This morning my wife needed to stop by the local hospital to have some blood drawn. As we went in, I saw some new signs that weren't there before: No guns, no fixed blade knives, no anything that can be used as a weapon. As she checked in, they brought their new policy to our attention.
Hey, you potential mass shooters. Here's a great place to practice your hobby. There's no danger until the cops get there. You can get off lots of shots before anyone seriously opposes you. Think of the great publicity you'll get.
That said, as I looked around at the large number of people there, I had to wonder how many were armed. I'm betting it wasn't as gun free as they intend.

In FL the 'No Guns' signs basically mean nothing....
They are not 'enforceable'....
Verbal is a whole different thing.
YMMV

I go in many places where they do not want you to carry. My wife always says "you are not carrying are you"? They have signs up. I always say who is going to know except you and I. I refuse to be told I can not carry, so some arsehole can shoot up the place knowing all are unarmed.

As for a 'tip' for mass shooters, a lot of them have it figured out.... go to Chicago, no one seems to care. www.heyjackass.com = a mass shooting every week, for years now!!

Funny thing about mass shooters, they never target a police station...

All these mass shooters use an AR15 because the media has told them how deadly it is.
I would hate to see an educated one take a 12 gauge with a mag extension and 00 buck into a crowded space.
Gun free zones signs are there to make the sheep feel safe. I see no need to pay attention.

The operative word about "concealed carry" is- - - - -wait for it- - - - -"CONCEALED"! The first thing a mass shooter, or any other person who presents a deadly danger to me or mine will see to indicate that I've ignored the "No Guns" sign will be a muzzle flash. I'm headed for the hospital to see my wife in a few minutes. They have "no guns" signs all over the place. I'll be packing.
Ignorance can be fixed. Stupid is forever!

Funny thing about mass shooters, they never target a police station... I worked at a hospital for about a year. It's one of the top spots in America where folks commit suicide. I don't really know the reason why other than they will be found fast and be declared dead quickly. kwg

A buddy sent me a text about a year ago. Him and his young son were about to walk into a store with the "no guns" sticker. His son looked up at him. His response was "son that's a Beretta, I'm carrying a Browning Hi-Power".

Not hard to spot a fellow CC-er. Good to spot them when out and about just in case.

In Canada, about all you carry is a can of bug spray.
