If it’s a place displaying a gun-free zone sign that I don’t have to visit, I don’t. If it is a place I must visit, I ignore the sign. If I have to use my gun, I’ll most likely be alive. If I need the gun and I don’t have it, I’ll most likely be dead. I can deal with the consequences later.
Mentally ill people don’t really understand, or follow, rules.
Everyone in a “gun free zone” is at the total mercy of the one nut who ignores the rule.
Giving that kind of power to a mentally ill person, is a totally recipe for disaster.
Looking through the comments section, here are a couple of real gems:
“Armed civilians = A bunch of idiots conned into believing they too can be Dirty Harry. The truth is that they will for the most part be paralyzed by the decision making and adrenaline taking place in a fire fight. When the shooter is not hesitating they will. Or they will be mistaken for the shooter by police. Or they will commit suicide with their gun before they get a chance to play out their Dirty Harry fantasy.”
“In November, we patriotic Americans are going to stomp you gun worshiping fascists into the f*cking ground.”
Gun-free zone = socialist-democrat sanctioned psychopath kill box.
When will people realize that these hardcore leftists want 80% of the American people dead? To them, there’s way too many serfs and peons around than needed to support the needs and wants of the 0.1% elite. At their level, partisan politics means nothing. It’s just a means to an end for them. Politicians are just tools to these people, to be used, and then discarded when no longer useful.
I don’t know about anyone here but gun free in any place that doesn’t check you means absolutely nothing. Unless you are going through a metal dectector carry away F’em.
For many businesses the signage is a precondition for getting liability insurance or is required by the building owner’s lease agreement, so the business owner often has no choice.
Why not a lawsuit that the business conspired to put their patrons at risk by creating an environment conducive to assault?
There are almost no “Gun Free” zones. Only places where there is intense security like the Secure areas at airports. And it’s proven that even they are not always “Gun Free”.
Anyone at that Waffle House should sue the heck out of Waffle House for naming a place “Gun Free” and failing to make it so - thus endangering their lives.
