How would you react to a new gun shop in BA that has a "NO GUNS" sign on the door?

It is NOT Broken Arrow Gun Shop, they are at about 65th and Elm.
The gun shop I am talking about is at about 82nd and Elm, West side of the road, next door to Grüber and Higher Ground tattoo.

You previously said it was north of 81st? Now it's south?

If a gun shop has a no loaded firearm sign that prohibits people from carrying a loaded firearm, is an issue, don't go in, or ask about his intentions. However, I can understand an owner of gun shop not wanting a loaded gun being handed in his store. A proper sign may read all personal firearms must be holstered or in a case at all times. Mistakes happen and you are in an environment that allows you to "play" with a firearm. Mistakes happen to the most trained and careful people. Like the LEO the recently shot himself in the leg when reholstering his pistol in a gun shop.
Remember, you are in his place of business and he doesn't know you from Adam, if he doesn't want someone he doesn't know fumbling around with a loaded weapon, that's his right as a shop owner. It's your right as a consumer to do business where you like. No need to be offended.

We have a gun/pawn shop with a sign like that but what he means by the sign is that when you bring a gun in to pawn/sale or trade make sure it is unloaded, you would be surprise at the number of people that says their gun is unloaded but isnt.

Might be a good idea to clarify that on his sign,
It goes both ways, I've had several gun shops rack a slide then drop the mag and hand me the gun, with a mag in it, ....its unloaded?
A very clear sign would be " all loaded guns should be holstered AT ALL TIMES: Pretty clear"
So boycotting someone because they're covering their axxes....is kinda asinine......your prerogative....;/

Let's see here, playing the guessing game from "I've got a secret." If I drive 30 miles into Broken Arrow for a firearms related item, I need to be sure to take my reading glasses to look on the door or the window (guess which) and try to notice a document that says they would rather I not shop there. We need to guess who it is Sounds a little like a scavenger hunt. So what kind of prize can I can win if I become the first to post who it is. Do I need to post a picture of their name blanked out on the sign to win the prize? We don't want them to get a bad reputation of being gun unfriendly do we.

I guess I am not understanding the secret here.

Was it Pawn Sharks? I know they are posted no weapons. When I lived in OKC I refused to go there. Sooner State Pawn is better .
No, actually it was Extra Cash Pawn on Western south of 240. And you are right, even though I got a decent deal on the gun I bought, I went to Sooner State Pawn a couple weeks later and found the sand gun for about $30 cheaper. For done reason I didn't even think of them when I was looking. I will from now on.
