Let's say you are a fisherman, and you're going fishing today. Where would you go...someplace you have a chance of catching fish? Would you choose a lake or a parking lot to fish in?
Now let's say you are a crazed person that wants to shoot/kill a bunch of innocent people with little to risk of being stopped, where would you go? A mall that does not allow hand guns? a movie theatre? school? I
f you look back at most if not all the recent shootings, they have all taken place where the gunman illegally took a gun(s) into the banned area. Why, the chances of someone shooting him before the police arrive is very slim. Why did the CO killer, choose the theatre he chose? He did not pick the one closet to his apartment, or the largest or even the busiest. Out of 7 theatres within 20 minutes of his apartment, he choose the one that did not allow guns.
If signs kept us safe from illegal activities, then our schools would be drug free, after all most our schools have signs that say "drug free zone". We could end crime in our cities by simply placing signs at the entry points into the city declaring them a "crime free zone".
I for one feel safer where I don't know who is legally carry a gun than I do those rare times I go into a place that does not allow for legal carry.
