Help pressure Costco into allowing firearms in their stores

Lately i have noticed that a lot of comments left on corporate facebook pages are going viral, whether positive or negative. I am trying to bring attention to the large number of people who do not shop at Costco because of their firearms policy. OK, actually I'm just trying to get them to drop the policy because my wife tried some of their jalapeno yogurt dip at work and I won't get a membership there. So if you have a facebook account, please help me [my wife] out and "like" my comment.

If you are OC'ing at a Costco, it is because the management of your local store is choosing not to enforce the corporate policy that specifically prohibits it.

Also, if you are a member, and you complain about this policy at any time during your membership, in the past they have refunded your membership fee in full.

I have an easy choice here. I shop at Sam's Club, which specifically allows OC by corporate policy.

They haven't changed the policy.

Shop at Sam's. They do not prohibit the exercise of your 2A rights.

We are all individuals and get to make our own choices, but I won't shop at a chain that has a no firearm policy enforced anywhere[\b]! Even if I am allowed to carry in my own local store, IMO, it is a disservice to my fellow carriers who cannot carry in their local stores to patronize the chain.

Franchises are different. They each may have local polices that have nothing to do with their sister stores. But any corporate store belonging to a chain that has a no firearms policy--even if some branches don't enforce the policy--are IMO off limits[\b].

Again, we all get to make our own decisions, but I implore my fellow carriers to pressure all corporations with no firearm policies by not shopping in any of their stores.

I have shopped at Costco. I won't shop at any Costco, even if I can carry in it, until the corporation changes its illogical policy.

FWIW I liked your comment and posted a supporting one. I also would like to see every OCer on this site support you in the same way.

most companies that have this sort of policy don't put it in writing on the internet
