If it said "[name of business] BANS GUNS IN THESE PREMISES." then it would be a legal sign, but hotels are not among the businesses allowed to ban (at least for their guests), so it's still not a ban.

I don’t, apart from any other evidence of stupidity, trust a reporter writing on this issue that can’t even get “shall issue” correct.

It gives us more insight as to the depths of their insanity. Note how they define upholding Liberty (the right to bear arms) as "taking away local discretion". I love that one. Lets apply that position to some other hallmarks of a free society: Nation-wide Emancipation takes away local discression regarding the keeping of slaves. The First Amendment takes away local discression regarding the confiscation of computers and printing machines and it takes away local discression to ban Southern Baptists from holding public office. The Fourth Amendment takes away local discression regarding door-to-door searches and property confiscation. I guess we're not "free" after all if we don't have local discression to ban or confiscate anything we want, or enslave anyone we want. These people are dangerous if trusted to any political power whatsoever. They wouldn't make decent local dog catchers. I just want them to keep talking, writing, and producing idiotic ads.

If he wants to be a self-defence C.O., he should have to get a permit to not open carry, and show it on demand to any citizen that notices that he is shirking his civic duty to bear arms.
