I don't see one sticker, over a sign that's invalid anyways, as stickering up a business, but, to each their own. I see the flaw in it, but I don't see it as a BAD idea.

Out of compliance: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=81389
You already said it was vandalism. That isn't much of a good idea.

That is an example of an invalid sign. But it is not out of compliance with any regulation or statute. Which bodes the bigger question, what penalties do you want written into the states laws for a sign about firearms? Do you suggest a law that says "All printed text on your storefront, about firearms, must be either a valid 30.06 sign, valid 30.07 sign, or valid TABC. All other firearm text will be punishable"? I don't see that happening.

What do you think they will have learned? That their sign was bad or that gun owners are bad? I suspect the latter. Knowingly vandalizing a store will only set back any OC cause. And a owner/manager with a good feel for property rights would rightly mount some cameras in the right place and help any subsequent vandals to give their money to the courts as well. This is lose, lose for gun folks of any stripe.
It was just a thought. Anyone with a better idea, to keep businesses compliant with state law, can feel free to speak up. My opinion is too many people on here, are willing to have their rights violated, to simply stay under the radar, to avoid confrontation. Sometimes confrontation, is the only way to get things right. I haven't run into the issue, so it's not a problem for me as of now...but others are running into the issue. I guess everyone can run their fingers online, and be happy being violated, until it happens in person. I guess we'll see :patriot:
