Anyone gone to Bass Pro Shops lately to look for an AR style rifle? Last time I went was a couple years ago and I was told that they would not stock that style of rifle. I see this as their right.

I disagree with Mr. Carter's decision, but I don't see it as any different from Bass Pro's. He is carrying them for sale to some people but doesn't feel comfortable selling to some. Bass Pro doesn't feel comfortable selling them at all. Each gets to make their decision and if enough customers are upset about it, they lose sales. That is how our country and a free market are supposed to work.

I will point out that at least one state agency has this exact attitude. TABC was very quick to tell stores that just because the person has an ID does not mean that they have to sell to them. They have the right to refuse to sell to anyone for any non-illegal reason (illegal reasons being membership in one of the protected classes).
