I tend to agree, but do you want them on your porch when you give them the first warning? I want to warn them sufficiently before they are at spitting distance.
I saw a sign once that simply said "Caution, bear traps" I liked that one. You have to be subtle. If I were marauding I would be more inclined to go after the people I know have guns.
I'm thinking of spelling keep out with bullet holes...with the exit holes facing the approaching folks...means I gotta write backwards...but I'm game... or a sign that says "If you can read this...your at 827 yards and I holding about 2 mils over at the moment. Y'all might wanna leave!!!" and put a bell right above em and ring that sumbitch after about 2 seconds.
Well, on our two gates that front the road, I simply have Beware Of Dog and No Trespassing. And both gates stay locked closed 24/7/365, so I'm already covered.
I really wanted to put up Trespassers Will Be Shot. Survivors Will Be Shot Again. But I figured if I ever did shoot someone, even if it was legally righteous, the dead perp's family lawyer would ream my butt in the civil lawsuit trial over the sign.
Daddy, there have been lawsuits won over the "Beware of Dog" signs. You are admitting that your dog is vicious. If the dog does indeed bite someone, you are responsibly for owning a mean...biting...nasty dog. In a SHTF situation however, who cares? Just shoot the lawyer.
I would avoid the warning signs and try to make my place look like its already been trashed so people will keep moving right past to another more juicy target.
You are all making the assumption that ninjas and Crack heads read.
Similar to putting up a sign that says gun free zone has stopped mass killing.
In a true SHTF I will hang corpses from the trees that line my drive way and I will feed sig the wonder dog black powder for seasoning on the raw meet that I give him for breakfast. We will take shift watch just like the militarily.
Like the old sign, during pirate days some ports an areas hung pirates as a warning. Maybe hang some fake skeletons with signs saying who's next. Then string up the dead close by...
I've got a small window sticker, resembling a Brinks Home Security one.
It reads, "This home is protected by 2nd Amendment Securities." and depicts the profile of a handgun.
If/When the SHTF, signs will read: "Danger!
Level 3 Quarantine Zone!
Stay Away!" with a bio-hazard symbol
I saw some news coverage on the expected Ferguson protests and was paying attention to some of the businesses that have boarded up and spray painted "OPEN" on the plywood.
I got to thinking, it's a few weeks after SHTF, what kind of signs are you going to put out?
Or do you just hide completely and hope nobody notices that you are around.
I kind of like those "NO TRESPASSING, Survivors will be prosecuted" signs.
So how about "KEEP OUT, Beans, Bullets or Booze, nobody stays for free"
OR "Keep out unless you know what BOB, BIL, BOV, SHTF, TEOTWASKI and GOOD mean"
OR A couple 'dead' mannequins and a sign that says "STAY OUT or take a dirt nap"
I used to like number one about survivors being prosecuted..then my girl cousin offered an improvement. Her sign says.."Trespasser will be shot. Survivors will be shot again." Thought that one was pretty catchy. lol
