Overview

This vertical 18″ × 24″ sign leads with a universally recognized prohibition symbol — a bold red circle-and-slash overlaid on silhouetted icons of both a handgun and a tactical knife. The dual-weapon iconography immediately communicates a broader weapons restriction than firearm-only signs, while the clean white background and thick red border frame the message with high-contrast authority. The large-format black sans-serif text below reads clearly from a distance, making this sign readable at entry points, gates, and building facades without requiring close approach.

This sign is built for property managers, business owners, schools, religious institutions, and multi-tenant commercial buildings across Los Angeles that need to explicitly prohibit concealed carry under California Penal Code 12025 and local ordinances. In a city where CCW permit holders are rare but tensions around weapons policies are high, posting a clear, professionally printed sign at every entrance removes ambiguity and demonstrates a documented, good-faith policy to visitors, staff, and enforcement personnel alike.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Dual-weapon iconography sets this sign apart — the combined gun-and-knife prohibition symbol communicates a complete weapons ban, not just a no-firearms rule, which is critical for venues where bladed weapons are also a concern.
  • Vertical format maximizes text legibility at entry points — stacked headline text across four lines fills the 18″ × 24″ panel efficiently, making each word readable from 20–30 feet away on a standard door or gate post.
  • Thick red border with inner white margin creates visual hierarchy — the layered frame draws the eye inward and signals urgency without relying on color-coded backgrounds, keeping the sign readable in both bright sunlight and low-light conditions.
  • Supports California Penal Code 12025 compliance — explicitly posting a no-concealed-weapons policy strengthens a property owner’s legal standing when addressing unauthorized carry on premises.
  • Mounted at eye level, the prohibition icon is seen before the text — the icon-first layout ensures instant comprehension for multilingual visitors and those unfamiliar with English, a key advantage in Los Angeles’s diverse communities.
  • Maxmetal® construction resists warping, rust, and UV degradation — unlike paper, foam board, or standard aluminum signs, this panel holds its shape and color year-round in Southern California’s sun and marine-layer humidity.
  • Reflective option available for 24-hour visibility — ideal for parking structures, outdoor corridors, or entry gates where lighting is inconsistent after dark.
