Why did you put law abiding citizens in quotes?

Typical hypocrisy.
If they're concealed how do you even know? What kind of parties do you go to?

"Non-law abiding citizens" could care less what the sign says.

What do you expect? You're asking people who aren't making the decision, and you're doing it in an insulting way.

Question Why is this a question for "Conservatives"?

All of the privately-owned workplaces I have been employed at, had no policy forbidding lawful concealed carry, it was only the big corporate employers that would have these rules.

Big corporate workplaces with "Human Resources" policies written by committees have all sorts of rules, has nothing to do with what is safe.

It's like Chris Rock once said. "Don't go to parties with metal detectors. Sure it feels safe inside, but what about all those people outside with guns? They know you ain't got one.".

I've always wondered how would they would even know if it's concealed. If you have to use it, they'd be pretty gutsy to press charges if you prevented a mass shooting.
You must avoid a lot of places then, seeing as how most places don't allow firearms. That being said, I agree with the last point. The word concealed means it can't be seen. Why do people complain about the gun free zones? If it's concealed and there's no metal detectors who is going to know if you have one? And I'm sure nobody would press charges if you prevented a mass shooting.

Let me get this straight

The more successful a company is ... the dumber they are, when it comes to guns
