I'm Shocked That a Criminal Would Ignore a Sign!

Shocked I tell you! In Midtown shooting's wake: What can companies do to protect workers, customers?

Okay, so NO ONE is shocked, with the possible exception of some Leftist who actually thought a "no guns allowed" sign would keep criminals for carrying guns into an establishment.

The man accused of shooting up a Midtown doctor’s office on Wednesday, killing a 38-year-old public health official and mother of two, and wounding four other women, strode past a sign on the building’s front door stating that weapons and drugs were prohibited on site.

But how can that be? How can criminals ignore signs that have the backing of law? It is almost like criminals are determined to ignore the law. Or something. </sarcasm>

The 12-story Northside Hospital office building has security personnel. But, like shopping centers, restaurants and most other buildings Americans enter every day, it is not a high-security zone, such as an airport or courthouse. And experts say it’s unlikely Americans would put up with the hindrance or cost of implementing tight security screening every place they go.

So what is to be done? The reporter seems to shudder at the very idea of eliminating gun-free zones defenseless-victim zones.
