Guns not welcome at Levi's stores for safety reasons.

I understand taking a stand. Maybe I'm just too indifferent because I couldn't care less. I buy what works for me and my family and give little thought to corporate political leanings. I have enough worries in my daily life. Kudos to those who take the time to protest such things.

Meh, they're way overpriced. They don't fit that well, and they're pretty flimsy. So I can't really boycott them if I don't waste my money on them anyway. I get better use out of $10 wal-mart jeans, which is sad to say.

Right? It must be exhausting to keep a list to track such things.

I like Levi jeans and I will continue to wear them. I don't agree with the new store policy, but I don't buy my jeans from the Levi store anyway. I usually buy them at a Simon mall which is also a supposed gun free zone.

I think if I were to only to buy from gun friendly corporations it would be a pretty short list.

Could those company policies be just for insurance purposes?

If you accidently get shot by the guy in the next changing room, while trying a pair of jeans, they can say they didn't allow this guy to bring his gun to the store.

Yeah, I think that's probably true. Insurance companies come up with all kinds of crap. I once had an insurer drop me because I refused to put siding on my garage. It was a painted block building...


But Levi jeans still suck if you do anything other than go to dinner in them.

News report.
Many people committing crimes, have in fact, been caught wearing Levi's.
Let's ban Levi's.

And yet firearms parts are still sold on Amazon.


Thankfully Indiana law is very clear on businesses that doesn't like guns. If they ask you to leave, you leave regardless and if you don't, they call the cops. The thing is that if we all properly conceal our guns, there's no point. Does anyone here ever look at the no gun signs at AMC and say, they're never gonna watch a movie here? Or Chipotle or Panera?

CCW badge, around the neck, exempts you.

Works for me every time. Except for once, that is. But I gave them a hard look and they backed off.

Yes. I haven't been in any of those places for many years. Include BWW to that list as well, among others.


I've said this in similar threads in the past. The company doesn't have to be PRO gun like was mentioned by someone above. I have no problem with businesses that remain neutral, or just ask for patrons to not carry in their store. Kind of like when Starbucks said they would like people to stop open carrying in their stores. This was brought about by people that decided to open carry AR-15 rifles while they ordered their coffee. Starbucks simply said that they will follow the letter of the law and if someone is allowed to carry then they can carry in their business. They did not expect people make political statements by open carrying their rifles to make a point. IMO it's a reasonable request. If people had not done this then they most likely would not have changed their position to what it is now.


There is a gray area in this, it's not just black & white. A business that simply posts a sign for insurance reasons or personal beliefs is different than a business/CEO that ACTIVELY donates money, time & resources to anti-gun organizations. Neither place will probably get regular money from me, however I will go out of my way and find alternatives for those most despicable of companies that go the extra mile. I'll make sure I tell every friend & family member about those businesses as well.

I can state with confidence that I will never watch a movie at Chipotle or Panera.

Personally, I would prefer is a business concentrated on their products and services, and simply stayed silent on political and social issues. I baffles me that ANY business is doing SO well, that they can intentionally alienate a notable portion of potential customers, for any reason.

I suppose it is one thing when working with a small, sole-proprietorship, where you are talking directly to the owner. Just seems different when a huge corporation basically tells their stockholders "yeah, we all have enough money. We are going to cut back our potential audience by a few million people."

Especially since they're secretly classified as Pants.

There is an Amishman named Levi Hostetler down the road that seems like a nice feller, let's not over react.

Does he allow guns on his property though? He may be cahoots with that other Levi-guy we're talking about.

You and me both.

But, honestly, I haven't spent more than about $12.99 for a pair of jeans in years. I buy 'em from Big R and usually when they are on sale for $7.99 or $8.99...yes, I know I'm either supporting China or the petty dictator of some other Pacific rim nation.

 

[lovemachine]

Are there any jeans that are made in the USA now?

I have a few pairs of Levi's, but I buy all my jeans from Wal-mart. I'm no hipster, I don't wear skinny jeans.

I go to Target to buy my jeans. Never really cared for what brand name I am wearing as long as it fits

You realize Target has openly alienated gun owners and stated they're not welcome in their stores?

I get my jeans from Walmart, $10-$12 a pair. RK jeans are nice, but they don't wear very comfortable with my belt/carry piece.

That doesn't stop me. I have yet to see a no gun sign at a Target and I conceal my weapon good. If they don't see it, they don't **** their pants. Indiana law is pretty clear about how much ****s you should give about no gun signs on private businesses.
