I think we as gun owners would be supprised to find out how many anti gun business owners have never given any thought that someone might be carrying a gun in their store, and after getting a letter informing them that someone wants to, would post a sign, where there wasn't one before.  |
A valid concern, certainly, but I think not realistic. Most business owners (in IN, at least) have had to work hard to get what they have. They're likely conservative enough to recognize the facts, not the scare tactics.
Of course, there are the few idiots, but I think that the "no gun=no $" cards might drive that point home to them.
Keep in mind as well that "the first liar tells the truth", not to say that our side lies, of course we have no reason to do so, but the point I'm making is that if we get something like this out there FIRST, the antis have to play a defensive action. This is normally our forte', not theirs; they're used to being on the attack and making us defend our rights. I can see benefits to this-how beneficial they are is for others wiser than I to determine.
