So I get this...
Dear Valued Costco Member:
You may be asking why Costco is engaged in what appears to be a political issue for the first time in our 27 years doing business here. We view this as an issue that transcends politics. One of our guiding principles is to stand up for the rights of our members and consumers in general. We have been fighting for reform of our outmoded liquor laws for many years. Today you have the opportunity to rid the state of inefficiency and waste, and Costco can bring you the choice and value you deserve. Liquor privatization works in 32 other states. Why not here?
So I sent them an email back..

How about standing for our rights of the constitution? The 2nd amendment says that we have the right to bear arms. Why don't you support that? You say it's for the safety of the members. We as law abiding citizens use this right to protect ourselves and family. Obviously, Costco believes that this right should be taken away. Washington State Gun rights group thanks Costco for supporting them on not allowing law abiding citizens into Costco open carrying and conceal carrying. Do you think that a criminal with the intent to rob Costco is going to follow this rule? Absolutely not.
So sending me emails stating that Costco's guiding principle is to stand up for the rights of our members is crap. I am a member there who is standing up for my right? I will not shop there anymore nor will my family. I will pass this on to other forums that support the 2nd Amendment.
Well, this may not be to investor relations dept. but maybe getting more emails and calls from citizen from all angles help.
Please dont kill me...
