Few merchants see need to post no-weapons sign (Westroads Mall Posted: No Concealed Carry)
Omaha World Herald ^ | March 28, 2007 | John Keenan

"Signs you'll see at the entrance of O'Connor's Irish Pub in the Old Market:

"Restrooms are for customers only."

"City Council: Please Send in the Non-Smokers."

What you won't see is a "No Concealed Weapons" sign reminding customers that bars are among the few businesses in Nebraska where it is illegal to carry a gun . . .

In fact, although some chains such as Bag 'N Save have posted signs and shopping malls such as Westroads Mall have added "no weapons" clauses to their posted codes of conduct, many small businesses haven't seen the need. And at least one that did later reconsidered."

I guess we have to carry them open, then. On the hip, in full view

Two “gun free zones” this year have proven to be the safest havens in the nation.

Westroads Mall - 9 dead
Virginia Tech - 32 dead

The euroturds are already blaming it on the US “gun culture.”

Gee, maybe they missed the posted rules as they were going in to massacre their victims.

I saw a sign on the door of a gas station in Missouri that said, “gun free zone”, I went in and asked them for my free gun.

They didn’t give me one. False advertizing I say.

A third was the shopping center in Salt Lake City. “No weapons allowed” sign. Five people dead.

Probably wouldn’t shoot straight anyway. You’re better off buying a good one. If its all shiney, it will look good on the hip :>)

I guess those mall shooters obey those signs, they don't conceal their rifles.

And it was an off duty cop,in civies, who had his gun with he, that keep the death toll down. It was someone, with a gun, on the spot that controlled the situation.

Are these locations with the NO WEAPONS ALLOWED etc. supported by state law? Traveling in MN I have seen similar signs but they refer to a law.

No law, then carry.

This was predictable. Yesterday I went to the Westroads Mall and their corporate owners website to see what I could find about their gun policy, but I couldn’t find anything. Could the estates/families of the victims and wounded survivors sue Westroads Mall for their policy and how it endangered them? If not, why not?

I didn’t even catch that point. Excellent question.

I noticed that at CNN they have an article about how to protect shoppers at the mall. http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/12/06/mall.security/index.html

They don’t even want armed “security” guards on staff. In other words, go to the mall and you’re a huge target.
