</div>
<div>I am considering submitting a proposal for
restrictions or allowances on carrying firearms in a
particular location. I checked through the proposal
pages and the active features pages and did not see
anything related to this. The Proposal Process page
suggested emailing this list to ensure nothing similar
is already in use.</div>

<div>That's an interesting one!</div>

<div>As far as I was aware, there's no mention of firearms
in OSM, but when I've just looked, I've found about 20
listings (all in the US - I'm guessing that's where you
are?) for firearms=yes/no, so there's obviously at least
some interest in the idea!. This will hopefully show the

<div>Examples of these restrictions in my area would be
signs on buildings prohibiting carrying firearms
concealed and/or openly. The signs themselves would be
nodes, but the allowance or restriction would apply to
ways.<br>

<div>Because of the mass of conflicting firearm laws in the
US between States, Counties, cities & building owners,
I think that you'd have to tie this to individual
buildings, or even shop by shop?<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Could possibly be done as a node on the building
itself, but also as an extra tag against the business eg </div>

It should not be a 'stand alone tag', but a tag that is applied to
another physical feature, like a building, a shop, a stadium. <br>
The sign is simply an indicator. E.G. OSM does not tag signs that
state opening hours - the opening hours go on the feature. <br>
