Is a "we don't call 911" sign a real thing in America?
The signs exist, usually as militany bravado. I like this one because it pairs the dumb sign with America's debilitating healthcare costs.
So is it meant to be interpreted as a threat? As in if you break into my house I won't call the police I'll just shoot you.
Isn't that the same as a "trespasses will be shot" sign that's been around for decades.
I think it's more like "we don't need big gubment, we're self sufficient".
It's really a great sign because it sends multiple messages like: "I'm easily swayed by propaganda aimed at morons." And "I need you to know my personal feelings about this because I've made it part of my identity while I scream about identity politics."
Yes. It is a threat
It's basically advertising that there are guns to steal in the house.
It's a real thing in Europe cause we call 112 or 999 if you're in the UK.
Yes , and usually has a picture of a pistol pointing at the observer. Frequency of use varies from place to place.
My mom's neighbor has one. And by neighbor, I mean it's hanging on the door of a garage in the back of an alley, and his house is 10 minutes away. Not like he'd be there to call 911 most of the time anyway, I think I only saw him 3 times in 16 years of living there lol
