BELLINGHAM, Wash. -- A no-trespassing sign posted across the street from a local middle school is raising eyebrows in Bellingham, but police say it is completely legal.
The sign, which was posted on private property across from Fairhaven Middle School, warns "semi-literate thieves" that four different types of guns are on site four days a week.
Some parents and residents in the area say having a sign that hints at gun violence so close to young children sends the wrong message.
"It just seems angry," said Eric Worden, who lives nearby.
Despite those complaints, police say the sign is completely legal. Officers also say they were called the the property back in December after $400 worth of scrap metal and materials was stolen from the site.
"It's a no trespassing sign. It's posted on private property. There are no threats being made on the sign," said Mark Young of the Bellingham Police Department.
