All kidding aside,I bet that many of the people who put those signs up really think they'll keep armed criminals out.
No, they are making a political statement.

Since they can't put up "No Republicans" or "No Christians" signs, they have found a group of their political "enemies" the CAN discriminate against.
 
in arizona, they can post a sign or tell you you can't bring a gun inside their business, but the sign does not need to be specific. there are not many business that do not allow firearms. what i see most often is the "no loaded guns" signs at gun shops.

however, by arizona law, if a business decides to ban firearms, they have to provide locked storage for them. obviously, most business do not comply.
 
Something about NC law that's interesting is that it's specifically noted that carrying a firearm off of one's premises during a state of emergency is illegal

§ 14-288.7. Transporting dangerous weapon or substance during emergency; possessing off premises; exceptions.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, it is unlawful for any person to transport or possess off his own premises any dangerous weapon or substance in any area:
(1) In which a declared state of emergency exists; or
(2) Within the immediate vicinity of which a riot is occurring.
(b) This section does not apply to persons exempted from the provisions of G.S. 14-269 with respect to any activities lawfully engaged in while carrying out their duties.
(c) Any person who violates any provision of this section is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.

meaning that arresting persons and taking their firearms as during Katrina is entirely legal.

I don't think this would allow the "authorities" to barge into people's homes and confiscate weapons. What really bothers me about laws like this is it could cause innocent people to be arrested or disarmed who are simply trying to flee an area of unrest.
 
FLORIDA CARRY LAWS MAY CHANGE

Florida's lawmakers are considering making it mandatory that employers allow their employees to have their carry weapons locked in their autos in the company parking lot.

Some larger companies have expressed their feelings against this. One of these is Walmart. I was surprised to read that since I recently read in the American Rifleman's "Armed Citizen" page about a customer entering the deli section to find an irate husband trying to kill his wife - a deli employee - with a knife. The armed customer drew his carry and nailed the perp before he could finish the job. There was no comment as to whether Walmart charged that customer for carrying a weapon on their property.

Here is a copy of a "letter to the editor" that appeared in today's Orlando (FL) Sentinel:

"Regarding (name omitted) comments about someone being so paranoid he can't drive to work without a gun: For more than 20 years our company's handbook has stated, 'Employees may keep weapons locked in their vehicles, providing that such weapons are never exhibited on company property.'

To date we have never had a problem with this policy, nor have we ever denied our employees the right to self-protection while traveling to and from work. Before labeling as paranoid those who want to protect themselves while traveling to and from work, maybe (name omitted) should read some of the Sentinel's fine coverage of the (name omitted) case."

There are still some employers out there with their heads screwed on properly. We Florida "carriers" can only hope the rest of the Florida employers will come on board. Unfortunately, the NRA, nor local politicians, can push these employers too much because they count on them for financial support.

I work in a place with notices on every entrance that weapons are not allowed. I'm praying that new law gets passed. Florida recently enacted the "Castle Law" which now allows a victim to stand and defend, instead of retreating when threatened. Here's hoping...

YES! There is a place for all God's creatures: right next to the potatoes and gravy...
 
In MO, unless it is a govt. building,I don't pay any attention to those signs. If they see the weapon, and that is a big IF, all they can do is ask us to leave. If we refuse, then they can call the law and get us on tresspassing. Get charged enough and they can take your permit. If I need something in there I will usually just go in and drop off a no guns + no money card on the way out.

I just love a quik shop that has gas pumps with a sign. I will push the pay inside button, and then knock on the window untii they come out and take my credit card.
 
"Underwear Mall? Are you ever going back to this mall? ..... because (let's say) a store inside has 10% off on your favorite Chinese built plastic/tin toaster. Is that really a reason for a man to tour the mall?? Please tell me you're there because someone else wanted you to go."

Actually, Hanes mall is the name for the whole building. I used to go to the video game stores, go to Ruby Tuesday in the food court*, go to the bookstores, the bakery where they have giant cookies strait out of the oven & a few other places. I probably won't go back anymore.:( Goodbye cookies.:(

*I LOVE their french fries. They have the spices cooked into them perfectly:) .
