During the Thanksgiving Holiday I took my family to visit the Tonto Creek Arizona Game & Fish Hatchery because we happened to be in the area & my children love to learn about all types of wildlife. To my dismay, I noticed that they had a sign up declaring the site to be a gun free zone (actually it just said no deadly weapons of any kind are allowed, but it still means the same thing). What the heck? Do they think that sign would keep a deranged psychopath from coming onto the site to shoot at fish in their hatchery? Or even worse, would it stop a deranged maniac from shooting the other visitors? Anyone bent on committing criminal acts is going to ignore the stupid sign, so only the law abiding become disarmed & easy prey. It makes disarmed visitors at the site easy prey - easier than shooting fish in a barrel as they say.
Below is the website for that hatchery, I don't see the gun free zone policy mentioned on their website. I have not visited the other hatcheries, but would not be surprised to see they have the same signs up at all of them.

How do we get this stupid policy revoked?
