Worse, they're posted against guns. As I asked in that thread, "why?" such an unlikely store to be posted?

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

I've open carried in Toys R Us many times with no issues, and never saw a sign.

Tri City National Bank
Signs posted. I'll try to attach a picture I took of the sign.
I asked the branch manager about it and explained that it only hurts the law abiding. She stated that it's a company policy and she understood that if I were OC'ing in her branch it wouldn't be a big deal because she knows who I am.
That's too bad......maybe the sign on the door should read:
No shirts, No shoes, No strangers
P.S. Note the no sunglasses, no hoods and no hats. Does that mean my 12yo daughter can't wear her stylish sunglasses in the bank? I wasn't aware kids in sunglasses were a security threat.
Hmmm...anti-gun and anti-fashion.

I was asked to leave the BWW in Apple Valley MN on cedar ave. They are VERY anti 2nd and I got no response to a letter I sent to management and corporate.
:[
they were pretty decent wings ... and I did get them for free considering they asked me to leave with one wing left on the plate.

Look very closely. The one I was asked to leave in MN has the sign in vinyl letters on the window in RED with window tint over it.
I let them have it about the sign and explained to them that it is not compliant with MN law with regards to the signs size, posting, and location.
You should look for a different bank/credit union. Landmark has always treated me well.

So, they have a no weapon policy. Is it in the emplyee manual, so it only pertians to employees(employment)? Or does thier liability insurance require it and as long as its on paper so they choose not to enforce it? Dozens of Open Carriers have carried dozens of times in Farm&Fleets across the state without any issue. How do you esplain that?

Probably a silly question..... is Farm and Fleet connected with or a part of Fleet Farm?. If I recall Fleet Farm is OK with OC....

No, they're two different companies and competitors. One is Mills' FF and the Blaine's FF.

Is Mills FF OC friendly?
Sorry for being lazy. (In advance...) But, if you were in MN, I would guess you were not oc'ing... So... How did they know?

I carry in Farm & Fleet at Watertown all the time and it always goes well.

Until you run into the store manager, who following the company manual, calls the cops. They are trying to have it both ways. They don't want to po a large segement of their customer base and at the same time claim mea innocentia when the "person with a gun" call is made.
F&F has never answered my inquiry about their firearm policy. If it pertains to only employees, let them say publicly say so.
For now I'm going to leave Farm and Fleet off the list.

I actually already have an account at Landmark...will be moving my Tri-City accounts there very soon. Just have to make some changes for my business account to get moved over there.

Just for the record, stores who do not allow guns are not "infringing on your rights". If anything you infringe on theirs if you try to carry into a store or residence where you are not welcome.
"Infringement" as mentioned in the second amendment has nothing to do with you carrying anywhere at any time.

agreed for the most part, maybe the thread should read, "Stores that don't want our business". I can't speak for anyone else, but I personally do respect private property rights - I just think that goes hand-in-hand with exercising our rights responsibly.
However, I am curious how the courts have looked at businesses denying other constitutional rights to individuals, and more specifically why is 2A seen differently by some?
If you walked into a Culver's with an "Ron Paul 2012" T-Shirt on, and the manager asked you to leave because it was "disturbing" others or because it was against corporate policy, would that be a violation of an individual right protected under the bill of rights? What is the proper response to that request?
