This billboard is the Brady Bunch attempt at negative - personally I find it reassuring and straightforward.

"Don't threaten me, and I won't shoot you"
Sounds great!

Works for me!

Reminds me of the old saying..Don't start none and there won't be none"

I like it.

And the problem with this is???

Looking at it again I just noticed that the gun is shaped like the state of Florida. ..Those clever Brady people.

And the Florida-shaped gun fires the entire cartridge.

Good eye!
Sign musta' been made by some California outfit.........
Wonder if we zoom in can we see the micro-stamping?

We had that happen at a CHL qualification a couple of weeks ago. Man was taking a renewal. His gun wasn't firing on the first relay. I went over as he started the second and saw a shiny object 'spit' out of the barrel and go about 3 yards. He was shooting a .45, but forgot he had put a box of 9mm in his bag (his wife had the 9mm) and had been loading his mags with it. The firing pin was striking the round hard enough to eject the whole enchilada out of the barrel and about 9 feet. Needless to say he was pretty embarrassed.

As for the sign, I think it is great. Maybe it was designed by one of the the NRA moles that is working for the Brady Campaign.

NINE FEET! Wow, I knew firing pin springs were powerful, but that is amazing...I do indeed learn something new every day.

great sign, they should post those at all "criminal beware locations" ( Like any place not a "gun-free zone")

I think they could tell visiting criminals "Please behave" it might be better than "Please be careful" because some careful ones still get caught.

Perhaps

CRIMINALS, CAUTION: your actions may have consequences.

It shows their true agenda --eliminating the right to self-defense and protecting criminals. They're clearly less upset by guns, and very much more upset by the notion that someone might defend himself against a thug.

Here's a test for you: Take your 1911, MAKE SURE IT IS UNLOADED, turn it upward, cock the hammer and drop a pencil, eraser down, into the barrel. Pull the trigger and see how high it goes. If your firing pin spring is what it needs to be, the pencil will hit the ceiling.

It it goes THROUGH the ceiling, refer to the red text.

We need those for Texas!
