#8 Exactly
#’s 11, 18, 19 idiots
I remember a Chris Rock joke, “Don’t go to parties with metal detectors, sure you feel safe inside, but everyone outside knows you don’t have a gun now.”
#18:
“Spoken like a typical Hummer owner that just saw his precious little beauty repossessed.”
lol, wut?
I’m a student, and I’m saving up some money to make repairs to my fully-paid-with-cash car.
I fully obey the signs that are posted like that at any business. I just don’t go inside.
I carry legally where I can. I don’t do business with institutions that post no-carry signs. And if all else fails, “concealed means concealed.”
Of course, my concealed firearm must be defective. I’ve been carrying for quite some time and it’s never jumped out and shot anyone. No blood running in my streets either. Weird.
I agree, most countries use better grammar for signs written in their native language.
#25 – It’s just a matter of time before you snap and go postal on everyone. Or maybe that nagging itch of what it would be like to shoot someone takes over. Or, maybe you just need to test it out to make sure it’s still working. Guns don’t kill people. People with guns kill people.

That was either sarcasm and we all know that does not work in print or the stupidest thing ever said in history. A new record for sure.
what that sign really says is ” there are no armed citizens in here, please feel free to use it as a free-fire zone”
It’s useless to try to reason with gun nuts. We’ve all seen the statistics, gun nuts and non-gun nuts alike, that guns are more likely to be turned on the gun owners themselves. Whether it be accidental, suicide, or just shooting their teenage son sneaking in after a late night thinking he’s an intruder, guns are more likely to harm the owners than any bad guys.
And each one of those people who suffered those tragedies said, just like our gun nuts here are saying now, “That will never happen to me.”
*Shrug* What can you do? It’s worth the risk to them, just like someone who smokes around their children. It increases the risk to them and their children, but it’s a free country.
And frankly, from talking to a few myself, I think carrying a gun gives them such a woody that they’d be extra careful not to do anything to screw up and lose their carry permits. I’d have to see a lot of incidents of legal carriers shooting people to make it worthwhile to ban it, and I haven’t seen that yet.

Yes obviously more than 1.5 million people have their guns turned against them. Because 1.5 million is the number of guns use in self defense according to this study by the National Institute of Justice (which was funded by the U.S. Department of Justice):

So want to present your neutral (actually the U.S. DoJ is more against guns then for them) source evidence showing your point?
#30 Fido – You are right of course. But it’s more fun to poke them with a stick and watch ‘em swarm around.
When guns are outlawed, only people with guns are outlaws. ha
Guns are art.
#31 Eh… especially now after Obama got elected, the wingnuts are mad enough for me, no extra provocation necessary.
Would be funnier if it had some bullet holes in it.
>guns are more likely to harm the owners than any bad guys.
You are more likely to die in the hospital than outside of one. So clearly you should not go the hospital.
I hear that having a parachute makes one more likely to die. Perhaps I’ll just skip the parachute when I go skydiving.
It’s more likely that the signs are put up to control legal liability by the facility. If some lunatic goes in and shoots up the place, at least they can fall back on “we told people they weren’t allowed to bring guns in!”
As many have said, it’s probably pointless but in our litigious society, sometimes pointless things get done.
#36 MikeN, why do you even bother? We all know the story. Just man up and admit that it’s risky, but you’re willing to accept the risk.
#37,
“It’s more likely that the signs are put up to control legal liability by the facility. ”
If their CCW laws are anything like Ohio’s., they took care of that. Ohio’s was writen that they’re not liable if they have it posted or not. This was done to cover both sides. Anti-gun say they would sue if someone used a gun and didn’t have the sign. Pro-gun said they would sue if you did have a sign and I then could defend myself.
In Ohio it’s is trespassing for ignoring the sign except were prohibited by law (ex. Fed builds, school, ect.) then it’s a felony. Like most said I just shop elsewhere but haven’t seen a lot of them. Wonder if that office building in FL. had one.
