4. Display visible signage indicating a strict no-firearms policy within the premises.
We are working diligently to address this issue, and we request the cooperation of both patrons and establishment owners in ensuring a secure and enjoyable environment for all. Those found in violation of firearm regulations will be subject to legal consequences.”
