No Trespassing Signs

[DaveInTexas]

I did a search for signs, saw nothing.
I realize a sign is not going to slow down any BGs but I thought you might know the answer anyway.
I am looking for some strongly worded signs to keep out the casual property line violators. I have a short dirt road that tourists and kids seem to find appealing and think that a sign with clout would trim back the transgressions.
The usual No Trespassing signs don't carry the force I want. I was hoping for something like "If You Proceed Beyond This Sign, Expect to be ______". I haven't decided upon the verb...maybe 'arrested', or 'threatened with bodily harm' if that is deemed free of liability.
I am trying to get the attention of religious groups, peddlers, the above mentioned curious people, census takers! and I think with the right verbage I will.
Where to buy? What else should they say? I like that one with a picture of a gun! Also the guard dog pic.

No Trespassing
Trespassers will be shot
Survivors will be shot again

How about this?
The store lets you design and view before you buy!
The threat of shooting....I think most see through that.

I have a short dirt road that tourists and kids...

If You Proceed Beyond This Sign, Expect to be ______...

or 'threatened with bodily harm...

You have to be kidding me!

And you have a permit to carry a handgun... (dear lord)

Wordy - not too good if your visitors are illiterate - but, it IS comprehensive:

Put up a gate with a lock...Then a POSTED KEEP OUT sign will do the trick.....

[mr.stuart]

The town I live in,people build fences with these signs.It is not rare to see several on one little house, and these people are serious about their signs. I remember something in Texas about purple paint on trees designates keep out. I am not sure about that,just an old rumor maybe?

Yes, purple paint on trees or fence posts is notice for "No Trespassing".

Welcome, Mastiff attack training area, visitors welcome!!!

It is criminal trespass to enter the property with purple paint marks on trees or posts on the property. marks are virtical lines not less than eight inches in length and one inch in width. bottom of the mark not less than three feet from the ground or more than five feet and are readily visible to any person approaching the property...etc etc ... Now that is TEXAS

The attached seems to work well when backed up by armed MPs.



But seriously, I know around here (several states north) as long as the "No Trespassing" is on the sign you're good for the warning so the Police can respond, and you're liability is covered.
