No Guns Cards

"No Guns" signs are bad for business.  Many business owners mistakenly believe a "No Guns" sign on their store fronts will protect their customers from violent criminal acts involving a firearm.  However, those intent on breaking the law aren't going to be disuaded by a sign.  Gun-free zones leave innocent people and their families defenseless.  Proponents of the right to self-defense may utilize these cards to help educate and inform businesses who believe disarming good people will protect them from bad ones.

Customers with weapons permits have:

NO felony convictions
NO domestic violence convictions
NO convictions involving firearms
NO restraining orders
NO warrants for their arrest
NO past drug or substance abuse
NO history of mental health illness

PASSED required federal background checks
PASSED certified firearm safety course or completed military small arms training

NEVER renounced US citizenship or been dishonorably discharged from the Armed Forces

CARD #1 - NO GUNS  |  STAR WARS VERSION

FRONT OF CARD:
SIGNS DO NOT DETER CRIMINALS
"Gun-free zones" create a false sense of security
BACK OF CARD:
SIGNS DON'T STOP CRIMINALS - ARMED CITIZENS DO
Rendering innocent people helpless does not make you safer and leaves families defenseless against acts of violence
 
This card is ideal for using as you are departing a "no guns" establishment that you have already concluded business with.  You might also slide this card across the table as you are going through the check-out process or paying your bill.  In some cases you don't necessarily want to turn around and walk out of a store just because you're excercising your right to self-defense.  However, it's still important to communicate to the business that their sign does NOT protect their customers.  This version is also good for leaving in any place where guns are prohibited, whether you are doing business there or not; tacked onto the bulletin board, in the "free drawing" fish bowl, etc.  The cards don't imply the business lost money - it simply helps them understand the error of their thinking in promoting a "gun-free zone".
 
  
CARD #2 - NO GUNS, NO MONEY  |  STAR WARS VERSION
 
v6-Front-NoMoney
 v6-Rear-NoMoney
Download: v6-Front-NoMoney.tif Download: v6-Rear-NoMoney.tif
 
FRONT OF CARD:
SAW THE SIGN & WILL SPEND MY MONEY ELSEWHERE
Don't support businsses that want you defenseless
BACK OF CARD:
GUN-FREE ZONES CREATE A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY
Your policies put customers at risk of acts of violence and prevent them from defending their families
 
The second version is for when you want a more impactful presentation of "I'm taking my money elsewhere" statement.  These cards can be given to a business to show them that you will NOT be spending money in their establishment due to their unsafe policies.  Store owners don't consider the risk they are placing families in while shopping in their "gun-free zones".  Letting them know you had to leave because you didn't want to risk your life or the life of your family sends a clear message.  Possibly the best way to impart such a message to a business is to impact their bottom dollar.  As the begin to understand how much money they may be losing because people won't submit to being made defenseless, they may be motivated to change their policies.
 
Both versions of the cards are two-sided with similar messages on the back.  The messages on the back help illustrate why individuals who carry weapons for self-defense are much more "safe" in terms of the rest of their potential customers.  They present a clear message of the level of accreditation required to possess and carry a weapon, as well as the criteria by which the individual is judged "safe".  It shows how lawful citizens with permits to carry weapons are not what a business should be protecting themselves against.  The messages also reinforce the ridiculous assumption that making good people helpless makes bad people harmless, and how futile the concept of "gun-free zones" are at providing safety.
