Thought y'all would get a kick out of this unique way of posting a meaningless "gunbusters" notice, on a marquee sign at a strip center on Highway 79 in Round Rock.

Nice. Looks like the sort of place where it would be foolish NOT to be armed.

I think it is pretty nice of the landlords to post that sign on the street. Saves me time from having to pull into the parking lot. I wonder how the tenants feel about the loss of business...

Probably the most expensive useless sign ever posted....

I'd guess the tenants demanded the landlord "do something" about customers shooting each other in and around their stores...so he "did something." A plastic sign is a heck of a lot cheaper than armed security, cameras, off-duty LEO, etc...

I thinke Lodge is probably right. There is a Tejano disco nightclub place in this center - exactly the kind of place that probably experiences a high rate of late night "problems".

I used to live very near there. There is a C&W bar in that parade, and IIRC there was a shooting incident there a few years ago. I forget the details, but I'd bet that is the reason - the sign appeared soon afterwards.

Would be interesting to write a letter to each tenant, explaining exactly why you won't be visiting their businesses, and see how long that sign stays up...

Maybe it's the name of a store?

It would work on me...Me or mine would not frequent the businesses there!
It is funny though! BG's will see that and say "Damn, we can't commit armed robbery there, They don't allow guns!...Dangit!"

Or maybe the oysters at Ixtapa are
really bad.
