Would you post a sign in front of your home announcing that you live in a gun-free zone? Would this make you feel safer?
To criminals, gun-free zones just look like easy targets. But in a recent column for the News Sentinel, Mark Harmon argues that killers pay no attention to gun-free zones. He incorrectly claims that this is the consensus view of academic research.

"Even the most ardent gun-control advocate presumably even Harmon would never put Gun-Free Zone signs on his home. Lets stop putting them elsewhere."
Well...duh.
Thank you Captain Obvious.
If I did that, I would be sued for “salting the field” if someone tried to break in....
THE ONLY PERSON SAFE IN A GUN-FREE ZONE IS THE KILLER
Lol, I know, it seems (and is) obvious to us. Dr. Lott is trying his best to enlighten those who mistakenly think otherwise. It may be a losing battle, but I give him credit for continuing to try.
***Would you post a sign in front of your home announcing that you live in a gun-free zone?***
During the 1968 riots, some people actually posted “THIS HOUSE IS NOT ARMED” signs in their windows.
It didn’t last long.
Others posted “SOUL BROTHER” signs.
One of my favorite cartoons from way back then was a man cleaning and loading his shotgun and his wife says to him..”Shouldn’t we just post a SOUL BROTHER sign in the window?”
“THE ONLY PERSON SAFE IN A GUN-FREE ZONE IS THE KILLER”
Sheriff David Clarke from his May 20, 2016 speech.
The classic:
or go over the top:
Pulp Fiction clip :43
The “Gun free zone” is a scam invented by the treasonists to bait wackos into killing people so the treasonists will have a excuse to ban guns. Would you go deer hunting if you knew the deer would shoot back? Hell no. A “Gun free zone” sign is nothing more than bait for wackos who want to go people hunting.
Lol! Criminals pay no attention to gun laws. That’s why the rate of home invasion robberies is the same in Utah and Wyoming and NYC and Chicago.
Oh wait, it isn’t. Lolololol!
By no means is it a losing battle. We’re winning, big.
Because we’re winning, the truth has become plainly obvious.
Supposedly intelligent people in positions of authority who insist on gun free zones are not simply misguided, because that space has been taken away by awareness. They are psychopaths who support gun free zones because they want mass shootings to happen, because they believe such tragedies are politically empowering for them. They want blood to dance in.
They don’t qualify for polite or deferential treatment, they aren’t worth arguing with, the only thing to do is REMOVE them.
