I want to have a few cards made up that I can carry for giving to businesses that post "no weapons" signs. Looking for feedback on my first attempt. I'm thick skinned, so don't hold back! Thanks in advance!

protias already has some no guns = no money cards, or can tell you where to get the ones he was giving away.

For your design, I don't think linking to the TSA is a good idea.
I'd simply point out that criminals ignore laws, so why would a sign [with a max. $1000 fine] bother them if they're intending to rob & murder,
and also point out that a store that does NOT post has immunity from liability (include the statute reference).

But hey, I and my friends will respect your wishes that we - lawfully-armed citizens who are the proven "good guys" - not spend money in your store.

3 simple messages that maybe even an anti-rights person can understand.

I am a firm believer in the KISS principle...Keep it simple s.....

If you want to design a new "no guns-no money" type card, you need to make it one that can be read and understood in one glance

You might consider a visual on one side, like, the gun in a circle with a slash, and large bold "=" and then a large $ in a circle with a slash.

On the back side you could say something like: "If a law abiding citizen cannot carry for their own, and your, security here, then only criminals will"

That might even be too much....Keep it Simple

We have a pretty simple one in VA. It catches the attention and takes only about 5-10 seconds to read.

Feel free to use it. I was thinking my cards would be two sided, because a picture is worth 1000 words.

I appreciate all of the feedback. I will work on updating mine when I have some more free time. I think it makes sense to have many different versions out there, even though the messages are very similar. If a business owner received many copies of the same card they might think it is only one person responsible. If a business owner received multiple different cards with similar messages, they might start to take the potential impact on business a little more seriously.
