A photo purportedly displaying a gun warning below a Welcome to Idaho sign has been circulating on the Internet on blogs, message boards, and via email since at least 2013. While the Welcome to Idaho sign is real, the gun warning included with it is not. There at least two photoshopped versions of the Idaho sign currently on the Internet. The first warns potential criminals that the majority of Idaho residents carry guns: The second photo simply provides a quote from fictitious Governor Nick Waite: Both of the photos are fake. The original photo was posted to Flickr by Francesco Dazzi on 11 August 2008. According to Dazzi, this Welcome to Idaho sign can be seen on the border between Wyoming and Idaho on WY Highway 22/ Idaho State Highway 33: Idaho isn't the only state to see these fake gun warning signs. Utah, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Texas have all been virtually vandalized over the years.
