Silly signs. And once you start pointing out your neighbours lack of defenses then they can do the same to you.

They ran a NICS and it came back 'Denied'. All she can do is appeal and it takes months I understand. NICS denials have been on the increase since Newtown. People with previous gun purchases and even people with conceal and carry permits are being denied gun purchases.

A licensed gun dealer runs a NICS and gets a yes or a no. Then it is left up to the buyer to appeal the denial.

I can't understand why a NICS is run on a gun that most of us had as kids in the 6th grade. ???

And my girlfriend is a 60 year old grandmother that, like I said, hasn't had even a speeding ticket in 40 years.

I don't know how they can violate her 2nd Amendment right, but they are. It's happening all over. And that's my point.
She's appealing.

INFRINGMENT:

"It would alter our staffing model a bit -- requiring more work of staff and shifting the routine processing to the call takers," Helm said. She couldn't offer a guess as to how much staffing would be needed in that scenario but said that inconveniences caused by erroneous denials are ultimately worth it.

"Waiting on the final outcome of an appeal might be an inconvenience on a small percentage of individuals," Helm said, "but that outweighs the risk of releasing a firearm to someone who is ineligible to purchase one."

An inconvenience. No need to say more.

Great guns would deter me, passed out or not. I've seen 'em wake up.

Next...

I think they're crazy like a fox. They may very well be armed to the teeth, but the sign probably would deter the kind of burglar who breaks in with the intent to steal guns.

So ... much wiser than the idiots who post signs proclaiming things like, "This home protected by Smith & Wesson"!

Well the no guns sign would be true and your sign most likely a libel making you subject to criminal and civil penalties. Does that make a difference in the world of liberal gun haters?

I prefer no signs at all
Let the bad guys wonder which house they'll die in

Except for my immediate family, nobody knows if I have any, how many I have, where they might be, if they are loaded. I ain't tellin'. Please knock, wait for me to come to the door and welcome you to my house. Don't knock, and I might welcome you to my house just once.

The way things are going in this country you are going to need guns to protect yourself and your family - there is no doubt in my mind that we are going to have a financial crisis and things will fall apart - then the mob will be taking over the streets - then those who are proud that they don't have any guns will wish that they had some - look at what just happened in Oklahoma - three bums kill a guy for fun - you would be surprised how many bums like that are out there - if you own a gun and enjoy the right to have them - you should by all means join the NRA - don't let others defend your right to keep and bear arms - you need to get involved - Joe

Oh I agree 100%. No jobs, more robbery and home invasions, more illicit drugs sold and used... etc, etc. One big ghetto.
