I don't know if you've seen anything about this in the news, but it's all over the local media here, for both positive and negative reasons. The township next to mine, known as Conoy Township, has posted 16 signs as you enter the area stating "Welcome to Conoy Township. This is not a gun free zone". Personally, I love it! I understand the reasons for the signs. It's a heads-up to those who are looking to pursue their life of crime, and a warning that they may want to take it elsewhere, because we shoot back! One article I read quoted a resident as saying, "We're all rednecks and river rats here, we all hunt and have guns in the house, and that's how we like it". My wife and I drove over there today to take a pic of the sign and support the local economy. We think their stance on the subject of self defense, and not being afraid to tell the world about it, is fantastic. I read in another article that this is the first community in the country to post signs like this, and they've received e-mails from officials from other states that are interested in doing the same thing. We hope it spreads, and the criminals get the hint that they better think twice about breaking into homes in the area. Of course, the anti-gunners have already tried to make their point. The signs were up for less than a week and two of them were vandalized with spray paint. Some folks just won't accept any way of thinking other than their own. I'd be interested to hear what the folks here on TFL think. Good idea? Or waste of township money? (By the way, several residents have offered to pay for the signs themselves.) Here are a few articles, followed by a picture of the sign I photographed earlier today. Rock on, Conoy Township!
