School officials are no fans of gun ban signs (Illinois)

"A black gun with a red slash through it.

It is a sign of the times, as well as a sign that is sure to become ubiquitous.

While complying with state law isn’t a point of contention, some school administrators find the sticker’s image to be a bit alarming.

Tinley Park High School Principal Theresa Nolan said. “It is bothersome to have to post a sticker of a gun that says, ‘Hey, folks, leave your guns at home.’ ” Nolan said she is not opposed to posting it, she’s just worried that not enough people are aware of what it means and could misinterpret the new signage.

“I think the general public will be alarmed by it and wonder if people have been allowed to bring guns to school in the past,” she said. In her 22 years with Bremen Community High School District 228, she said, “I have no knowledge of guns ever being in this building.”

The "No Guns" signs the State Police created makes her uncomfortable? So the gun control supporters demanded a way to visibly ban law abiding gun owners, but they don't want to have to actually use the signs they demanded?

Ms. Nolan is not only strange ... but also dead ass wrong about guns in "this buildingl".

Pssst Ms., Nolan! History didn't start when you took over, and even a little research on her part might have saved her some additional embarrassment. From 1962 to 1964 and beyond, more than a few of us brought a 12 gauge (in my case a bolt action JC Higgins that must have weighed as much as a BAR with a full bandoleer) to school (with permission from the Principal and Dean) and left them lined up outside Mr. Nelson's (Principal) office door, (Now Ms. Nolan's office), while in class.

Then we walked home and hunted the cut over cornfields for ringnecks and rabbits on the way home.

I know how you feel. Now and then I run across people who would be very uncomfortable reflecting on my sig line. Theresa Nolan; there's another.
