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.

Dear X:
As to your concerns about Wisconsin's Concealed Carry Law, please be advised that we have reviewed that law very carefully and after consideration of all of the issues, including those with respect to employees, customers, vendors. and other invitees, the Boucher dealerships have decided to ban firearms on their premises.
We are not turning away any customers. We are simply saying, leave your firearms at home or in your vehicle prior to entering our premises. We do not think our dealerships are dangerous places. Therefore, guns are unnecessary. You also represent the only complaint we have received at any of our 16 dealerships.
We are sorry that you disagree with our stance, but our considerations and concerns are much broader than that of some customers who feel compelled to carry guns on our premises.

The Boucher Group, Inc.

MKEgal,
I got the same email, to which I replied about the liability issue. I then received this:
Oh well. Looks like they will remain in the, "We don't like people exercising their rights." Glad I didn't buy my vehicle from them, but rather from Griffon Ford.

Denn'ys at Gammon Rd. in Madison has posted. Their comment card/contact is posted here:http://dennys.com/#/about just click "email" I have sent them an email already but the more the merrier.
I thought Denny's respected our rights. Perhaps it is a rogue employee?
Regardless, email sent (at least I think it sent).

The list shows Ace Hardware as not allowing - corporate policy. Ace stores are franchises. The Sauk City Ace, which also owns the DeForest one sells firearms and is carry friendly in both locations. For hardware stores the store location should be given. Good job on maintaining the list.

I did not know they were franchises. I've seen a number of them posted here and the WCI Facebook page, so I "assumed" it was corporate. I'll have to go through the list here (fb page is going to be impossible) to find out the locations.

Rosebowl Lanes in Marshfield. Skign is printed o. 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper. Also, apparantly a Tavern League member. Guess I'll have to find another place to go bowling.
Golden Living Center Three Oaks at Marshfield (retirement. Home / recuperative therapy center )
DaVita ( formerly Northridge ) Dialysis.
Will add as I spot them, actively searching now.

Yeah I've been conversing with the Tavern League executive director. He's of the opinion it's their duty to provide this signage to those who wish to use it.

I thought this was the case as well. I just had dinner there with my son a couple days ago at the Denny's on Greenway Blvd. in Middleton and they weren't posted.

You would think that they would be very concerned for their customers safety.

I got out of work early so I took a drive and checked some of the businesses in Sussex. Aurora Pharmacy and North Shore Bank are now posted. Aurora has a slashed handgun sign and North Shore has a "no weapons beyond this point" sign. I drove by George Webb's and didn't see any sign; did they take it down, or is it on the inner door?

No sir -- that's the posted location.
God forbid anything like this happens, but if it does, this IS what is going to happen to a company.
Last I remember seeing was a small sign next to the register. I was at Kohl's last night, drove by Shopko and Walgreens, none of those are posted. Looks like I'll just have to go to Walgreens to get my drugs instead of the Pharmacy. Heck, I can drive down the rode to Walmart and do the same thing.

Trip, for what it's worth, the owners of the Rosebowl were the organizers of the Smoke Nazis. T hat got the smoking ban instituted in Marshfield a full YEAR before the statewide ban went into effect. So, they were already on my list of persons wzith dubious intentions. Back on topic now, sorry for the brief hijack. I just thought it was worth mentioning. . . .
