concealed-carry signs: a follow-up
In my post on the new signs for businesses to post in order to prohibit concealed firearms on their properties, I noted Wichita Eagle editorial board writer Rhonda Holman’s question:
Why don’t the 46 other concealed-carry states seem to have no-gun signs all over the place?
At least two such other states have them. John B. of Blog Meridian, a transplanted Texan now in Wichita with ties back to Texas, notes that many Texas businesses have them. And visitor “jeffk”, of Minnesota, reports that similar signs can be seen in many locations there as well.
As I said, if I had a permit and a firearm, the sign alone would not be a factor in determining whether I did business with someone or not. If a business I patronized regularly posted a sign, I wouldn’t stop going there; nor would I necessarily shun a business I didn’t regularly use because of the sign.
The questions I really want answers to are these — can I carry a pack of concealed cigarettes into a Massachusetts Street bar? Can I carry a concealed charcoal grill on my own apartment patio?

And now they wanna make tazers a legal option too.
Any thoughts on that?
I don’t like the fact that many people wanna compare this with concealed carry.
Apples & oranges.

I had thought they were, but I believe only less-powerful handheld “stun guns” were okay. Tasers can be used in this fashion in what’s called “drive-stun” mode.
This may sound crazy, but I’d imagine guns are easier for most people to handle, as well as being easier to practice with. I think it would be hard to find practice targets for a Taser.
