How many armed robbers when walking to a business to rob will turn and walk away because they saw a no-firearms sign? Zero.
When given a choice between a business with the sign and one without, they will choose the one with the sign 100 percent of the time.
How many people have been arrested, charged, found guilty, fined or spent jail time because they disobeyed a sign like “No shoes, no shirt, no service” or “All returnable cans and bottles must be clean and dry”? Zero.
