Signs of the times
GREENLEAF, Idaho (KBOI) —
"Welcome to Greenleaf, Idaho. This is Not a Gun Free Zone."
The signs have been up for a few months, and residents say they reflect the attitude in the town.
"We are a big family out here in Greenleaf," said Kelly McBride, who has lived in the city for over 10 years. "It's a small town. I think all of us having a gun shows that we are a respectable society."
This is simply a way of saying that the citizens of this town are secure in the fact that they are American citizens who enjoy, amongst other things, the civil rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution, and that they will not hesitate to use those rights to protect their town, their lives, and their property — a town that will not tolerate outlaws.
That sort of thing used to go without (needing) saying.
