I'm guessing since they didn't realize what they were saying until I brought it to their attention.

Okay, back to topic.

I think the sign is rediculous and highly doubt anyone with a lick of sense would actually put it up. That sign + owning a gun = trouble.

With that said; even if my neighbor openly hated guns, and he was being robbed, I'd bet my house he'd appreciate my use of pinpointed violence to save his arse.

I can think of more appropriate warnings to place on my home:

I've considered one that says:

Yes, MY stuff is worth more to ME than YOUR life.

I didn't give it much thought until one day while ripping a belt of .50 BMG through a M2, the Sheriff's Dept showed up. I knew the Deputy and he explained the neighbor complained. I said "so"? And he said exactly. He cleared the call and we got down to business and had a bunch of fun until the neighbor showed up all lathered up. The Deputy explained I was not violating any laws and he whined that in California this would not be tolerated. I said "Look here, slick, you are not in CA but in the United States where freedom actually means something." He moved out next week.
I wish you were my neighbor.

I love that story and surely hope it is true. Some lefties just can't take that much truth.

Well yeah, but I think there might be one or two liberal robbers who would think that a gator was no more than those on The Swamp. Maybe liberals just don't watch that show.

It's a free country but it's a little juvenile.

I guess I would be forced to place a sign on my lawn indicating the hours my neighbors are at work.

The sign is good for a laugh, but I don't know any gun owners who would actually put that up in front of their house. Most gun owners tend to be responsible people who would come to a neighbor's aid if needed. Also remember, some non-gun owners simply are not interested in guns but do not actively advocate for restrictions on 2nd Amendment rights. I respect their preferences.
