His sign is NOT in accordance with South Carolina law...
SECTION 23-31-235. Sign requirements.

(1) clearly visible from outside the building;
(2) eight inches wide by twelve inches tall in size;
(3) contain the words "NO CONCEALABLE WEAPONS ALLOWED" in black one-inch tall uppercase type at the bottom of the sign and centered between the lateral edges of the sign;
(4) contain a black silhouette of a handgun inside a circle seven inches in diameter with a diagonal line that runs from the lower left to the upper right at a forty-five degree angle from the horizontal;
(5) a diameter of a circle; and
(6) placed not less than forty inches and not more than sixty inches from the bottom of the building's entrance door.

You'd think that someone so adamant about keeping law abiding gun owners from their establishment would know the laws....
PATHETIC.
Yes, the man is an idiot. I wonder what other business laws he doesn't know about, perhaps the Board of Health should pay his establishment a surprise visit.
Funny to see the lefties applauding discrimination.
But let the pub owner put up a sign saying "no blacks" and you'll see the same group applauding him now, do a 180.
I support the rights of a business owner to serve whom they please.
Except there is a big difference, between racism and bigotry, and not wanting weapons that have lethal potential, on his premises. Big Difference.
Using your logic, we should not make anything illegal because it will not stop someone from doing it anyway, right?
You are correct, laws prohibiting things do not stop anyone from doing them. Laws are meant to establish a basis for punishment. Requiring permits for carrying won't stop anyone from carrying without one.

I have nothing against business owners prohibiting weapons in their place of business....
The problem with putting those signs up though, is that they don't stop anyone from bringing a gun in anyway. The only people they keep from bringing weapons in are the people who you would want to be armed.... good people. People who follow the law and have respect for the wishes of the property owner. Criminals and irresponsible people are going to carry their weapons in anyway.
