Complaint Description - Posted 1/23/2012 9:06:15 AM
Description of Complaint: I recently had of some troubling circumstances which occurred at a Harbor Freight Tools Store. As the issue is important to me, I am writing you to obtain independent verification, the issue at hand is the corporate policy of Harbor Freight Tools regarding customers who lawfully carry firearms in Harbor Freight Tools Stores. According to one of your Wisconsin store Managers, Harbor Freight Tools decided not to allow concealed weapons within your Wisconsin stores.Stating Harbor Freight values the safety of all of our patrons and employees.But then why does Harbor Freight Tools allows Conceal Carry as well as Open Carry in there Stores, as far away as Kalamazoo, MI. Battle Creek , Michigan an as well as your stores in Minnesota.These States are but a few that have Conceal Carry an/or Open Carry laws for Years,an are Allowed to carry in their Harbor Freight Stores.So my Question is, Why is Harbor Freight Tools Discriminating against law abiding citizens of Wisconsin who have gone through the proper channels of state/federal background checks too obtain a concealed carry license issued by the Wisconsin Department of Justice. As of to date there are over Forty Thousand men & women who now have there Wisconsin Conceal Carry Permit,an With 4.3 Million Men & Women over 21 years old in Wisconsin, an a projection of 1.3 Million to get their Conceal Carry Permits can you really afford to alienate even 10 percent of them ?

Company's Initial Response - Posted 02/09/2012
Harbor Freight Tools is a privately owned company and is an occupant on the premises located at: 4698 S. Whitnall Road, Suite 13, St. Francis, WI, 53235. The Wisconsin Concealed Carry law permits owners and occupants of property to prohibit persons from carrying a concealed weapon in or on the property. In fact, a person may be subject to Class B forfeiture if he or she carries a firearm on the property after being notified not to remain on the property or remain with a specific firearm. (Wis. Stat. § 943.13(1m) (b)) Harbor Freight Tools, like most employers with customers on their premises, including retailers and restaurants, also are advising customers not to bring weapons into its stores. Harbor Freight Tools will continue to promote a welcoming and safe environment for all of our guests. I apologize for the inconvenience this matter may have caused you or the complainant. Thank you, Theasha Gonzales

.But then why does Harbor Freight Tools allows Conceal Carry as well as Open Carry in there Stores, as far away as Kalamazoo, MI. Battle Creek , Michigan an as well as your stores in Minnesota.These States are but a few that have Conceal Carry an/or Open Carry laws for Years,an are Allowed to carry in their Harbor Freight Stores.So my Question is, Why is Harbor Freight Tools Discriminating against law abiding citizens of Wisconsin who have gone through the proper channels of state/federal background checks too obtain a concealed carry license issued by the Wisconsin Department of Justice.
By allowing the rest of the States to Conceal Carry & Open Carry in Harbor Freight Tools Stores amounts to nothing more then Selective Discrimination of our Second Amendment Rights. So why is this ? an why isn't Harbor Freight Tools doing this to all the States?
