CCW's are very rare in CA especially in OC, so I have never seem a NO CCW sign. Turners has a no gun sign but CCW and LEO are welcome with open arms as long as they hoster and conceal.

Regardless of the signage posted, I still feel an armed society is polite society. I still think these things would happen less often if more people CCW'ed.

I don't believe for a second that anyone specifically targets these places because there is or isn't a sign posted saying "No CCW". They are simply venues where they can be guaranteed to have plenty of targets of opportunity.



However, if a sign were posted that read "We actively encourage and invite law abiding holders of CCW's to shop here", I would pretty much bet my life that "Bucky" wouldn't show up there with murder on his mind...

The ONLY people who stop and consider these signs are the law abiding folks like those we have here.

Lets not forget, the ultimate goal of these shooters is to die. Each person they take out with them is simply a milestone, no more, no less. The shooters ONLY concern is about themselves, about the momentary gratification they will get while doing the act. They won't be around to get long term enjoyment out of it.


SLC has a policy where they "encourage" their off duty LEO's to NOT carry. The Mayor of SLC is a member of Bloomburgs Moronic Mayors.

During the Shooting at Trolley Square, there were 7 Off Duty and unarmed SLC police, and 1 Ogden PD member who was armed.
