Daily Photo: Look At These Guns

Posted by seeninstl on Jul 1, 2008

One thing that is an adjustment for us moving to St. Louis is how many of the people you talk to on the street might be carrying a concealed firearm. This is heavy NRA country, and people imagine that carrying a gun will help prevent violence. We are constantly reminded of how many people might have guns on them by all these signs we see in doorways and windows: “No Firearms Allowed.” This is one of my favorites, on the window of one of our favorite watering holes in Laclede’s Landing, The Feisty Bulldog.

Daily Photo: Scary Signs

Posted by seeninstl on Jun 19, 2008

D.J. and I disagree about this: I think these kind of signs only encourage people to persist in their belief that downtown is a dangerous place to spend your time. (So many of D.J.’s old friends in St. Louis have made jokes since we have moved here about not wanting to visit us because they don’t want their car broken into.) D.J. thinks its prudent for the city to warn people, since he thinks most people lack common sense. What do you think?
