I'm sorry to hear that. It's hard to get people to admit that the signs do not make them safer. Quite the opposite is actually true. In my case, I had the opportunity to spend time with the decision maker. I asked him why the signs were a good idea and then one by one calmly showed him the lack of logic in his reasoning. It took some time for me, this happened over the course of several months. And I would never have been successful if I hadn't got him to open up to me and explain his reasoning. Also, I didn't ridicule him for his flawed logic, I just exposed other ideas and asked him to think about it.

Our new policy is very much like some of the school districts. The public cannot bring guns in. Some of the staff are armed, but no one knows who. Those who do carry cannot talk about it or they may lose the privilege. We have been living under that for a week now, and I haven't heard a single conversation about it.
