Would you carry where its a no guns sign

[monitor51]

I see it has been mentioned several times, if there isn't a law on the books that says I can't, I won't. Other I'll take note of the sign and make sure they don't know I have it.

I won't say if I do or don't but I will say it's totally ridiculous to be required to unload and register your weapon at a gun show of all places.

I'm sure someone will try to paint me a reason why (I really don't care) but you could buy the ammo inside the show and mags, etc. and go on a rampage. I pitty the fool who does such a thing as other attendees are surely armed as well.

This guy won't always be there to save the day either.

I've always found it odd as well. But, with all of the folks coonfingering (that's the technical term) the guns all day, it might reduce the NDs to a tolerable level. Well, other than the NDs OUTSIDE when folks are unloading/reloading. Wish they would provide a safe place......

Just so you all know...this is all just opinions, we have different ones from time to time...but ultimately we are all gun lovers and love to shoot and carry.

Im just a bit more careful about where i go with it then some...so group hug

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you still misunderstand..

In Indiana, ignoring a "No Guns" sign is nowhere in the Indiana Code(laws) regarding firearms. Even if one refuses to leave after being asked, and is charged, the charge will have nothing to do with firearms, but rather, it will be a trespassing charge.

Now, in other States, like North Carolina for example, No Guns signs DO hold force of law, and are specifically mentioned in their Code. So, walking into a store that has such a sign there is breaking a gun related law.

See the difference?

Oh, and just for the record, this has been discussed before, and we have had attorneys weigh in on it, just so you know we aren't conversing via our posteriors

Anywhere I'm legally permitted to I carry, sign or not.

 

[Psode27]

I love this site! . I'm in the "what sign?" group of people.

 

[CJK]

If it's posted no carry, I take my business someplace else

 

[CJK]

besides my previous reply, aren't we suppose to avoid a dangerous situation?

 

[Lex Concord]

wherever it's legal to do so

 

[doubleshock]

I cc 24/7. I pretty much ignore any posted notices. I just don't give a rat's ass what anyone thinks about me or what I do anymore. I agree with "better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6" saying. So far after years of cc, no one has ever noticed or said anything to me concerning whether I am armed or not anyway.

 

[goColt]

Oh, and if I feel like I would be in danger - I WOULD NOT GOT THERE.

+1 I've never understood why some people say they only carry when they feel they need to. I carry all the time because I never know when I'll need to use a gun to defend myself.

I agree with the above; If I knew I'd need a gun to go someplace, I simply would not go there.

Like the BSA motto says: Be Prepared

Not to try and 'paint you a reason why,' but at Guitar SHows, they make note of the serial numbers and models of whatever gear you bring in (actually they do it at Guitar Center too) just because of the sheer volume of gear going in and out in order to make sure no one gets ripped off. I do agree it's kinda silly to unload it, though.

As long as its not prohibited by law I will carry if I feel the need to. I haven't had an issue yet but I am sure it will come up eventually.

Me too. This is being discussed primarily as a legal issue when it is really a matter of respect for private property. It is hypocritical to trample one right in order to exercise another.

 

[williamsburg]

Sign?

What sign?

Oh that sign.

Nope, must have missed it on my way in....

exactly

just bcuz it says so does not make it the "law"

 

[warhawk77]

I voted for "conceal for a reason"

But if my pistol isn't welcome then my money isn't welcome, I will go somewhere else.

 

[NHT3]

I carry anywhere not prohibited by state or federal law.

Ditto

 

[Hogwylde]

My feelings exactly. Unfortunately, I was in WI last week where the signs DO carry the force of law.

How do you know if you have the need to?

 

[trillobite]

The great irony of anyone trying to say a "NO GUNS" sign is law....is that none of these signs have exclusions for LEOs.....yes, obviously, any officer responding to a incident at the business, must disarm before entering?
There used to be signs for other forbidden things/people, doesn't make it right.
