Anti-gun Businesses
In Iowa, it is permissible for a business to post their location with a "No Firearms Allowed" sign. While the signs do not carry the force of law, anyone with a firearm in these locations can be asked to leave. If the person does not leave, the business owner can then call the police and ask that the person be charged with trespassing.
In essence, these business create a "Safety-Free Zone." Criminals do not pay attention to a No Guns Allowed! sign. Law abiding citizens do, though, and the inability to protect one's self in these locations creates a lack of safety.
