As with any state that passes concealed carry laws, the gun fearing wussies go on the war path and press local businesses to ban guns from their property. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch notes that some companies are already planning to put up "no guns allowed" signs.

The law prohibits guns being taken into stadiums holding more than 5,000 people, hospitals, places of worship, casinos or bars without the owner's consent. But other workplaces will need to post signs if they want to keep weapons out.

That is completely untrue. Posting signs will not keep firearms out. Metal detectors will not keep firearms out. Simply put, there is absolutely no way to keep firearms out of any place. It cannot be done.

We cannot even keep guns and knives out of our prisons, or off of our airplanes. What makes anyone think that merely hanging up a sign is going to work?

The Post-Dispatch also notes that companies are reminding employees that they are not permitted to bring firearms to work. Now, most employers have such a policy, and it is usually for liability reasons, especially in today's litigious society. Still, check out some of the anti-gun rhetoric.

"It's the same (policy), I suspect, of any ethical company - we prevent firearms on our site," said Mike Montague, spokesman for the drug giant Pfizer Inc.

Ethical? Banning firearms may be practical when speaking in terms of legal liability, but lets not bring ethics into it. There is nothing ethical or unethical about carrying a gun. There is, however, something quite unethical about blowing someone's head off for no good reason. I hate to sound cynical, but no sign or policy is going to prevent that.

In fact, creating a "gun free" zone actually makes you more of a target for violence. If you disagree with me, I challenge you to put a sign in front of your house that says "No guns inside", and we'll see how long it takes for the baddies to realize that you are an easy mark.
