That's fine with me. I respect your right not to own a firearm if you

Great. Thanks. But wouldn't it just be fair of you as a bearer of a weapon
to inform me? Just so that I can make a decision staying or leaving?



Then in that case I might like you to inform me of the sorts of
possesions or pastimes you might have... after all, I might be
afraid or offended by one or more of them.


That's fine. But if you truly believe that having NO firearms makes
you and everyone eklse safer, how about posting a sign in front of your
home that states clearly: "This Home Contains NO Firearms."



That would just be the opposite of my example. Besides, here it is expected
to have no weapons around and it would be very unlikely to find weapons. So
to answer your question about the sign: I'd have no problem with such a
sign, but it would make no point because it is the norm to have no weapons
at all.


It is expected because your country does not have a constituion whish
affirms individual rights and restricting the rights of government.
A criminal, or someone intent upon fould play will be well aware of the
fact that most people are unarmed and thus be more confident of success.
Your country has, in effect, put out the sign for you.
