I was reading in another forum about someone who was asking whether or not the international "No Guns" sign (about a three inch sticker of a gun with a slash through it) was considered a legal posting. The general consensus was that it wasn't, but it was still a notification that firearms weren't welcome, and the armed citizen would still be obligated to leave or be charged with tresspassing.
So I wondered why, in Missouri, that there is a legal requirement that anti-gun signs be 7"x11" with one inch high black letters, but entering the business isn't a crime until you refuse to leave when asked. (I don't patronize those businesses anyway)
I see so many businesses with various different anti-gun signs even though Missouri law defines a standard, and I have come to a conclusion as to why.
When you notice one of those little tiny international "No Gun" signs instead of the required one inch letter sign, it is probably by a business that is riding the fence.
A great big sign, like the one that is required, can be seen for miles. These can be seen from the street where an armed citizen can just drive to the next business. This loudly broadcasts that THIS BUSINESS HATES GUN OWNERS. DO NOT PATRONIZE OUR BUSINESS.
Whereas, those little itty-bitty signs are just hard to see. I have even noticed one that was purple colored and placed on a tinted front door. It was almost invisible. I firmly believe that the businesses that display these are dirty, rotten, money grubbing, cowardly, greedy, SCUM! These businesses want your money......they just don't want you to be armed. But, they'll take your money. If you leave your gun in your car. But, bring your wallet.
These scum suckers don't really want to broadcast that they don't want firearms owners in their stores. Since their signs are so hard to notice, they're banking that you just might pump a tank of gas, or buy a cart of groceries, or purchase.....whatever you might have dropped in to purchase. But the sign is there. You just didn't notice it. So they can come and kick you out, if they feel so inclined,and say, "See, we have a sign!"
These cowards are scared of you and your gun, but they're also scared of losing gun owner's business.
Let them know that you, and all the friends you can tell, won't be giving them any. I have read numerous stories from many great people on this site about confrontations with anti-gun people, LEO's, and idiots in general. That's what it's all about! Stop watching the world go by, and do something! Make up your mind to go into the first business you see with a anti-gun sign and tell the owner (not just the stoned looking high school kid at the register) THE OWNER, that you and anyone you can tell, will not be spending money there. Stop saying you'll do it and DO IT! TODAY! TOMORROW! EVERY TIME YOU SEE ONE!
