Pennsylvania town packs heat, and wants visitors to know it

Drive into tiny Conoy Township, Pa., and you'll see the standard "welcome" sign, but it also comes with a warning: "THIS IS NOT A GUN FREE ZONE."

The signs are meant to alert criminals to the fact that many people in the rural Pennsylvania town of 3,000 are armed. A dozen have been installed so far and three more are slated to go up, which would cover every major road into the town. Officials hope the signs give would-be criminals second thoughts before causing trouble.

He said the town’s five supervisors unanimously decided to put the signs up.

“These signs are silly, because the Second Amendment guarantees the right of law-abiding, responsible citizens anywhere to own guns in their homes," said Jonathan Hutson, a spokesman for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. "As a matter of fact, no jurisdiction in America completely prohibits the carrying of guns in public.”

My kinda town! Of course, the liberal Brady Campaign add the liberal fantasy side of the matter with the old you can carry concealed anywhere. Try it in NYC,NJ, D.C. or Chicago and watch what happens if a cop finds out that you are carrying. Anyone remember Shaneen Allen?

Ping. My kinda town!

Just a bunch of racists. Hows a decent hoodlum supposed to earn a living if everyone is protecting themselves?
Racists.

Not to worry. New commie Governor Wolf will fix that town!

I was a a little taqueria in Tucson a month ago, on a Sunday, which is when a lot of well-dressed couples go out for lunch together. I saw a man with his gun in his holster. I went over and said how much I liked that he was packing.

Well, what was he packing? Something traditional or modern? I'd be packing a Colt SAA 4.75 inch in 45 Colt if I lived in Tuucson..

This sign works best.

"I went over and said how much I liked that he was packing."....

Be careful how you word this next time. I think I know what you meant, but in some parts of California they might think you meant something else.....

I'm just sayin'.....

Hi guy. Tell your dad “hello” from me and the First lady.

Sorta reminds me of New Hampshire.

Concealed carry is mandatory here.

If you don't have a handgun you can get a loaner from any cop soon as you cross the border. Just return it when you leave the state.

Plus, you can hunt on Sundays. And there's no bottle deposit. Nor any income tax.

If we only had bullfights I'd probably never leave.

But some try really hard.

Well it sure as hell is a “friendly reminder”. Of course, there will be some rocket scientist who will test it.
