welcome sign
« on: March 22, 2013, 08:02:46 AM »
wisconsin a little over one year ago passed a conceal carry law and illinois just to the south of us has some of the toughest gun laws in the united states. wisconsin has a new welcome sign for visitors at the illinois/wisconsin state line.

Interesting.  Is that a picture you know to be real....one you took yourself or that someone you know took or is it from an unknown source?  Hard to believe any state would spend taxpayer money to put up such a sign.  If it is real then my compliments to Wisconsin.

It's fake. Look at the posts. There are several versions online.

ZSigns? We don't need no stinking ZSigns.  Everybody all ready knows!

Hope we still don't need them in the future !
