If you live in the Fort Myers area, I'm sure you have shopped at the Gulf Coast Town Center at least once. Now, I've never seen a sign that said "no weapons allowed", but I just happened to be browsing the Florida Carry website, and saw that they DO NOT allow weapons on their property. Now, personally, I will not spend another penny there until that policy is changed. It really sucks, because I did like to shop there, but that policy is a deal breaker.
I have sent an email to their corporate office regarding the issue, but all of you in the Fort Myers/SW FL area need to let them know that you will not be giving them any more of your hard-earned money until they stop supporting criminals. I encourage all of you to not go there until they change their policy.
Here is a copy of the email that I sent...
"Hello. I am contacting you about one of your property policies. I see that your business is listed here: http://floridacarry.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=19&Itemid=30 . I'm not sure why you insist on making your property a self-defense free zone, but I just wanted to let you know that I will not be giving another penny of money to any of the stores located on your property.
It's ridiculous that you disarm law-abiding citizens and make them easy targets for criminals. Now, you may think "Hey, no big deal. You're just one customer among thousands that we get daily." However, there are many more law-abiding citizens that do not like being made easy targets for criminals, and rest assured, this will be posted on as many firearm forums as possible, and until you change your asinine policies, you will lose quite a bit of business. Much more than you think...
It's a shame. I really did like going to the stores located on your property. You guys maintain the place very well, and the shopping experiences that I've had have been quite pleasant. But this policy is a deal breaker... I truly hope that you will consider not supporting criminals anymore, but until you do, you will be losing money daily."
