Guys
Please bear with me. Mods, please forgive me if not the correct place!

Some years ago I was able to visit a US military establishment here in the UK. I was able to view the armoury through a grill upon which was a sign that read to the effect 'Use of deadly force authorised'.

I have just completed a 'man cave' project at my home and I couldn't think of a better sign for the door to my armoury / reloading area.

Please can any of you remember / know the exact wording or better still advise me where I could get hold of an original sign?

I appreciate any help you can give me please.

Thank you for reading

Re: Armoury sign!

I had to paint a bunch of those onto the Tarmac at the Air Force Airwing up in Minneapolis... It was a bitch, even with sticker stencils, having to remove all the lil dots from the "e's,o's,p's, and a's"
 
Re: Armoury sign!

I believe the exact text you are looking for if you can't read it on that picture is:
WARNING
RESTRICTED AREA
IT IS UNLAWFUL TO ENTER THIS AREA
WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF THE
INSTALLATION COMMANDER
(SEC. 21, INTERNAL SECURITY ACT
OF 1950; U.S.C. 797)
WHILE ON THIS INSTALLATION,

"USE OF DEADLY FORCE AUTHORIZED"

It should appear on a 30" by 30" sign as ordered on the solicitation number F1H3AF8297A001.
I'm not sure you can buy these signs outright...but you might snag one.
