That part of town is a little "iffy." Not sure if the good guy had a legal CCW, or not.

i don't get it. If a customer with a gun stopped the robbery, why in hell would the owner now post a "no guns" sign?
As if the robbers would have obeyed it, knowing no one else should be packing.
Idiot.

Next time the robbers will see the sign and put their guns away, then they will appologize and leave. Everyone knows a sign fixes everything. :banghead:

Maybe the shop owner doesn't think he can prosecute without a sign in place. There is also the possibility of placing a sign that states the "unlicensed possesion of a firearm" is illegal. I have seen those around houston in store windows. It just doesn't seem we have all the information to decide what the owner's intent is with the sign or what type of sign.
