OT: Will it come to this in the US?
« on: March 14, 2007, 08:27:31 AM »

This is from Boing Boing and the commentators wondered whether the lack of other prohibitions (larger weapons, elephants) might mean the store owner was okay with them!  I suppose the one is supposed to be a knife but looks more like a broadsword!

A commentary by the owner on the infringement of gov policies on private business.
I may do that myself. Only I'll add: "No Left-handed Volvo salesmen".

While driving through Missouri the other day, I stopped for gas at a truck stop. They had the "no guns" decal on every entry door.
I'm not a complete idiot -- a few parts are missing!

Yep, Kansas just passed the concealed carry last year (?) and we've got a lot of the gun signs going up; I suppose this will keep the places from being robbed at gunpoint!   biggrin.gif

JWBoyd - My cousin's husband is a truck driver and he's carried a gun for years in a well-hidden place in his truck (no I don't know where).  I would imagine that a lot of truck drivers fancy themselves to by gunslingers or in danger.
