Here’s a question.

Is it possible that the ‘No Guns Allowed’ sign was kind of a trap?

If no guns are allowed anywhere in the city for anyone, why else would you put up a sign like that?

The second amendment principle is that the government should fear the people more than the people fear the government. This was thought the best manner to keep the government behaving in the best interests of the people and stay off corruption. Perhaps this is why the most corrupt places in the country have the strictest gun laws.

Rule of thumb: If the police are carrying, then the people can carry. Keeps the police in line and gives the people the tools to defend themselves. Police are good at writing traffic tickets and filing paperwork, not so good at defending, for that task a well armed citizenry is the best option.
