Re: IKEA heck

I've been to that IKEA many times in the past, looked up and down for a 30.06, saw their generic gunbuster sign, and walked past it. The location that sign is in was empty just a few weeks ago.

I can honestly say, this is probably a direct result of OCT's shenanigans. I've been going to that IKEA for years now, and they JUST NOW decide to put one up?
It's not coincidence.

I'm completely angry at OCT now, as I USED to be able to legally carry in this location, and now cannot most likely because of their news coverage. People say that public demonstrations won't cause this sort of thing, well here's one example of it happening.
Correlation does not equal causation. Unless and until IKEA announces that OCT's antics caused them to put up the sign, it could as well be my letter to them (corporate) stating why I don't shop there any more.

I will be so glad when there is a fine for non-compliant signs.
I agree with fining government entities that post in violation of the law.

I do not agree with fining private businesses for posting a non-compliant sign for two reasons. First, if there is a fine involved, that will incent corporate counsel to ensure non-compliant signs are removed and replaced by compliant signs. Thus removing a potential defense to prosecution.

Law of unintended consequences.
I say make them post the compliant signs, and include a definition of "clearly visible to the public" that keeps them from: A, just posting one sign when there are multiple entrances; and B, posting the sign in such a way that it is not readily visible from all approaches to a particular entrance.

Either way, I don't see any unintended consequences.
