There is a distinct difference between the obligation and justification for reporting something that is illegal and something the is ill advised, unenforceable or not desirable.

Kiddkop, One last question for you. Would you wear your gun past an noncompliant unenforceable sign to go ask the owner to clarify his actual intent?

I think it would be interesting to see how many believe notification is best.

One can find some good comments in this thread regarding sign speciifics and intent. At least one of them is a real bona fide attorney and doesn't just play one on here.

I'm speechless.

This trying to respect their wished line is just crap. Just don't walk past a no guns sign with a gun. You still get to make your decision and so does the property owner.

Your comment about people wanting to carry anywhere they want has nothing to do with this topic.

Fortunately, you don't get to tell me what to do and i don't care if you think respecting wishes is crap.

My comment concerning some people's wishes was just stating a fact that I was unaware of. I am new to the site and a waiting LTCer...I thought I would learn a little at a site like this and I was correct!

I didn't say what you said I said. I said the line is crap. If you really want to respect their wishes you just wouldn't carry past the no gun sign. You say you want to confront them. That isn't respecting their wishes.

I also am not telling you what to do. (Haven't had to say that since about third grade), I'm telling you confronting the business owner and educating him is counterproductive.

If you really wanted to respect their decision, you would just not carry past a sign whether it was enforceable or not.

First off, it's not unlawful signage. Second, what exactly do you think telling them is going too accomplish?

Who said anything about exploiting anyone or playing lawyer? If someone puts a sign up that says no guns and you don't want to go against their wishes or exploit them, turn around and leave. What good does it do to bring it to their attention they have a non-compliant sign?

Don't push them and educate them a la OCT.

By the way, the one that may feel bullied is the clerk or business owner that is being confronted by someone that may or may not have a gun on them asking them why they have a no gun sign up.

Some are willing to cut off their nose to spite their face. Sad how telling someone off is more important than doing the right thing. If you don't want to shop somewhere, don't. Why take a chance on screwing it up for others?

By the way, it doesn't do anyone or our cause any good to be saying everyone with a no gun sign up is an anti-gun nut.
