We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

I already refuse to shop in any Kenosha county shop for other reasons. If I could get to Chicago with out going through that he11 hole I would.

An armed society is a polite society.
Popularized by Robert Heinlein in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, 'there ain't no such thing as a free lunch' means that there's nothing free, especially when there's a taxpayer's pocket to pick.

it is interesting how quickly the police will line up to oppose your rights, and try to influence others to do so as well.

Will be posting this in the comments.
From the article: "Just don`t need it to turn into the O.K. Corral at my gas station one night, so I just feel better to be safe and put the 'no gun' sign in here," Perrine said.
AND HOW DOES A SIGN PREVENT THAT? Disarming innocent people does not protect innocent people. Feeling safe because you posted a sign is a delusion.
Also are tax dollars paying for the signs? If so I see a conflict of interest here. The sheriff is elected to uphold the laws of the state, not use tax dollars to further his/her personal bias.

I don't think that is legal for them to do that?

Exactly my thought, didn't the Milton PD get in trouble for that a while ago? At the very least these officers are being paid by the taxpayer while they're handing these things out, even if it's a simple "They're over there on that rack" or "Go ahead, they're on the counter" when the sheeple stop to pick 'em up.
Odds are they're made on paper provided by the taxpayer on equipment paid for by the taxpayer in a building provided by the taxpayer by someone who's wages are being paid by the taxpayer....hmm...I'm noticing a trend here.

Wait wait wait, you hate Kenosha county but willingly enter Chicago? That doesn't make much sense to my brain.

Jeff, dont you know that the law does not apply to the law enforcers?
Some good points...
...of interest. The tax payers are most likely paying, and when, or if something were to happen, God forbid, it will be tax payers to the rescue. If this is legal, the police will have full liability. lets call the town hall. boar out. Calling City Attorney as tax payer, asking why police are causing a liability issue to people who post! (262-653-4170) Made call, the one to talk to was on other line. Has been 1/2 hour, nothing. Further, printed sign on line, at bottom, KENOSHA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

i wonder if the police will share in the legal liability the store owner will be exposed to if an incident happens in the building(?), posted no guns.

The only silver lining here is at least its a good sign for us to notice, if printed out in a full sheet of paper.
I'd rather have that then the bare minimum that I might miss.
Of course i'm against them playing politics with tax payer money.

Should offer substitute signs that include "THIS INCLUDES OFF-DUTY POLICE OFFICERS AND ON-DUTY POLICE OFFICERS WHOSE PRESENCE IS NOT PART OF THEIR OFFICIAL DUTIES". Note the wording Kenosha uses would provide exemption for "others" authorized by law, like police officers.
