Administrators at a school in the South Suburbs of Chicago are up in arms over a state law (House Bill 0183) that requires schools to post small signs announcing that guns cannot be carried in schools.
The new law relates to a new concealed-carry license law, reports the SouthtownStar, a suburban newspaper. Schools in Illinois did not allow guns previously. Now, though, schools and churches, government agencies, liquor stores and certain other organizations must post 4-by-6-inch stickers as visible reminders that guns are forbidden on premises.
Many schools in the Chicago area and, presumably, other parts of the state have already posted the small stickers in compliance with state law. Others expect to post them over the next couple weeks.
Some school officials arent happy about the stickers because they contain a very basic image of a gun.
It is bothersome to have to post a sticker of a gun that says, Hey, folks, leave your guns at home, Theresa Nolan, principal of Tinley Park High School, told the SouthtownStar.
Nolan stressed that she is very concerned with safety and security and concerned that, somehow, someone could wrongly interpret an image of a gun emblazoned with the universal sign for prohibiting something.
I think the general public will be alarmed by it and wonder if people have been allowed to bring guns to school in the past, Nolan also fretted.
She said she would prefer something more subtle.

I wonder if we should be troubled over the retards (no offense to those with trisomy 21) running our school systems?
Related to my post above...if they DO outlaw the word “bang”, anyone talking about Sandra Fluke had better be careful.
I understand the reference you are making, but I think it is fair to say that 99.9% of FReepers have had absolutely NO exposure to the source of that information, FRiend...lol.
That being said, I agree wholeheartedly. I would suggest utilizing feeblemind on these individuals, but it would prove ineffective...;-)
You think only .1% of FReepers would get that?
I was thinking at least > 10%...
Propaganda is powerful. Especially when introduced early and repeated over and over and over again.
Why do you think the "war on women" is so successful? It defies all logic, reason and evidence yet they've got leftist indoctrinated women foaming at the mouth and marching in lock step.
You can’t make stuff like this up.
Guns, medical marijuana collide in Illinois rules http://www.sj-r.com/article/20140205/NEWS/140209674
I grew up in California and never shot a gun until 5 years ago when my son took me out to New River to shoot when I turned 55. I was terrified of handguns until then. Since then, we’ve acquired 2 handguns, a shotgun, and a rifle, which we unfortunately lost in a “tragic boating accident” recently. My point is....with education and exposure, this irrational fear can be overcome.
I forgot to mention that I’m a woman....aka Mrs. Prince of Space. My husband was pretty much a gun neophyte as well though, since he was a lifelong Californian too. We’d never leave Arizona to move back to California, however, mainly because of their draconian gun laws.
It was not that I was ever scared of the gun itself. I was more afraid of me with the gun, if that makes sense.
But you really just need to take all that anti-gun propaganda in your mind out and replace it with gun rules, respect for the gun as a tool (deadly tool), muscle memory etc.
