barring concealed weapons (30.06) and/or openly-carried weapons (30.07). I have no problem with either, and they inform the public of the space's status. Personally, I hope few businesses would post a concealed-carry ban as this would force citizens with weapons to remove and store a weapon in a car, then holster up again, repeatedly. Such transfers may cause an increase both the chance of accidental discharge, and theft. I also believe there is a risk that CelebroPunks© may select a space which totally bans weapons because of the ease of inflicting mass casualties; no one ever accused these dips of illiteracy or of having substantial contempt for people who seem to invite mayhem.
