Harbor Freight Tools Respone

Believe me its hard to word these so they get the point across without sounding condescending. I still recommend sending something to them but try to make it somewhat diplomatic.

The original versions (there were several) had informed them that I added them to the friend or foe listing but decided that may sound a little threatening. I thought mentioning the 60k plus CCL holders should get the same effect. I did add them to the FoF list though :lol:[/QUOTE

I tryed the nice guy route, no such luck. So i go to the BBB, an I did get a respone, not the one I wanted, But a respone. It now tells me there is more here then meets the eye.
That is why I went this route.

Complaint Text

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 ?

Consumer's Rebuttal

.But then why does Harbor Freight Tools allows Concealed 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 Concealed 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?
