SAN DIEGO — Given the recent spate of people shot by gun owners who felt mortally threatened by them, new warning signs are on the market to avert further bloodshed. Here are some of them:
No Knocking on My Door If You Are Not White.
Beware of Trigger-Happy Owner!
My Car May Be Unlocked, But My Gun Isn’t.
My House Is More Than a Castle, It’s an Armed Fortress.
Forget About My Guard Dog; It’s Me Who’s Rabid.
When I Stand My Ground, You’ll Soon Be Underground.
How Do I Know the Ball That Rolls on My Property Isn’t a Bomb?
I Believe What I Hear about Rampant Crime on Fox News.
My Gun License Was Issued by Lauren Boebert.
Wrong Turn, You’ll End Up in an Urn.
On the other hand, alleged trespassers should wear dayglo tee-shirts with the slogan: The Second Amendment Isn’t a License to Kill.
