"No Guns Allowed" signs

[Name Taken]

So you did the right thing by seeking out PROPER legal advice from an ACTUAL ATTORNEY and then come and ask a bunch of NON ATTORNEY's if the legal advice was correct....a bit confused.

None the less....I do not know of a MD law that puts any power behind that sign. If you are asked to leave then you must.

How about designing and making available a small sticker that can be easily carried in one's pocket that reads "The owner of this establishment wishes everyone to know that this is a gun-free zone. Isn't that an open invitation to would-be criminals?"

As you walk in (or by), place the sticker near the "gun-free" notice. It will no doubt be removed as soon as the owners discover it but in the meantime, it will hopefully give a few patrons at least a moment to pause and ponder the implications.

Just thinking outside the box... before my mind kicks back into the real world.

That could be considered vandalism. Bad idea IMO

You mean like writing on bathroom walls?

 

[swinokur]

yep. same thing except no one will see you do it in the bathroom.

Out in public, not so much.

either way it's vandalism and not condoned here.

If you owned a business, wouldd it be ok for me to plaster stickers on your door or write on YOUR bathroom walls?

If it is concealed, how would anyone know?

Exactly - the whole idea of "concealed carry"

Some states the gunbuster signs could be written in crayon and have the force of law, others (like Texas) have very specific requirements.

Gun Free signs are great, we should all have our very own gun free zones!

If SHTF and you have to use it. I can see the potential for a lawsuit because you're not supposed to have a firearm in these places. Technically I can conceal a firearm and carry it into any restricted area. The issue is that if you ever have to use it you're gonna have to pay the consequence. If the signs are merely a deterrent then it's not an issue.

Of course, in MD if you are carrying where there is a "no guns" sign you are likely carrying outside of your restrictions. That IS a crime.

Well, you know this is bs because the 2nd amendment says differently. You know.....

Not MD I know, but Toby Keith's new restaurant in Woodbridge VA has been designated "gun free" and he's taking heat for it.

Damn right. That's what I'm gonna say when I get caught.

Some states have laws that prohibit carrying places that serve alcohol. Don't know if Maryland has that law. But, you can try to carry going into buisnesses, nothing illegal there. They can put a sign up. Some places mind some others probably not even though they put a sign up. I think some business owners are told to put a sign up to remove liability off them somehow.....probably the antis somehow scaring them into something they dont need to do. But, they can refuse service for any reason and tell you to leave. If you refuse to do so, your trespassing. Its a business, it private property. Then public buildings can limit carrying inside or on the premises. And they'll probably do more to you there than just ask you to leave. So, in a indirect way, its practically illegal to carry most places even with a CCW because they can turn it into a trespassing charge.

Other than federal buildings, has anyone actually seen a gunbuster sign in MD?


I can't say that I have.
