A few years ago I noticed a no firearms sign on the entrance to the Conestoga Mall in Grand Island. I went to the Mall office and asked why the sign was there and the answer was to make the mall a safe place. I explained how the sign in fact made the mall much less safe. The lady I was talking to then said it was an insurance requirement. I had expected this answer as there is nothing I could do or say to get around that. I explained that until the no firearm signs came down I would no longer be shopping at the mall and then left. Two nights ago I happened to be at the mall. I had intended to wait outside until my family finished their business in the mall. As I approached the entrance I noticed that the no firearm signs were gone. I don't know when they signs went down but once again the squeaking wheel got the grease. It may take a while but sooner or later complaining about the no firearm signs does produce results. That is 3 places that have removed their no firearm signs after I complained. Slow but sure!!

I explain that by refusing to allow me, a trained and licensed permit holder, to carry a self defense weapon into your business you are saying that you will indemnify me from all harm. So, if while patronizing your business I get injured or killed because your sign didn't deter a mad man or terrorists from carrying a weapon into your store and using it, and you have no armed guards present to protect me, you will assume all my medical expenses and/or funeral expenses, and supply my family the income I would have brought in had I not been injured or killed in your establishment.
Of course, I won't patronize until the sign is taken down. That goes without saying.

In essence that is what I told the lady I was talking to.
