Re: The list of Shame (places where concealed carry is banne
I agree with LG about using the business cards to let the owners know how you feel about their policy. The pocketbook speaks louder than action. I haven't been to a walk-in movie in many years. I haven't found many commercial establishments that I can't do without. The internet is a wonderful thing.
I have spoken to managers about concealed carry policies and tried to always present a calm, rational & intelligent case for the positive aspects of having armed patrons who have had some training in firearm use and law to protect and maybe deter the bad guys. I have never been able to change anyone's mind with a negative argument. It usually just pisses them off and their mind shuts down. I feel they have a right to decide if they want to allow concealed carry on their property just as we have the right to carry concealed. We and they have to observe the line between the two rights. They can exercise their right to throw your butt out or have you arrested if you make a disturbance in their place of business. We can exercise our right to not spend our money there. I exercise that right a lot. I also respect their right and maybe they will see that the concealed carry holders are not the blood thirsty maniacs the anti-gun crowd paints us to be. I also remind them that the bad guys don't give a rat's ..... about their sign.
Just my opinion and nothing more.
