The Universal No in Arizona

Just back from our grand tour of Arizona, California, Washington, British Columbia and Alaska. While in Arizona, I began to notice all the "no gun signs." Most show a handgun crossed out.  Nice example of the "universal no" in action.

I began photographing them, but quickly learned that this was a sure fire way to strike up conversations with anyone nearby. I got tired of it and finally stopped after someone at a swimming pool pulled me aside.  Alas, the photo above isn't mine, but looks pretty typical.
