And the MOA has no gun signs, the nerve of those people.
Andy – could you clarify your post. I have not been to MOA in quite some time so am not familiar with the signage you are referring to. Does MOA have “No Guns Allowed” signs that were ignored or do they not have any signs referencing guns on the premises.
