This video from Geauga Firearms Academy argues that 'no carry' signs are ineffective at deterring crime and instead disarm law-abiding citizens. The presenter, with extensive experience in firearms and security, uses a satirical 'No Crime' sign to illustrate the point. The core argument is that restricting legal gun owners empowers criminals, and that education and responsible gun ownership are more effective than restrictive signage.

This creates a vulnerability where only those with malicious intent are armed.
