Does anyone know if such a sign means that they DO have the right to detain you (from a legal POV)?

Absolutely not. A store cannot just put up a sign saying "US or State jurisdiction ends at our front door, and the law no longer applies within our store." and then to conduct business as such.

Granted, they CAN put up the sign.....but they cannot be free from legal ramifications for attempting to enforce their own rules outside the scope of the jurisdiction they reside.

When Ron Paul did the Google interview thing, he mentioned that the state shouldn't supress the citizen's right to bear arms, but if GOOGLE wanted to, they could say "no guns on google property" because it's private property. This is (seemingly?) the opposite of what you just said, no?

Do you think they get to throw you in a dungeon if you break their rules? No, of course not, they simply eject you from their property.
