"This Home Is Proudly Gun-Free"

Journalists reject personal

Many media personalities have their own armed guards
Jan 11, 2013

Although most members of the news media publicly endorse officially designating schools, movie theaters and other venues as “gun-free zones,” you’d never know it from their private actions.

Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe says many media members are reluctant to proclaim their support for “gun-free zones” if it gets too close to home

O’Keefe’s crew asked journalists working for CNN, MSNBC and others whether they would put a sign in their lawn that says “Citizens Against Senseless Violence. THIS HOME IS PROUDLY GUN FREE!”

“No journalist wanted the sign,” he says. “Many journalists had armed guards.”

“We also showed up at Eric Holder’s house,” O’Keefe added. “Authorities came to protect him

Hypocritical bastards all, should we really be surprised?

You could query this to anyone in the general population and you wouldn't get a taker.

no shit.

i bet the op thought he had a point, though.

You might post a sign like that (which would be the truth) if you could rig up your home to release poison gas in all the rooms except your bedroom if an intruder breaks into your home. The release of gas could be triggered by one of those motion sensing intruder alarms.

You're a goddamn genius.

Mr. H, how come WE don't think up stuff like that?

People wouldn't put up those sings because its an invitation to be robbed. I am not surprised they declined.

Just imagine how wonderful it will be for the criminals when they know no one is allowed to have weapons.

It will be a happy hunting ground. For the bad guys.....

Wouldn't it make perfect sense for owners of firearms to post the sign you speak of?

It would certainly reduce the number of criminals on the streets.

Nope, the libs would want to bust you for murder for lying to a bad guy and enticing them into a protected area. Criminals have rights ya know.

Exactly. That's why it's more fun to put one out but not be gun free.

Hehe, that's not a bad idea, actually.

It would ensure the same response as the signs that say "Beware of Dog" or "My dog can cross the yard in 10 seconds, can you?". If someone gets hurt the jury at the civil trial decides that you knew you had a dangerous animal and you neglected to restrict its movement; you are guilty of negligence that caused harm and thus must pay millions and have the dog killed.

I thought about putting signs that said, "Beware of Owner" or "There is nothing in this house worth your life" but the same thing would happen - I would lose the lawsuit because I planned the confrontation. I just let folks guess what is behind door #1, #2 and #3. Do you feel lucky, punk? You better be or be real compliant when you get in. There are only two ways out once you break in - escorted by the police or carried by the coronor.

Dictators do not believe that people deserve the same comfort and safety they enjoy. They don't believe they are our equals, rather they are above all of us little people. While some are starting to argue that none of us should have any guns at all, the politicians insist on security that goes above and beyond what the average person has now.

They know damn well that a well trained person with a gun is the best protection. They have it and are not about to give it up. Your family is not as worthy as theirs. Got it?

My thoughts exactly. We wouldn't be playing fair and it's wrong to tell a rapist/murderer that the coast is clear when it really isn't.

If anything, put up signs saying you do have a dog, a gun, security alarm and cameras. If the stupid criminals can read, maybe they'll think twice. Maybe picture signs would be even better. Or have the signs in Spanish as well as English.

Couldn't agree more with your assessment. Although I don't recall the exact person (it was either Pelosi or Feinstein) that was busted for concealed carry (charges dropped, of course) a few years back.

Politicians and the Hollywood "elite" have no trouble whatsoever preaching to us "little people" about the evils of the citizenry owning guns while they travel in bullet-proof limos and with heavily armed security details. After all....they're "important".

I'm an old man. A combat vet and a gun owner. I own a Sig-Sauer P220, A Walther 380, a Smith and Wesson 357, a Baretta 12 Guage and a 30-06 Winchester. I don't threaten anyone. However, break into MY home and I promise you, that individual will be carried out in a bag.
