anyone ever wonder why its called Conceal Carry?

[hurley40]

You ever see those signs with a handgun with a red line thru it? My question...well one of my questions is, how do they know you are carrying? Its called Conceal Carry for a reason, right? Second question, why not just put a sign in the window that reads open for robbery? Cant fix Stupid...

If no guns are allowed inside, there can be no robberies!!! *coughcoughgagbullshitcoughcoughgag*

The sign should read "No criminal activity aloud". Gun isn't necessary to commit a crime.

Obviously if a criminal sees the no gun sign he is going to give up his plans out of fear of being asked to leave.

Darnit, I'm carrying a concealed weapon that no one knows is there, so I'd better not go in there.

That video is great. Unfortunately many people believe "Gun Free Zones" are a good idea.

You have too much time on your hands and you are only preaching to the choir.

I think most people are not realizing that the most likely reason the majority of these signs exist is for insurance purposes. If a negligent discharge were to occur the premise owner/insurance company would have an easier time defending a lawsuit if it could say they dont allow firearms on the premise. If someone chooses to ignore that then the premise owner will say, hey, we tried and it's not our fault. I have never defended a lawsuit involving these circumstances but like with anything else it would factor into the equation. Just like having a bouncer in a bar where they know there are fights. You have a duty to use reasonable care. Not saying that not putting up a sign means you are negligent but instead saying putting up a sign makes it easier to defend.

Does this mean we can have silent criminal activity?

What ever grinds your clock Treo.

 

[camiller]

Whenever I see one signs I think "Victim Zone"

Treo beat me to the "aloud" vs. "allowed" joke.

But more seriously to the OP's question. In some states those signs have the force of law behind them. Also in some states there are certain types of businesses that you can't carry in whether or not a sign is posted.

I pay no attention to those signs. If I get caught I guess I will pay the price.
