Wow seriously? Isn't that illegal to terminate someone on their stance on guns? Or anything that you yourself as an employer disagree with?

depends on the state. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At-will_employment

Wow. Learn something new everyday

I see.

zombies technically ok, simply "discouraged"

even as a joke tbh the sign doesn't make sense...

Obviously, this is one of the last places you want to be when the zombies hit. Granted, melee weapons tend to make less sound on average, but still.

Unless you're the zombie, then this place is a buffet! =D I call dibs on the eyeballs!

Good thing I have my barbed wire baseball bat!

Well rabbi you can go in there with rapid fire crossbows and a shurriken launcher. Also, this building allows raptors and dinosaus with aliens to attack the place.

"The owner is rabidly anti-gun, he feels that anything that can shoot a projectile of any kind or size needs to be outlawed.

Sounds like crossbows are also in the forbidden list, as well as straws (spitballs) rubber bands (slingshots) anything sticklike (atlotl, an ancient device for launching short spears farther and faster than throwing the spears by hand) (also, spears). The list goes on...

If this guy put some logic into his extreme stance, He's see that his 'firearm ban' is actually a ban on EVERYTHING.

here's the thing all those listed on the sign are firearms only. A crossbow fires no bullet and uses no form for a powder accelerant. Mind you I am poking at the holes of the sign's logic here Xp

lemme see...rail guns (the magnetic version not the fancy-schmancy shootin' irons) microwave "guns" all sortsa "sonic guns"?

The real question is can you kill a zombie by bashin' it in the head with the metal detecting wand yer usin to keep out gun toters?

then again a stone in my hand to smash some skull in is allowed as well as a kitchen knive.

or a 8 by 8cm square rod from a freshly felled sour cherry tree.

i wonder if this includes nerf guns as well.

Actually, not so short spears. Atalatl dart shafts range about 5-7 feet in length. Atlatls are great fun, its amazing just how far them "pointed sticks" will fly. Some states have atlatl hunting seasons, in fact.

Almost all the hardware stores here in yankee territory have these nice fiberglass drivewway markers that are about 5 feet long and about 3/8" in diameter.

I wonder what he thinks of a paperclip propelled by a rubber band.

They've obviously lost their braaaaaaaains... braaaaaaaaaains...

No brains to eat here.

Ah, good. That resizing I did worked.

So, he feels that anything, of any size, that shoots a projectile should be prohibited/banned?

Did he get his penis removed?

If not, I call hypocrisy.



I have a simple rule I follow re: such signs and businesses-

I don't do business where such signs are posted.

I'd follow that rule myself if there were such options available.. Most of the places around here are nearly all rabid anti-gun. One of the many hells of being stuck in California.

It's why I shop online the most! XD

Did he get his penis removed?

Sounds like he turned his in years ago.

Being an idiot is not illegal as this business owner proves. I’m assuming that average criminal would think, “Dayum! Here’s a low-threat environment I can exploit!”

But then again, I think having children should probably require licensing, given what I see these days and how some booger-eating morons treat their kids in public.

If it were up to me, you couldn’t get a driver’s license without firearms training and proof you own and can effectively use a weapon. Well, not really, but I WOULD like to see full concealed carry reciprocity in all 50 states, backed up by a SCOTUS decision that clearly sees the Second Amendment as inviolate and universal as the First.

I was four when my great gran-pappy showed me how to shoot bloo! jays (I'm sure you get that...) with his break action 20 gauge...and if I ever touched it I get my ass WHUPPED!!!

(tell me its not just me...or is I an old fart?)

I showed my kids when they were between 4-6 years old about guns not being toys, by blasting watermelons with pistols and a shotgun. saying how thats what would happen to YOU if you play with guns.

I wouldn't even allow them to have cap guns or realistic squirt guns as kids cause I didn't want them to associate toys with the real deal.

My Mom thought buying toy guns and making me treat them like a real gun was a smart idea. One year for Christmas, they bought me a battery operated water pistol that looked like an Uzi. She would yell at me if I pointed the water gun at someone, I just gave her a weird look.

My parents never owned a gun when I was a child. With my mom's paranoia and my curiosity, she was terrified that I would find the gun and shoot myself with it. Keeping the gun locked and hidden didn't seem to cross her mind.

BTW, the reasoning my mom had with the last sentence is because they purposely kept a bottle of mace out in the open as a test to see what I would do. I found it, messed around with it, and wound up spraying mace in my face and nose.

Okay. I am French, I don't agree with the gun craze in the USA, yadda, yadda. But THIS ? This is just plain stupid. When I say "I am against the gun craze" I don't mean "ban all guns" like that idiot is saying. It's just not feasible in the USA. It's too ingrained in the culture as a symbol of freedom. What he's doing here, is somehow managing to shoot himself in the foot with a lack of guns. "No guns allowed in this store" should not mean "do not even think 'gun' in this store or you're banned". I can understand not wanting an employee to bring a gun to work, but firing them because they like guns, or even just have a firearm at all, is utterly moronic.

This Brit agrees 100 percent. There has to be a balance to everything.

100% agreement from this german here.

As pointed out it is a "Rob Me" sign.

It is that, too. But, with the accompanying subtext of how the owner treats different opinions on gun ownership, it is first and foremost an "I am a moron" sign.

there's nothing on that sign involving blow-guns

I notice it doesn't outlaw flamethrowers.

Because it doesnt "shoot". It sprays. lol

Don't explain the gag. :P

They shouldn't have anything to worry concerning undead who want their brains, that's for sure.

Also, I suppose this is why membership in any 2nd Amendment organization should be kept secret to anyone who is a stranger.

Let me know if the employees sue him for such discrimination.

Sadly, this is his business and he can fire people for this as this is private property in a way.

Not really it depends on the state and what their laws are. The same laws that lets him be a moron tends to also protect the employee's rights under the Constitution

The employees also have the freedom to find work elsewhere, and customers can also take their money elsewhere too.

Suppose when the store gets robbed more often, and the owner still refuses to let his employees carry guns, they can simply find a safer place to work and watch the business shrivel up and die.

Sadly that's not always a possibility in this economy and some smaller towns...when I was stuck in way-x georgia *SPIT!* *Hell SPIT! again it was tHAT bad* you worked at hellmart the trailer plant or the prison...I FINALLY chose the prison...funny 'nuff they have a "no gunz" sign there too *Smirk*

.funny 'nuff they have a "no gunz" sign there too *Smirk*

Gee, I wonder why?

Don't they trust the inmates with firearms?

They didn't trust anyone really...I was workin the side gate one day and a sheriff wanted to come up just to visit his buddy at intake...just inside the building...INSIDE the guard line...

That's a BIG nope...

He was slightly pissed...

Somethin' bout bein out numbered 1,100 to 36-47ish...

If the inmates wanted the prison they could take it...they had enough melee weapons...hell we HAD to give the stuff to them...industrial streangth brooms and mops the wringer from the mop bucket was a hell offa mass weapon they showed a PLASTIC rake some one had turned into a spear for one gang 'play time'...my fave was a 24" scrubbrush...it was built like a mace...and no padding or duct tape...(I'm a SCAdian...)...

then again, would you want to work there if it bothered you? well, I wouldn't.

also, who's to say he won't find any other reason to can you?

It doesn't, I'm more concerned about the person holding the weapon than the weapon itself.

No big deal, I'll work somewhere else. And take my money elsewhere too.

like any thinking people should.

this looks like an open invitation to be robbed. someone comes in, asks the clerk like you did out of curiousity, comes back again at a convenient time next week, and all they need are baseball bats...

I wonder of the neighbouring shops have signs up saying "rob the shop next door, they are raving anti-gun!"

Thats how I feel anytime I see these signs in other places

i can respect someone disliking guns for their own reasons, but this guy sounds like a total loony if he's that judgemental for someone for even hinting that own a gun. actually, the guy said he hates anything that shoots projectiles, so does that mean he has a beef against nerf guns too? i'm actually curious now.

Ironic how an anti-gun boss is afraid of zombies.

Lack of self awareness I guess

That's discrimination and grounds for an immediate lawsuit! The only way to fight liberals is to throw their SJW bullshit right back at them!

So your religion requires that you carry a firearm? winning lawsuit! I mean that cult of rich wackos was a fabrication so why not start something new.

This is when I quitey lead a group of zombies to this place and then sit back cleaning my shotgun

So does that include guns that have had their pins removed? Because, technically, they no longer fire projectiles. Also, for sheer shits n' giggles, I'd love to see the guy beaten with a whiffle bat, all the while the assailant saying "I'm not using a gun, so this is totally okay with you, right?"

A-Yup...

DANG there is a reason most mass shootings occurs where they do. I hate saying so but if you look the majority of mass shootings have occured in gun free zones

on the other hand, most times it would have been useless to shoot back, like at the mass shooting at that country concert. they didn't even know where it came from at first... it's more likely people in panic start to shoot at each other instead, adding to the body count.

the problem comes from other sources, be it political or societal, and won't be solved neither by banning or completely allowing firearms.

I agree shooting isn't always the answer especially with a long range shooting. Took a while for the hotel guards to find the right room then get in. Apparently they exchanged fire there as well

It looks like a Colt 1873 would be okay. Or any Caplock.

You mean a Colt Cap Busting Magazine Clip Assault Rifle?

with a thing that goes up

JESUS CHRIST NOT ONE OF THOSE TOO!!!! D:<

cheezuz xhristos! I had to look that up cause I hadn't seen it...that is one SCARY critter! whut the hell does she use to regulate her autonomic systems cause her brain ain't there!

his place, his rules... personally i don't care if i'm not comfortable enough to do business i'll go somewhere else.

Thought it was a zombie free zone, but clearly the owner has no braaaaaaaaaaaains.

That just screams "Hey criminals, come rob me, I'm vulnerable." *rolls eyes*

Its been said in this reply thread, but all I see is ROB ME in giant letters when I see any sign like this.

terminating some one for exercising his constitutional rights is wrong on all levels if my employer fired me over that id file one hell of a lawsuit

That sign puts targets on everyone that is in that place of business... I think a smart Business owner that is next to him would put up would put up pro gun sighs and post a sign that says it's safer to rob the shop next door because it's a gun free zone.

Had a former boss with a "No guns allowed in accordance with..." sign in the front window.

....and a handgun in his office. Because "If someone tries to rob the place, I wanna be the only one in here armed"

He'd also cover the "Mandated by state/federal law..." employment/safety notifications in the break room with his latest list of "Bush is so dumb that..." jokes, with he and his brother bragging about how "progressive" they were to anyone in earshot and how supportive they were of Democrat candidates -- while quietly telling staff things like "Keep an eye on customers of 'a certain complexion', if you know what I mean. They could be shoplifters"; a business partner who'd lecture staff that "Mormons need to be banned from running for any political office"; and an assistant manager who seemed convinced that if two guys came into the store together it meant they were gay and therefor "more likely to be shoplifters".

....a few months after I quit, he installed security cameras which the manager quietly told the staff were intended to spy on them rather than watch for shoplifters.

I'm sure this will keep armed robbers from entering. I mean how could they possibly get in if no guns are allowed?

Let the st00pid SOB go talk to the guys at the phone store.

The Waldenbooks at the mall near where I live had a big sign on their door that prohibited firearms carry. I was looking for an magazine one day, and stopped in there (with nothing scarier than a penknife on me) and peered at the racks. Nothing about guns, reloading, hunting, or anything that might offend a Vegan. The guy at the counter minced over and asked if he could help me find something. I said I was looking for the latest issue of Guns and Ammo. He hustled me out the door -- put his hands on me and pushed me out of the store -- then banged on the glass and pointed to the damned sign and told me he'd call Mall Security if I came back.

Yes, I know that that sort of contact constitutes assault in the State of Connecticut. Technically, I would be within my rights to employ whatever force necessary to stop the attack.

I never bothered to go back. Today, Waldenbooks is out of business and I shop at Barnes and Noble -- who publish gun books!

A friend and I will loudly proclaim when at a large magazine rack if people are about "Lets go look for fresh porn!" and head towards the gun magazines.

Years ago while at a large grocery store here in Madison, I was perusing over the gun magazine section when a couple of Vegan/Socialist types looked and 'nose in the air' "OH Goddess!! They sell Pornography here!" and huffed off. Two minutes later they dragged the manager over to the rack and loudly announced "You are SELLING PORNOGRAPHY! THIS IS NOTHING BUT OFFENSIVE PORNOGRAPHY (Note: Being "I demand attention NOW loud) AND YOU MUST REMOVE THESE MAGAZINES AND STOP SELLING THEM!!"

The Manager just looked at them and said "I will bring this up before the owners." And the Vegan/socialist couple again loudly announced "TIL THEN WE WILL NEVER SHOP HERE TIL THESE ARE REMOVED FROM HERE!!"

Thats when I loudly said "Hot damn, Fresh PORN!" and grabbed a Shotgun News. The couple quickly turned up their noses and stomped off, the manager just looked at me, shaking his head and thumbing over his shoulder at the couple.

you cant make shit like this up!
funny

Sounds like a criminal's safe work zone.

I would get some custom printed stickers that say "Criminals Welcome" and stick it above the sign just before driving off.

For what its worth, there's a church in town that has the "no guns" sign (the legal correct ones) at the front door. Its the only church in town that I know is a gun free zone.

An irony here is a "Call off The Wild" event being held this weekend in a community center also marked as a Gun-Free Zone.

Wow...

I do not do business (personally) with any place that has an anti-gun sign unless I have no other choice

So slingshots, water pistols, toy dart guns, potato shooters, potato cannons, and tranq guns should be outlawed in this guy's mindset? WTF?

Passing through and saw this... I would find it hilarious of someone actually did a big hold up with hostages using an old flintlock pistol or musket. That would take either balls of steel or an IQ of 4. I would never shop there, took my business elsewhere in one town I lived near because a shop put up a similar sign except they banned KNIVES too.

Stranger: "May I ask you one question?"

Store clerk: "Sure go ahead."

Stranger: *Pulls out tec-9 "which one of you put up the sign no robberies?"

Store clerk: *Points at other store clerks

I'm pro gun btw.

what ? xD hahaha

But he didn't say anything about tanks?

Beretta 92, "proto" grenade launcher (pretty sure Forgotten Weapons has an episode on that), Barrett M82, L85 (not sure if it's an A1 or an A2 since it's just a silhouette), and a Micro Uzi. How much wanna bet leftists would support this business owner's "right" to fire employees for having differing views on the concept of rights?

I hate the managerial class.
