Want to keep guns out of your home? Buy a 'no-gun' sign from the city [Madison, WI]
Capital Times ^ | 11-13-11

Now that Wisconsin allows people to carry concealed guns, here's one thing you might want to know: That includes your home. That means that everyone from the Mary Kay lady to the plumber can come into your home packing heat, unless you tell them they can't, or unless you post a sign.

The law, which allows people to apply for licenses to carry concealed guns, knives, Tasers and billy clubs, went into effect on Nov. 1.

People who oppose the law -- according to some polls they make up the majority of the state -- might be put off at having to stick a sign on their door to keep guns out of the home. But I think it beats having to tell everyone who comes to the door that they need to put their gun in the car.

So I'm going to buy a sign, which are being sold at the Madison City Clerk's office in Room 103 of the City-County Building at 210 Martin Luther King Blvd., from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The sign, a 5-inch-by-7-inch vinyl sticker, costs $5.

"I would say we're probably selling at least five to 10 a day," says Elena Berg in the City Clerk's office. "Mainly businesses, but some are going on homes as well."

Or if you prefer, you can download a version of the sign here and print it off.

There are also plenty of stores and online vendors selling no-gun signs, but a lot of them are aluminum, which are difficult to mount, and most of them cost more than the city is asking.

Besides, I think it will look good above the "No Solicitors" sign on the the door, although that one hasn't proven to be terribly effective.

LOL!

My favorite is;

Trespassers will be shot
Survivors will be prosecuted.

What idiots! Why not have them sell signs that read: No firearms here. Feel free to rape and pillage all you want here.

I have to be careful on threads like this or I’ll get myself banned. The first 30 or so responses that came to mind all involved graphic descriptions of various sex acts where one party is a less than willing participant. Suffice to say that those who post these signs at their homes will have an excellent chance to experience prison sex first hand.

Stupid on a level that can’t be imagined by rational people.

After all, the story says it is in “MADISTAN”, what more needs to be said?

Marktwain replies:

They do not exactly say that there are no firearms on the premises. They just say they do not want anyone *else* that comes there to have them.

I’m not really concerned about guns. I am concerned about recall signature collectors.

Do they have a “No Leftist Douchebags” sign available?
