I saw the coolest sign in someone's front door window last night. I said "We don't dial 911." and had a picture of a revolver pointed at you. It was awesome! I need one! It was near WPI too so odds are it is a student. Fly Navy |
| Well, if you have a sign like that and you find yourself in a situation where some dumbass burgler can't read (or doesn't read English), then you had better remove it before the cops show up. A prosecutor would have a field day waving that sign in front of a jury. |

Quoted: Well yeah, I wouldn't actually post mine. It'd be something fun to have in the bedroom or living room just for S&G's though. Fly Navy Not ragging on you personally; just making a general statement/point... lurkers and others reading this thread might think that putting a sign like that on their front door would be cool. You can get the sign here [url]http://www.petsignsplus.com/osfunsigns/funorderpg.html[/url] BTW, I just noticed you live in MA. Unfortunately, so do I. From what I know of our illustrious AG, a person living here would undoubtedly be screwed to the max if a sign like that was on their door and they shot an intruder. |

Quoted: sounds like a fair enough warning to me...........i think a picture of a gun is a fairly universal language. Depends, it could also send out the message that there's something worth stealing inside. FWIW, I don't even have any NRA or RKBA stickers on my vehicle. If someone wants to find out if I have firearms at home, let them find out the hard way. [}:D] |

Oh, no, you definitely have a valid point. I didn't take it personal, I'm not a sally. You can get the sign here [url]http://www.petsignsplus.com/osfunsigns/funorderpg.html[/url] That's exactly the sign, the red one. BTW, I just noticed you live in MA. Unfortunately, so do I. From what I know of our illustrious AG, a person living here would undoubtedly be screwed to the max if a sign like that was on their door and they shot an intruder. Yeah, MA sucks. Worcester is OK on guns, but still, I consider it hostile territory. Luckily I'm shipping out to Florida for flight school in July. I could definitely see our AG going ape on someone having that sign posted for public view. Fly Navy |

A prosecutor would have a field day waving that sign in front of a jury. You're probably right, unfortunately. I used to have a sign on my backyard fence that had a picture of a German Shepherd and caption below the pic read, "I can make it to the fence in 3 seconds...Can you?" Had somebody ignored the sign and gotten bit by my Shep, that sign would have probably been used against me. Oh well...that sign blew away during a windstorm, and I replaced it with a simple "Beware of Dog" sign. |
