Had to stop there yesterday to pick something up. They are not a storefront but a suite inside a building. They had a note taped to the outside of their front door that read:
If You Are One Of Those Goofy People Who Need To Carry A Gun You Are Not Welcome Here! GeckoByte

OK, that would make me crack up if I saw it on a business.

To be honest all the ironic stupidity contained in that note did make me chuckle a bit.

Come on guys, can't you read? I'm neither goofy nor do I Need to carry a gun. I am quite clear headed and sane and I choose to carry a gun. It's OBVIOUS they're not talking about ME, right?

like plblark said, its awful easy to get around that.
If the question gets asked when you walk in, you state "I have neither a big red nose, nor do I have long floppy ears. I am very serious about carrying a gun as you are serious about pocket protectors. My gun protects me, just as your pocket protector is a barrier to that Pilot G2 you are packing."
So many fun ways to take that, so little time.

I'm reminded of something a friend told me the other day- you have to handle situations like this as a dog would:
I you can't eat it or hump it, piss on it and walk away...

Let's see ...
"goofy". Check
"people". Check
"Need". Check
"Carry a gun". Check.
Sounds like they've got my number down pretty well
One of the guys from Nano Systems is on the forum here so why would I want to do business with those clueless hippies in Duluth?
