[Magdalen] regarding 'open carry'.... here in the big TX

[Lynn Ronkainen]

Mike L >What do the Texas Impact signs for faith communities say?

ok... I followed the hot link/s and the first page took me to some detailed 
info and on the right was what appeared to be a sign that was a Rose Window 
with a Circle/slash (=NO) superimposed over it... I thought - please let 
this not be THE sign...

Apparently not, as a different link took me to a page where you can choose 
between no open carry, no concealed carry or no concealed OR open carry (I 
kid you not)  The signs are $45. each and are white with black writing 
explaining how the law allows 'places of worship' exemptions,  and in the 
upper right hand corner taking up about 1/8 of the sign is a black 
silhouette of a hand gun with the red circle/slash "no" superimposed over 
the gun. And in this age of symbols, how many folks will think, at a glance, 
that this means no 'hand guns', but other larger firearms are acceptable? Or 
the better question about 'this age' is who cares about signs?

sigh... they cost $45 each and I'm sure will be necessary for every door in 
the place/s who want them.

Lynn, pondering if Dylan would have come to bible study in Charleston that 
night if the church had a sign posted. ( I am not mocking that situation, 
but I also think that a sign is not much of a deterrent).
