"This place prohibits guns"

[question everything]

Several years ago, when the State of Minnesota allowed people to carry concealed weapons, many establishments posted signs that said: ABC prohibits guns on these premises.

I have often wondered what kind of message this sends to visitors but, I suppose, the RNC loved it.

One of the places is my gym, at least, at its main fancy location. It has been purchasing other gyms and I don't think that they carry the same sign.

One has to wonder the cost for a place to have an armed security guard at each entrance checking all packages, vs. paying dearly for a law suit, that, no doubt, will follow.

1. A shotting from the hip coward "U", right?

I suppose you are all for deranged men to go into a gym and start shooting women.

3. Either that or for the women to have a six shooter strapped to them while they exercise.

:shrug: America is one sick nation and it is getting worse instead of better..IMO

4. I suppose we have a gungeon for this crap, right?

2. wow this is one idiotic post

If you need to carry a weapon to your gym, I suggest you change gyms. If you can't find a gun friendly gym, you could always just do push ups at home and save a bundle, which you could use to buy even more guns so you can feel even more put upon.

5. How about not wanting to leave it in the car while you work out?

For the vast majority of us, its just a tool, nothing more.

6. so you're going to wear it in your holster while you work out?

stick it in the band of your sweatpants?

what are you going to do with it while you work out if you don't leave it in your car?

8. Mine goes in a locker with my own lock. Its more secure than a parked car

I transport it in the gym bag, no one sees it and the health club does not mind. There are a lot of LEOs who workout here and they do the same thing.

10. This is one idiotic response

From where did you get the idea that one has to carry guns to the gym?

I do think, however, that checking people's bags at the entrance could have merit.

BRIDGEVILLE, Pa. — A man who sprayed bullets into a fitness class filled with women, killing three and then himself, apparently kept a Web page in which he wrote about years of rejection by women and an earlier plan for violence at the gym in which he said he "chickened out."

Another misogynist asshole with a gun.

Jordan Solomon, 14, of Mount Lebanon, was in the all-female class and told The Associated Press on Wednesday that it started normally, but she thought it weird when a man walked into the class about 15 minutes later. Solomon said the man put a black duffel bag on the ground.

... The gunman fired multiple weapons "indiscriminately" and didn't say anything before unleashing a burst of bullets, Moffatt said. Moffatt said police recovered at least two guns from the scene and a note from the shooter's duffel bag, but he would not say who wrote it.

"I don't think anyone could have stopped him," Moffatt said.

Five of the wounded victims arrived in critical condition at UPMC Mercy Hospital, but three of them were upgraded to serious condition by early Wednesday. Two women remained in fair condition at another Pittsburgh hospital. One victim was treated and released for a shoulder wound and a woman with a bullet wound to the knee remained in stable condition Wednesday.

Now, if only a few of those women had had their pistols strapped to their persons as they went about their aerobics business, maybe he would have killed only one or two of them before somebody got him.

Obviously, the facility should have had an armed guard, or two, in every room.

Then maybe he would only have killed one or two people before the guard got him. Unless he shot the guard first, of course. But I'll bet that would never have occurred to him ...
