To sell trap guns?
Ok, I get the law against displaying hand guns in windows. Doing so just isn't a good idea but, the law against advertising the sale of hand guns, puzzles me. Every gun dealer I've ever seen, has Glock, S&W, Ruger, etc.....signs in their windows, most of which contain a picture or at the very least, a silhouette of a hand gun.

I can't think of another Industry that as more regulation than the Firearms Industry. Not even the Pharmaceutical or Liquor Industry.

Makes perfect sense. Because the mere sight of anything that is a shape of a gun will cause the viewer to instantly fly into a murderous frenzy. Just the other day I say a sideways letter "L" and almost lost my control. I could have started a genocide!

Interesting the story cites law going back to 1923 banning gun stores from advertising handguns for sale. So much for the good old days, eh?
If guns are banned from window displays, then the crime rate will go down. Now it we can only get the car dealerships to take the cars out of their windows, the number people speeding will decrease drastically!
I think any bar owner in PA may challenge that statement. The old Keystone State has a veritable maze of arcane liquor laws.

Can't advertise cigarettes anywhere, but I sure can't tell that ever stopped any smokers.

Yes, it is against the law in Germany to do so.
When we lived there, my wife would often salute German drivers.
She once did receive a ticket for such,40 DM ($20)
paid on the spot to the officer. Pretty much stopped the saluting.
Heh heh, what actually prompted me to give the Italian guy the finger,was not only after he tooted the horn at Susanne--he gave her the Italian raised fist-turned and saw me--flipping him off. Susanne thanks me for defending her--but chewed my hind enough that I probably lost a pound. I cant remember if we were in Goslar--or Lubeck??? I think Goslar--since thats where Rommel and another famed soldie (Guderian I think?)--shared an apartment--when theey were both Majors.
Anyway, Susanne was cold tome for awhile--till I bought her a nice supper.

I had assumed that every store in Texas sells guns so no need for any signs.
