When I'm in another state where people can go around armed I always have felt safer in buildings with signs prohibiting guns. Now that Wisconsin has joined the concealed carry craziness we all need to take steps to feel safe. First of all we should tell local businesses or churches we will only patronize them if they replace signs on their doors welcoming everyone with signs saying people with guns are not welcome. When people see someone walk out of a building with these signs they will feel safer. These signs have already prevented tragedies in on other states .
Next, we should all put signs banning guns on our own property. You can do this under the new law. Better yet go on the Internet and order a T-shirt or button saying your body is a gun-free zone so people you meet don't have to worry if you're armed and of course wear the shirts or buttons on the outside. People on the paranoid right claim these steps would mean you are setting yourself up to be a crime victim but since criminals mostly go after weapons when they rob people or houses they will know there is nothing on you or in your house worth stealing and will look for other targets.
