Greenleaf Idaho – Every Road into Town Has This Sign: “Not a Gun Free Zone”

Greenleaf Idaho Not a gun free zone sign

Do you wonder if there really is such a place as a ‘safe space?’ Greenleaf Idaho, a town of 800, not only promotes gun ownership and safe handling of firearms in the city code, they have sings on every road into town. “This is Not a Gun Free Zone.”

And it’s the law, cowboy.

Greenleaf is a city of just over 800 people that urges residents to own firearms and get weapons training in their city code. It has a very low crime rate, but some residents tell KBOI 2News that the signs are just an extra layer of protection.

While they report some small amount of resistance in the past one of the few complaints is that the sign’s message isn’t clear enough.

“When they first went up, I actually had to read them twice because of the ‘not a gun free zone,'” said Gordon Bates, a Greenleaf resident. “You kind of have to read that. I wish I was a little more clear.”

I’m curious what they believe would make it more obvious?

As for the impact, if I may call it that,

Locals say the town’s overall stance on gun rights has drawn more people to live in the town, rather than scaring people off.

I’d bet money that these signs are scaring people off. Liberal people. Which means that-much-more protection for their property from the other kind of thieves. Democrat politicians.

Which makes Greenleaf Idaho one of the safest spaces in America.
