Feeling a lot safer now...


Street Sign

  1. Yup, that oughtta stop the criminals. I'd feel so much safer if *our* town posted one of these.
    Our strangest sign was on the hill of dirt next door, some joker climbed up with a 'bump' street sign and placed it smack on top.

  2. I agree with you about that sign. Ridiculous and a waste of taxpayers dollars I'd say. I am thinking now about signs in my area and when I find something interesting I'll pass it along.

  4. You have a point there. Law abiding people would obey the sign, but criminals won't go put their drugs and guns away to obey the sign.

  6. There are similar signs posted at the entry ways at the hospital where I work. I think it says something like "Fire Arms are strictly prohibited."

  7. I haven't seen a sign like that before. I always wonder when the city orders them if they really think it's going to stop someone from bringing a gun or drugs or whatever into city limits. It's really not!

  9. Oh dear, I agree with one of the other posters that it's a waste of taxpayers dollars, and who thinks it will really work.
