That is that right, but it seems to prove to me just how strongly they believe in disarming good folks. ........Signs are a public statement that they do not want people carrying guns in their stores. If they were really progun folks, they would not be asking good people to disarm themselves to enter their store.
Hey Liberty,
you have the right to your personal opinions, but I just have one question about your statements pertaining to what I have highlighted. You are concerned about THIS particular business having a 30.05 sign posted, as trying to disarm good folks. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the sign is not valid to CHL holders and you are NOT REQUIRED to disarm, according to the law. Then you have some people that say , well that is there intent so I will just disarm to be safe. If that is the case, then why don't we all just build a tall fence around your house and not leave, because you can say that for thousands of business that post "NO GUNS" signs. What is the PURPOSE of PC30.06, then? Are we suppose to stop entering these places now? I have NO arguements with anyone that does not want a gun on their premises. But if they want to exclude CHL holders from they property, then they SHOULD know that the only sign that can do that LEGALLY, is the 30.06.
Also, the only GOOD FOLKS that would be walking up to a business with a gun would be a CHL holder. Any else carrying a gun would be doing so ILLEGALLY. I would hope that the business has a sign to REMIND THEM of that. And I think that is what this and other businesses are attempting to do. Therefore, I think you are taking instances like this one too personal as far as the RKBA, since you cannot bear arms(not long gun) in public without a license.

My stance is the businesses that post or attempt to post a VALID 30.06 sign, will not be getting my business unless the sign is changed. All other signs are totally ignored. I go the gas stations all the time with the TABC signs and have no problems with their business. I go to several stores with ghost buster signs and ignore them. But those establishments that some can't resist their food and others like them , will not be getting my dollars. I'm not Nazist with the any sign deal or 2A rheotoric. If they are not SPECIFICALLY spelled out in the TX CHL Laws as off limits, then i'm carrying. If a 30.06 sign stops me then I'm not spending. That's my official stance until further amendments.

Re: Covert Dealership

Then, call them, ask for the store manager and even the district manager if it is a chain, and advise why you will not be patronizing their business. If enough people boycott the store/chain, they may change their policy. If not, then they lose customers.

The choice is yours.
This sounds familiar. Kinda like what I was chastized for saying about a certain spicy food establishment that I will not name anymore. And a car is a purchase you don't make as often as food. Some people want to boycott a car dealership but they don't want to boycott a restaurant. Go figure.
