I have some signs I purchased months ago. I had every intention of putting them up till I started to over think the situation. The signs read "No Shooting in This Area." They are meant to go on the fence in the parking lot with a few left over for the safe areas.

Have you noticed the Deer Crossing signs while traveling down some out of the way country road? Did they have bullet holes in them? I'd bet a dollar they did. I've never seen a No Shooting sign but I'd bet another dollar it would have holes in it, too. It's as if the signs are a dare. They seem to stir up the inner rebel in us and nearly demand that action be taken.

Right now there are only a few very old, very faded paint splotches on the parking lot fence. I can't help but imagine that putting the signs up would invite more paint. I should probably just leave things as they are.
