terryg,

Ignore those who attempt to censor that which THEY happen to find repetitive - No one forces them to read any thread.

I liked our discussion of this topic.

I understand the desire to have businesses remove anti-gun signs, but they will post them if they so choose.

Your frustration will not force them to bend to your will, but yes, you can complain to these businesses if you so choose. Yes, there's an infinitesimal chance your complaint will persuade them, but I think doing so does increase the chance of the signs being made compliant.

Yes, I understand the philosophy of: "Better to light a candle, then curse the darkness", but doing so in this case provides an endless supply of windmills to tilt at...

I guess what I'm trying to say is there are only so many causes one can spend energy on and this one provides a lifetimes worth with no chance of persuading all (or even very many) to comply with your wishes.

It's an imperfect world and you can rail against it's injustice, but in the end you'll just end up tired and the signs will go on being posted.

Here's one other consideration: If I owned a business and was firmly anti-gun, I would be willing to sacrifice some business to honor my principles. That being said, no gun nut (as I'm sure that's how most anti's think of us gun people) could persuade me to change my mind.

I made a posting error, to wit:

There are many, many businesses with non-compliant no gun signs and you can simply ignore them. Boldly walk right on by with your concealed carry because you have a CHL and "those signs are meant for you"

I meant to say: those signs "AREN'T" meant for you

If the sign is non-compliant, leave well enough alone.

There are many, many businesses with non-compliant no gun signs and you can simply ignore them. Boldly walk right on by with your concealed carry because you have a CHL and those signs are meant for you. They aren't legally enforceable, but if you make an issue about it, there's a higher likelihood they'll comply with your notice and make them so.

Is that what you really want?

Let sleeping dogs lie.

If you want to raise Cain about no gun signs - Raise it the enforceable 30.06 signs, not the harmless ones that don't apply to you anyway.)

There are those among us who think non-compliant signs satisfy a corporate mandate, but wink-wink, someone in corporate knows they're unenforceable and realize those in the know (knowledgable CHLers) will simply walk past them with nary a ruffled feather...

P.S. Yes, I appreciate any no gun signs are annoying, but so are many things in life - In this instance it's best to simply suck it up and go about our business without attracting attention to something that could worsen with our insistence it be noticed.
