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.
If it keeps the cops and FLEAs out, it’s a bargain.

Now that’s funny, right there!!
My Aunt Ida Lee had a chihuahua.
I agree with you. I will say one thing for the dog. It was a good alarm.
On the back they further state" "Unlike most people, license holders have passed a criminal background check. Statistics show we are far more law-abiding than the general public. Our numbers are growing every day. We are ideal customers and will patronize your business if you let us. Remove your sign and I, my family, and many other gun owners will gladly return."
Funny thing, but from casual observation about 90% of the businesses that posted those signs immediately after CCW passage no longer do so. Imagine that!
LOL! I love it! I’m going to have to make one of the signs for my yard!
Cheers

Libs are such a bunch of whiny drama queens. Especially the men. And I use the term “men” very loosely.
If you look online I think someone is selling them.
LOL
YES! It is a GREAT way to redistribute the wealth from the haves to the have nots! It is probably the only way liberals would participate in “share the wealth”.
I LOVE IT!!!! These signs will inform the criminal element where it is safe to plunder. HOOAH!
Wife is from Ohio.... Japanese word with P’rican flag (always POs her). She says she not a native Texan but got here as soon as she could :)
Well, once you're a liberal and buy No Brains = intellectual, almost any other seemingly contradictory concept is a cinch!
Free gun zone!!! Where is tha....oh, never mind.
Yer just lion! That there’s a dog!
Yeah, but what are you gonna forfeit out of a liberal? Everything they have YOU paid for!
