Guns: A Stupid Idea

While I'm here in Houston visiting Grandma, it's almost inevitable that I come across the infamous "30.06 signs," which are supposed to read:

"PURSUANT TO SECTION 30.06, PENAL CODE (TRESPASS BY HOLDER OF
A LICENSE TO CARRY A CONCEALED HANDGUN) A PERSON LICENSED
UNDER SUBCHAPTER H, CHAPTER 411, GOVERNMENT CODE
(CONCEALED HANDGUN LAW), MAY NOT ENTER THIS PROPERTY WITH A
CONCEALED HANDGUN."

The purpose of these signs is to disarm, by definition, law-abiding citizens who have a valid CHL. To me, these are the silliest signs in the world. The fact that some businesses waste money etching this on their front window glass is even more asinine. You might as well put up a sign saying, "No Criminals Allowed" for all the good it's going to do.

The "No Guns, No Money" cards are a good way to fight such foolishness.
