“As a mom of a 17-year-old, of course I’m concerned about her safety," said Linda Magid, a volunteer with Moms Demand Action in San Antonio. "I’m concerned about my safety and I’m concerned about the safety of our community."
Moms Demand Action volunteers plan on educating local business owners this weekend about legal ways to prevent people with guns from entering, whether or not they have a license to carry.
It involves signage citing Texas penal code 30.05.
“We’re asking businesses to allow that 11-by-17 space and put a sign up to keep people (who) maybe aren’t allowed to have that firearm, legally not allowed to have that firearm or just have no training at all to carry a weapon into a store or restaurant,” Magid said. |

The criminals don't obey laws and ignore signs prohibiting concealed carry.
The law abiding gun owners are not the problem.

When an abuser has access to a firearm, the risk of their intimate partner being killed is increased by 500%, Del Gallo said.
When a victim has access to a firearm, the risk of being inured or killed is cut by 75%, says the FBI statistics. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
