Stopped by the Charter cable office in Lebanon yesterday to pay my bill, and there is a sign that says No Weapons Permitted on the property. The only problem is, the sign is inside, on the front of the counter. The glass on the front door is tinted, so you can't see the sign through it unless you specifically know to look for it. Unlesss I am mistaken, TN law requires a sign on the door of the business if you want to prohibit weapons. Also the sign specifically mentions property, so do I have to take the gun out of my car before I pull into the parking lot? I suppose I may start paying my bill online or by mail, or just cancel altogether. |

They must post the area they want " Legal Gun Free". The post must be at the common entrancee to the area they want "Legal Gun Free" The posting also must contain some specific language. 39-17-1359. Prohibition at certain meetings — Posting notice. — (a) An individual, corporation, business entity or local, state or federal government entity or agent thereof is authorized to prohibit the possession of weapons by any person otherwise authorized by §§ 39-17-1351 — 39-17-1360, at meetings conducted by, or on property owned, operated, or managed or under the control of the individual, corporation, business entity or government entity. Notice of the prohibition shall be posted. Posted notices shall be displayed in prominent locations, including all entrances primarily used by persons entering the building, portion of the building or buildings where weapon possession is prohibited. If the possession of weapons is also prohibited on the premises of the property as well as within the confines of a building located on the property, the notice shall be posted at all entrances to the premises that are primarily used by persons entering the property. The notice shall be in English but a notice may also be posted in any language used by patrons, customers or persons who frequent the place where weapon possession is prohibited. In addition to the sign, notice may also include the international circle and slash symbolizing the prohibition of the item within the circle. The sign shall be of a size that is plainly visible to the average person entering the building, premises or property and shall contain language substantially similar to the following: PURSUANT TO § 39-17-1359, THE OWNER/OPERATOR OF THIS PROPERTY HAS BANNED WEAPONS ON THIS PROPERTY, OR WITHIN THIS BUILDING OR THIS PORTION OF THIS BUILDING. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS PROHIBITION IS PUNISHABLE AS A CRIMINAL ACT UNDER STATE LAW AND MAY SUBJECT THE VIOLATOR TO A FINE OF NOT MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($500). |
I pay charter online, but if you wanna stick it to them, quit and get satellite for TV and DSL for modem. I used to have directv, and it was okay. The only reason I switched to cable was because at that time you couldn't get local channels on satellite. That's no longer the case, so other than for modem use, satellite is just fine. I don't think you'd want satellite modem though. From what I've read, it doesn't look good. I'm sure DSL through the phone company would be fine though. |
agreed! i would like to know where i cant carry. especially if the sign isnt very visible. i know i dont stare at every door before i go in. if its not in plain sight (like the courthouse with a bigger no gun sticker than the no smoking sticker) i dont pay attention. -Tim |

we can start it, but i am going to keep it controlled by keeping it as a locked thread, and allowing submissions via IM as opposed to letting members post. these things tend to get way out of hand, conversation wise, if they are left as open threads. all in favor? |
