Do you support stores that ask for CC only?

rambone · 09-28-2009

A lot of people talk about removing their business from stores that are anti-gun. If a store asks for Concealed Carry only would you continue to shop there?

Trampling on any gun right is "anti" gun. Besides, I OC 99% of the time so if I can't OC in that store I won't be in that store.

infidel · 09-28-2009

I have not had this problem with any place I have been yet, but NO, I would not shop there. Would you shop some place that only allowed Christians? Or told you what words you couldn't say in their store? Or that reserved the right to search you anytime/reason? Some doctor or something put it well when he said "When I leave my house in the morning, I take all my rights with me".

To the OP: sorry if my response seems a little heated but these things get me a little fired up. These were rhetorical questions and in no way aimed at you.

I didn't vote . I would continue to shop because I cc anyway .

Militarypol21 · 09-28-2009

Its the store's discretion whether or not they allow OC... Depending on if I was going there for 1 thing or going there for a lot of things that I could just get someplace else would be the decision maker.

I voted no, but the 1500 and gunshops are exceptions for me and the other yes options didn't really apply.
Are the other No voters in line with me, or do they not go to the 1500 and avoid gunshops that say "NO LOADED WEAPONS"?

Being a store owner, I voted that I have no problem with CC only policies despite the fact that my stores don't have that policy.

Honestly the retail community has to deal with every sort of person and make all of them happy. . . or at least as many as is possible. I bite my tongue every time someone with a Pro-Obama shirt walks in the door. I'd love to kick them out just because of their attire but that would kill my business and, after all, the store exists to make money. So I take their Pro-Obma $$$ and use it to support Anti-Obama groups like the GOP, the NRA, the Libertarian party, etc. Now when it comes to OC, I choose to do it from time to time but respect those stores that wish I would conceal. I know they are servicing customers who are bedwetters, pantywaists and Democratic libtards. They need to make a living and they do not offend me if they ask me to cover my weapon.

Yes I would still go to the merchant. If it is private owned they have just as much right to tell me no open carry as I do to open carry. And it is their property and when you are in someone else's kindom....you have to follow their rules.

Yes, I also believe that they have the right to make their own rules. However, it is my right to shop somewhere that does not have a policy that violates my rights.

I just like to choose who I give my money to.
