Have You Seen the ‘Guns Are Welcome’ Sign That’s Burning up the Internet?
Update: Read TheBlaze’s interview with the maker of these signs here.
You might have seen signs at certain establishments letting customers know they welcome things like pets or strollers. But there’s a new sort of welcome sign that has begun to go viral on the Internet recently: a welcome sign for guns.
Guns welcome sign. (Image: TwitPic/@tinastullracing)
The sign says “Guns Are Welcome.” But there are stipulations to that statement. Although allowed on the premise of whatever establishment this sign precedes, it goes on to ask that the weapons remain holstered “unless the need arises.”
Even in the case of a need, the sign reads “judicious marksmanship appreciated.”
This is a video showing the sign and even has the maker giving more information about it:
So far, the picture of the sign posted by Tina Stull (@tinastullracing) 29 days ago on TwitPic and picked up by Twitchy Thursday has been viewed more than 6,000 times.
This is Tina Stull’s original tweet with the picture, which she issued Jan. 2. (Image: Twitter)
At the time of this posting, it as been retweeted more than 570 times. Here’s a glimpse at a few of those supportive tweets:
Stull, who has posted other pro-gun ownership phrases and pictures, is professionally a National Hot Rod Association Super Comp Dragster driver. According to her website, this is something she took up after being diagnosed with terminal cancer and given only three years to live. This was in 2002 and clearly she has beaten the odds. Stull is also active on Twitter posting her support for the military and their families, as she is involved in military-focused ministries.
“I really appreciate the Soldiers who serve, because the job they do allows me to do what I do,” she said on her website. “My getting to drive race cars is entertainment. People in the military are changing history. It’s important that when they go out to do their job, they know they are fully supported here at home.“
As for the signs, they are actually available for purchase (as noted by the maker in the video above) at Northeastern Safety Supply. Check them out here.
This story has also been updated to reflect that although the Twitter picture references Texas, the maker of the sign is based in Roanoke Rapids, N.C.

Posted on January 3, 2013 at 10:51amHas a land-use study ever been done in Texas to see how many people it could comfortably hold? Imagine all the working Americans living in Texas. They get less attention, but I have to believe the great people of Alaska have a similar ethos.

Posted on January 3, 2013 at 10:38amGun Control – It isn’t about guns – it’s all about control.
And I for one am sick and tired of all the governmental “control” – that works SO well.
SO well in fact that we are eating ourselves from within.
I wonder —– when will enough be enough?

I just give my money to the competors or if I just have to go in I ignore the sign. None have metal detectors or pat you down so thye are just wasting a sign.

Posted on January 3, 2013 at 1:44pmLet the states that are mostly conservative band together and become a unit…and ALL the conservatives are welcome. The greater the percentage of conservatives, the more that we control the government of those states. So the best thing is for all states to come together and unite – including Texas and North Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and every other state that wants to stand up for We The People’s rights. We are inundated from the south (Mexico) by those who want to live off the system or bring in guns and drugs. We have way too many liberals joining forces here in the south who are trying to take it over. Yes, PLEASE come and bring your guns and your constitution. We need you…we want you. I am proud to say that I am a Texan by choice even if I couldn’t be a Texan by birth. I am a Texan at heart – that is all that matters. Come and come now, before it is too late.
