no more chuck-e-cheese...

This whole discusion baffles me. Why take a picture of the sign? That got you nothing and all the while creating enough of a seen while doing so to draw the manger's attention, and then telling him you CC.
I have carried a concealed handgun for 32 years now, some of those years without a permit or license. Along with my wife, I did my part to raise our 3 children, coached baseball, basketball, softball, and did every other parent / child activity there is right up through college, and never once let it be discovered that I was armed just about every minute of it (kind a hard to swim with a .45).
Why would you tell anyone you carry a gun? Why would you give a crapp what the sign out front reads? If you really care about protecting your family you won't even slow down to look at the stupid sign.

We're used to it in Wisconsin because we can't legally CC anywhere.... Legally being the operative word here.

You have to make a decision, either follow some stupid law and leave your gun at home, or quietly break the law and protect yourself.

When I carry I leave my "Gun Hidden Under My Jacket" button at home.....

as of 4/2/2011 chuck-e-cheese salem OR,

Went to the Salem Oregon CC today looked for but couldn't find any posted signs prohibiting firearms, if this is still a co. policy, this particular CC doesn't post it where its supposed to be, and under currant law as long as your ccw stays concealed your OK to carry.

Those signs are so misguided at so many levels - anyone here could go on and on about inanimate objects, how someone who means harm won't care about a sign, etc.

As for the officer ... of course he's anti-gun. The misfortune of the police department is that they have to draw from the human race. Cops are like any other civilians. Some of them are gunnies, some aren't.


ETA: No. I'm not anti cop. Quite the opposite actually.

My experience has been MANY Law enforcement officers are NOT anti-gun, just I would rather MOST people NOT have guns as MOST people are viewed as potential problems.

For all the people who claim Law Enforcement supports the 2nd amendment I have yet to meet a cop who hasn't expressed the opinion that when dealing with the public in the professional capacty that they would prefer them to be unarmed!

My brother who worked in law enforcement owns guns, hunts and shoots yet DOES NOT belong to the NRA other than occasional annual subscriptions I bought him states, there are a LOT of people who should not have guns. Life is easier for him when they did not have them. Most the people I have met through him who worked in law enforcement have guns and feel generaly the same way.

My wife asked me about carrying in the local mall.

It's posted in the window, but the sign doesn't meet stated state requitements in size and color... what to do?

I told her, if she starts to carry, that when paying, don't keep the ID or form of payment in the compartment with the gun. Concealed is concealed... it's the parking lot where she will likely need the gun.
