And the thought occurred to me, while it is both a welcoming beacon to fellow gun owners and a warning to would-be home invaders it may yet signal another message, one to a very nefarious subculture of the criminal element: gun thieves.<\/p>\n<p>That is to say, is the pro-2A sign on the door not also saying to potential gun thieves, \u201cThere are guns inside this apartment\u201d? It most certainly is. Does that make this apartment a target for gun thieves? I\u2019d argue it does.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the impetuous robber \u2014 the guy hopped up on meth or heroine, looking for a quick score \u2014 is probably going to walk away and go to another apartment unit. But the gun thief is different. After identifying a potential source for firearms, he has to be more discerning, more patient, more conniving than the drug-addled robber. Why? Because the very thing he seeks to steal is the very thing that could be his undoing. He has to take his time with the break-in, he has to carefully case the apartment (house or automobile), he has to plan everything to ensure the occupant is out of the apartment before he can strike.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s face it, everyone leaves their home. Even me. Now, I work from home. And I\u2019m here an awful lot. But I also go to the gym, run to the grocery store, the bank, the post office, the range, you know, I leave my apartment every now and then. So too, does the individual living in the apartment with the Castle Doctrine sign on his door. Probably for work during the day. A vigilant gun thief would have no problem figuring out the occupant\u2019s schedule or at least a rough estimate, making the occupant\u2019s apartment an easy mark.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, maybe I\u2019m thinking about this the wrong way. Maybe the gun sign is also a deterrent to gun thieves. Maybe the gun thief thinks to himself that if the apartment dweller is fastidious enough to put a sign on the door he (or she) is also fastidious enough to buy a large gun safe and keep his firearms secured. Or, maybe he thinks that this is an occupant who seriously considers his or her self-defense posture and in addition to owning firearms he or she might also have a dog or an alarm system or a network of friends who help monitor each other\u2019s apartments.<\/p>\n<p>I guess one can drive themselves crazy trying to anticipate how a criminal will behave given certain signs and symbols. I know I certainly don\u2019t have the answers. As with the rest of life, it\u2019s probably a gamble one way or the other or, depending on your personal luck, a case of damned if you do, damned if you don&#8217;t. \u00a0As of right now I don&#8217;t have any 2A signs on my apartment door nor do I have any plans on putting one up. \u00a0Though, that may change as I&#8217;m interested in hearing your thoughts on this issue. \u00a0What do you think? \u00a0Do you hang pro-2A signs? Do you pronounce yourself as a gun owner to the world? Do you believe pro-2A signs deter criminals?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you hang pro-2A signs?
