posted "NO GUNS", having seen the sign on the gate of the main Coors facility in Golden just a few days ago.

His weapons identified as knives shortly before entry, exploiting a loophole in the signs...

He probably misinterpreted why the sign was posted, just as you have.

I think he interpreted it correctly. "Free Kill Zone"

Yup- NO GUNS sign provided courtesy of the tassel loafer corporate legal and insurance team, who have guaranteed that any effective form of self-defense has been eliminated for employees under penalty of immediate termination.

What did I miss?

Six dead, including shooter, in rampage at Milwaukee campus of Molson Coors brewery

The shooter was armed with two handguns, one with a silencer, according to a police source. Silencers or suppressors are legal in 42 states, including Wisconsin. They must be registered with the federal government under the National Firearms Act. According to the latest report from the ATF, more than 29,333 are registered in the state.

Crime involving the devices is relatively rare, according to an often-cited study that said about 150 cases involving silencers were prosecuted in federal court from 1995 to 2004.
