My Letter to my Gun-Free Gym - Rachel Mills

I find the "Gun-Free" signs to be ridiculous. To me, it's similar to yelling "Don't look!"

The author of this letter, found at the Liberty.me site, writes rather honestly. I believe this adds even more impact to her letter.

    In the event you have not noticed gun sales throughout the country have sky rocketed. Concealed carry permits have also increased. And I know of people who walk around with exposed fire arms where it is legal without concealed permits and I also know of people who chose to carry anyway. So the gun free zone signs mean nothing to these honest people. The current heads of the government of the USA are the best salesman the fire arms industry has ever had and many of the citizens of the USA are therefore buying guns. Hooray for gun ownership for the sake of protection.

    Suggestion for the owner of the establishment to sign:

    "Being the owner of this establishment and requiring all paying customers to be unarmed, I hereby declare that I will take full and complete responsibility for any loss, including loss of life, suffered by any and all customers while in my establishment due to criminal acts committed within my establishment."

    i'm told that everyone carries a gun in Switerland. I wonder what the crime rate is?

    I've now read the article. It is well written and should be sent to every place with a no guns sign. It also reinforces my previous comment.

    That sign is kind of a silly advertisement for target rich environment. I stay away from groups of idiots begging to be part of a group mugging.
