While I know we have had a letter supporting the right to carry in the stores. I just received a response to a letter I drafted back in November 2008. I had sent them a huge packet of other corporations that allow lawful carry. At the time I don't believe they had a policy. It looks like they do now...

Dear Mr. S***,
Our policy on guns in our stores is simply to comply with the law.
We recognize and respect the right to carry a weapon and we are aware that not everyone who has a weapon has a concealed weapon permit. However, we serve all varieties of Customers in our stores – we do not discriminate based on anything – not gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or opinion. So, as I’m sure you are aware, there may be times when an unconcealed weapon is upsetting, particularly to some mothers who are shopping with their children. If you have a concealed weapon permit, we would appreciate it if you would conceal your weapon, but we recognize that you do not have to by law.
Thanks,
Melinda Merrill
Director, Public Affairs
