Inland Stores in the southeast have added "No Guns" signs to the entrances to all of their stores. I called corporate, and this is a corporate-wide policy. The lady I spoke with said it is because guns make their customers and employees "uncomfortable."
I tried to make the distinction between lawfully armed citizens and bad guys with guns. Using the story of Dr. Gratia-Hupp at Luby's Cafeteria, I tried to point out that no-gun situations don't stop violence; they just prevent the innocent from defending themselves.
Her response was to ask why I carry and if anyone was "after me." :banghead:
I cited a long list of retailers who have a neutral policy of following State law to no avail.
Oh, well. She was civil, but ignorant. Anyway, I won't be buying anything from them in the future, whether I am armed or not. I hope others simply choose to shop elsewhere, where we are not unwelcome.
