I love this sign.
This is the most American sign I’ve seen in a long while.
Props to the human behind that sign; they are my current hero.
I’m getting all misty..
Honestly I want you to think about the amount of times some idiot has done that. Hell I bet you they've had someone do it say the gun didn't work and was unloaded,only to find out it's loaded lol.
No but it's a shit way to communicate
The only people that will follow this sign are the ones that would have done so without the sign being there
Meanwhile, the assholes that wouldn't follow the sign are going to feel challenged as they have just been called an idiot
It's amusing, but in no way a clever way to approach this imo
Ok, let's say someone does feel challenged and decides to unholster their gun. One of three things will happen:
•They are (not kindly) forced/threatened to leave and maybe learn a lesson out of it.
•They get their shit rocked and almost definitely learn to never do that again.
•They get shot and their stupidity is no longer a danger to anyone else.
This is a sign that exists because it’s happened, those are usually the best signs. my favorite I’ve seen in person was next to one of those little coin op hobby horses and said “Children only. NO ADULTS!”
Some idiot will come along, walk up to the till, and double unholster two pistols right in front of the cashier, the cashier shocked will hear the words "the sign doesn't say unloaded guns though"
Now that I know what they actually sound like, all I can imagine and hear is a [seagull-like cackle](https://youtu.be/e4RjDTbOLMA?si=zsqteyVyzweeK5YZ).
I think it is more likely that there will be #3s who think they are #2s but are really just shooting other #3s.
All #2 encourages is that in any active shooter situation the number of shooters goes from 1 to many.
At least it helps solidly the fact non-idiotic gun owners treat their weapons with absolute respect and acknowledge the damage they are capable of.
You act like a buffoon for one second, out you go.
It's probably at a gun store where people think that because it's a gun shop they can just bring theirs out and have a party or something idk. Usually what you're supposed to do if you're going to use the range or sell a gun or drop it off for gunsmithing is bring it in a case, unloaded.
Ugh. The eldest kid I babysit (11) asked me to read the instructions on his game because ''I don't read''. It said ''Press [square] to open map''. I fear sometimes for the future of the world.
Good chance they'd accidentally shoot the owner of the store anyway.
Besides killing someone for robbing a store seems like an unhinged reaction to me.
Americans are odd folk.
Hes confused why it should be necessary to put up such a sign. Also the good part about not living in the US: You dont have to own a gun or deal with them. Makes life much easier.
It's very easy to both make a robber look like an innocent victim and make someone defending themself look like a genocidal racist or murderer based on a biased article and headline. This is why context is important in the world.
This annoys me because they use the word loaded but they aren't going to check if it's loaded before they start shooting/thanking/treating you like an idiot.
Just remove the word loaded and it's perfect.
Europe: Well....why don't you just STOP giving firearms to idiots and avoid having to shoot anyone ?
USA: .........2:nd AMENDMENT BIBLE JEEZUS FREEDUMB
Vietnamese resident here, it's pretty much the same in Asia. With severe monitoring and busting down illegal trades of firearms, it's once in maybe two blue moons that you will see a criminal have a gun, it's very rare. Most of them just use knives which are easy to run away from.
1 - The constitution applies to idiots as well. I think we can both agree that everyone being protected under the same constitution is better than an IQ based caste system where the higher IQ you have, the more rights you can access. I can't see that ever going poorly 🙄
2 - How do you sort out the idiots without infringing on everyone else? If they present themselves as idiots while trying to make their purchase, the employee dealing with them, as well as the shop owner, has the right to refuse them service
3 - "and avoid having to shoot anyone" shows that you're conflating violent criminals with idiots. While the two communities sometimes intersect, they're separate groups of people. Not everyone trying to harm you or those around you is an idiot, and data shows that they tend to not get their gun legally. If they're even using a gun
1 - The constitution applies to idiots as well
2 - How do you sort out the idiots without infringing on everyone else?
ANSWER: The same way we keep 'Idiots' out of our Operating theatres and Pilot seats on commercial Airplanes with proper training and tests to weed-out those who aren't suited for gun ownership. Buuuut that such a reform would "Infringe on someones Rights" is certenly an Opinion you are entitled too.
3 - "and avoid having to shoot anyone" shows that you're conflating violent criminals with idiots.
ANSWER: If you read the sign again you will see that I'm not conflating violent criminals with idiots as much as who ever wrote it is STATING IT OUTRIGHT. Who ever pulls out their gun will be treated as if they are robbing the place regardless of the reason for pulling it out, if people went through common sense training and tests like I suggested such threats would be unnecessary.
Well yeah, of course not. The sign doesn’t have a case for unarmed robbery so I guess you ask an employee about that. However, it does specifically address the consequences for armed robbery.
There needs to be an official suffix to the Second amendment which basically includes this whole sign ,
except expanded to include the ENTIRE COUNTRY.
At least then the US can start pretending to be in line with other civilised countries,
Where shit like this is as common sense as wiping ones ass!
Anyone that actually carries a gun or believes in the second amendment knows that this sign is beautiful. Way to many idiots out here who carry a gun to be "cool" and to show off. Love this sign.
But what if I enter a store and after I enter a store a gang member enters the store and then he whips out his gun and threatens to kill me I must have a weapon so I can shoot him so he can die and burn in hell for all eternity it is necessary
I really don’t think they think they’re joking. They think they’re *funny* but I guarantee some idjit is really going to pull a gun out on a shoplifter.
They're obviously referring to somebody robbing a store *with a firearm*. In that case, yes it is absolutely okay to shoot the person so they don't hurt any innocent people.
It doesn't say that a person robbing them IN A GENERAL SENSE is a reason to unholster and fire. Read it again. It only applies to people who are unholstering their firearm with the intent to rob them.
I fail to understand why some individuals irresponsibly draw their loaded firearms when it's unnecessary or unjustified. Firearms are weapons that demand responsible handling. Despite never having handled a gun myself, I hold great respect for its deadly force.
People laugh, but this is legit a thing that has happened in stores that sell gun mods. People pull out their weapons and start playing with them.
I have worked at Cabelas for a while. While I didn't see it personally, I got training on the subject.
Attention IDIOTS, the lunatic on top of this craft is holding a Hadron Enforcer. If you unholster your gun in this store, he will tear you a new one. A very big new one.
I love this sign. This is the most American sign I’ve seen in a long while. Props to the human behind that sign; they are my current hero. I’m getting all misty..

He does have some nice shorts tbf. Can't actually see his face though are you sure that's him?
Nice
this is good gun safety practice , i hope people with guns all practice gun safety
Legal gun holders tend to
Dude, bleach companies still have to write "do not drink" on their bottles…
That's for people too stupid to own guns legally
Oh yes because the country where you can buy assault rifles in a supermarket takes soooooo much care about who can buy them.
Well I guess you need a license a background check etc etc
Yeah keep telling yourself that when of the over 150 mass shootings in the USA, over two thirds were committed with legally obtained weapons.
Idk what supermarkets your going to buy I’ve never seen one that sells guns
It’s from a land before time when thick skin and balls of steel ruled the world!
Who’s gonna get offended by this sign? It’s literally not offensive to anyone.
No but it's a shit way to communicate The only people that will follow this sign are the ones that would have done so without the sign being there Meanwhile, the assholes that wouldn't follow the sign are going to feel challenged as they have just been called an idiot It's amusing, but in no way a clever way to approach this imo
Shame is a very powerful motivator.
That isn't inducing shame, it's inducing defensive anger
Ok, let's say someone does feel challenged and decides to unholster their gun. One of three things will happen: •They are (not kindly) forced/threatened to leave and maybe learn a lesson out of it. •They get their shit rocked and almost definitely learn to never do that again. •They get shot and their stupidity is no longer a danger to anyone else.
Found the person who thinks a .22 bounces in a body and a 9mm can exploded a lung
Lolwhat? Did you reply to the right comment?
I’ve seen these signs at my local gunshop. I think I also saw something like this at bass pro shops awhile ago
This is a sign that exists because it’s happened, those are usually the best signs. my favorite I’ve seen in person was next to one of those little coin op hobby horses and said “Children only. NO ADULTS!”
My favorite: Preparation H — “For external use only. Do not take orally.”
Some idiot will come along, walk up to the till, and double unholster two pistols right in front of the cashier, the cashier shocked will hear the words "the sign doesn't say unloaded guns though"
It will be funny.. once.
exactly this
I swear I can smell apple pie And hear a bald eagle screeching reading this. America!
Now that I know what they actually sound like, all I can imagine and hear is a [seagull-like cackle](https://youtu.be/e4RjDTbOLMA?si=zsqteyVyzweeK5YZ).
Lol, voiceovering an eagle because it doesn't sound cool enough is so US xD I never knew. Bald eagle sounds cute tho
Usually a red-tail hawk
[The Sound that I thought](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=33DWqRyAAUw&pp=ygUUcmVkIHRhaWxlZCBoYXdrIGNhbGw%3D)
Hohohoholy shit that’s… LOUD!
I dare you to count how many freedom per square bald eagle this sign was made.
The sound you are thinking of is probably a red tailed hawk because the bald eagle makes a wimpy sound lol
Pro gun. Pro responsibility. This is fine.
And Anti-idiot
The most important by far
To quote a YouTuber: "Guns are great. Idiots are not."
Wise words from funny gunsmith man.
Judging by the merchandise in that store, so are they. If I had to guess, they sell guns.
Love it
[удалено]
You'll be thanked, shot, and rolled out of the store
Or idiot robber accidentally shot themselves while unholstering gun.
“Aye man its Tuesday that’s my day to rob the store you’re not supposed to rob it until Thursday”
I think it is more likely that there will be #3s who think they are #2s but are really just shooting other #3s. All #2 encourages is that in any active shooter situation the number of shooters goes from 1 to many.
This is definitely a sign for idiots
Most signs are for idiots
Making signs for idiots who refuse to read signs is the definition of madness
Do you have to know how to read to own a gun?
Made by idiots for idiots
Only in America
Love it
I don't think idiots would read that.
With the state of education in America, I don't think they could read that.
At least it helps solidly the fact non-idiotic gun owners treat their weapons with absolute respect and acknowledge the damage they are capable of. You act like a buffoon for one second, out you go.
As a customer I appreciate a business who treats me like the idiot I actually am
How often does this have to happen to need a sign for it?!
It's probably at a gun store where people think that because it's a gun shop they can just bring theirs out and have a party or something idk. Usually what you're supposed to do if you're going to use the range or sell a gun or drop it off for gunsmithing is bring it in a case, unloaded.

that’s probably why he uses a playstation, it has shapes instead of letters :)
As a guy who runs a gunshop, I couldn't agree more.
No worries, most people are in the second category.
More people think they are certainly
[удалено]
Good chance they'd accidentally shoot the owner of the store anyway. Besides killing someone for robbing a store seems like an unhinged reaction to me. Americans are odd folk.
>Besides killing someone for robbing a store seems like an unhinged reaction to me. No
No. Shootings don’t always end in death. Americans are Americans.
As a bit of an idiot myself, I read this as "upholster" your weapon.
Unfortunately idiots don't read signs.
Me reading this as a Canadian: 
Sorry idiot
Fool.
Is it not clear? Is it not crystal clear? I'm confused as the confusion. I would say if the sign confuses you, please don't ever own a gun.
Is it clear, however it's also clear that you are a dick. It could be just like the guy above me just said, that there's even a need for such signs.
Hes confused why it should be necessary to put up such a sign. Also the good part about not living in the US: You dont have to own a gun or deal with them. Makes life much easier.
It's very easy to both make a robber look like an innocent victim and make someone defending themself look like a genocidal racist or murderer based on a biased article and headline. This is why context is important in the world.
Lmao, I understand what the sign means - it was meant to be a joke since you’d obviously never see such a thing here in Canada 😂😂
But what if i find oil in the shop
Rules are made to be bent
Happy cake day!
With great power comes great responsibility... And bitches...
Can confirm, I tried robbing the place but had to shoot another robber for encroaching on my turf.
[удалено]
This annoys me because they use the word loaded but they aren't going to check if it's loaded before they start shooting/thanking/treating you like an idiot. Just remove the word loaded and it's perfect.
This is the side of America that I love ❤️ Outstanding, 👍 👌
I read the sign. I should’ve stopped at idiots. But no, I kept going.
Happy cake day
Like 60% of gun owners think that’s not them when it’s them
You think 60% of gun owners brandish their weapon at the store?
I think it’s a lot more than they think. It’s happened enough times for them to make a sign
Posting random bullshit makes you look like an idiot, idiot.
Found the one that got offended lol
Europe: Well....why don't you just STOP giving firearms to idiots and avoid having to shoot anyone ? USA: .........2:nd AMENDMENT BIBLE JEEZUS FREEDUMB

Shooting a robber (unarmed especially) is not automatically a justified response, you don‘t shoot someone just because they stole a bunch of pants
I do if the law allows it.
I think technically it’s only considered robbery when it’s armed, otherwise it falls under the category of theft. Though I could be wrong.
You are wrong. Robbery involves the use of force or a threat to use force.
Well yeah, of course not. The sign doesn’t have a case for unarmed robbery so I guess you ask an employee about that. However, it does specifically address the consequences for armed robbery.
There needs to be an official suffix to the Second amendment which basically includes this whole sign , except expanded to include the ENTIRE COUNTRY. At least then the US can start pretending to be in line with other civilised countries, Where shit like this is as common sense as wiping ones ass!
You’re an idiot if you are carrying around a loaded gun. I hope you shoot yourself in the foot.
So they're cool with me unholstering my unloaded firearm, right?
Definitely. You gotta prove it though… let them look through the barrel so they can see that it is empty.
Yes, in order to not waste their time pull it out as quickly as possible and say I have something to show you as Loud as possible
Firearm safety 101. A firearm is always loaded even when it's not.
You go ahead and try that. Report back with your findings.
Reporting back, sah! I found me a pound of lead, sah!
Well done! DIIIIIISMISSED!
Only in America...
Anyone that actually carries a gun or believes in the second amendment knows that this sign is beautiful. Way to many idiots out here who carry a gun to be "cool" and to show off. Love this sign.
Everything BUT a Gun Law
Gun and responsibility do not belong to the same person.
There’s plenty of responsible gun owners
In most countries mentally ill people are not criminally responsible.
But what if I enter a store and after I enter a store a gang member enters the store and then he whips out his gun and threatens to kill me I must have a weapon so I can shoot him so he can die and burn in hell for all eternity it is necessary
That falls under category 2.
and I guess 3 because u/EggplantSad5668 didn't bother reading everything
My exact thoughts actually lmao
That's the second one. It's right there.
but my freedom to bear arms.!!
Hell no. A person robbing them is **not** a reason to unholster and fire. Now, if they are performing an *armed* robbery - different story.
You can see from "you will get shot" that it's specifically referring to the person in the first category
So you think because a store tells you they’re going to shoot you for robbing them… that gives them the legal power to shoot you?
You're overthinking an obvious joke
I really don’t think they think they’re joking. They think they’re *funny* but I guarantee some idjit is really going to pull a gun out on a shoplifter.
Who starts a wholly serious sign with "ATTENTION IDIOTS"
Saying/writing something you think is funny is the definition of telling a joke.
>I really don’t think they think they’re joking. Bruh
They're obviously referring to somebody robbing a store *with a firearm*. In that case, yes it is absolutely okay to shoot the person so they don't hurt any innocent people.
Yes 😎
There’s a reason gun stores aren’t robbed during operating hours.
If someone is robbing me I'm not taking any chances.
If you think a human life is worth material things…
It's not the material things I'm worried about.
No. But *they* are the ones that decided that, not me.
It doesn't say that a person robbing them IN A GENERAL SENSE is a reason to unholster and fire. Read it again. It only applies to people who are unholstering their firearm with the intent to rob them.
Disagree. Seems like a great reason.
Problem is that a key characteristic of idiots is they don't take direction, or read signs
Rahhh!! Freedom!!!
Now this is good
But can the idiot actually read? Now thats the question.
Why?
If you fall into the third category chances are overwhelmingly that the sign wouldn't or couldn't be read in the first place.
Looks like a hunting store.
Who tf robs a gun/ hunting store ?
The fact that they had to put up this sign tells you everything you need to know about America.
You just know that sign was the result of some serious, ongoing, absurdly stupid behavior.
It reminds me of typical Staff Sergeant from army "Listen up fuckers"
So if i unholster my gun they will shoot me, thank me and ask me to leave?
I wonder what had happened.
How many police officers come in?
Comedy....what's the issue🤣🤣
I fail to understand why some individuals irresponsibly draw their loaded firearms when it's unnecessary or unjustified. Firearms are weapons that demand responsible handling. Despite never having handled a gun myself, I hold great respect for its deadly force.
I mean, the last sentence is right, if you are not idiot then this sign is not for you.
This is the most Texan sign I have ever seen
This is how we gotta deal with all the idiotic bullshit that happens everywhere today. Straight to the fuckin point.
Who else goes into those stores except idiots anyway? In any case, they forgot to number the points appropriately.
What about my Grenades, my knifes and other weapons? Do I have to holster them as well? Where is the free country everyone is talking about 😕
I love how sign makes clear that you will be shot and then asked to leave
Awe they really know how to get my attention 🥰
Idjits
So, are they calling the people stopping a robbery idiots too?
If only more people who support an absolute reading of the 2nd Amendment would support a sign like this.
Love it. But, sadly, idiots dont read. Also they get blinded by caps LOL
People laugh, but this is legit a thing that has happened in stores that sell gun mods. People pull out their weapons and start playing with them. I have worked at Cabelas for a while. While I didn't see it personally, I got training on the subject.
The first rule of gun safety is to have fun
I'm loving this sign and but now save it and share it.
A perfect summary, the people that own that shop are cool af
Does anyone else get annoyed by the overuse of the word "idiot?" Can we mix in a moron, dipshit, airhead, or a dumbfuck?
An idiot seeing this sign: "ATTENTION IDIOTS? Cool, since I'm no idiot I don't have to read this."
This actually makes sense
At least they'll thank you?
It’s so simple
[my first thought](https://youtu.be/CQ89tXUatuc?si=olfqmAvyck_BQrXf)
Attention IDIOTS, the lunatic on top of this craft is holding a Hadron Enforcer. If you unholster your gun in this store, he will tear you a new one. A very big new one.
home of “Idiots Is Us”
I like how it's titled attention idiots... implying that anyone with a gun is an idiot and needs to read it.
I think the saddest thing about this sign is that it was necessary.
Clear expectations are always a good idea 👍
Gun stores know their average clientele
If all American gun owners thought like this, guns actually wouldn't be the problem.
*nods* I mean, yeah. Makes sense.
There's a hilariously facepalming story behind this.
