BigGuy, I personally can't fault you. Because you donate (and I am sure others do as well) there is no reason for the center to remove their 30.06. They use your compassion for humanity to promote their ill advised and ridiculous policy of posting 30.06. They also make money off of you (lots too) which is doubly insulting. I am willing to bet that they have no security to protect you in a "situation" while you have a needle in your arm. Seriously, do you believe you would be at fault if someone died because management posted a 30.06 and you failed to enter the business? Who would be at fault if you were shot while donating or if your firearm were stolen from your car?

Reality is that short of some legislative change we have only one method of deterring 30.06/30.07 posting and that is by hitting these stores in the wallet.

These companies are "non-profits" but they make a lot of money. They pay well, have good insurance plans for their employees as well as good retirement plans. Their people make a very good salary. Almost like working for the government. They exist on donations of blood and lab services which they sell off at a very expensive price. They are not charities working for the poor. Yes, their work does provide a life saving product but it is not free or charity, they sell what you give them (at a very high price). You might as well bring in a gold bar and give it to them except your body does not make little ingots. In the long run your blood products help individuals that need that blood but don't assume these companies are in it for humanity. They induce you to come in on the humanity issue but they make their money selling your blood. Those pay for donation centers that take your plasma and platelets are in it for the money too but at least they pay you and you know that it is after all, a business.
Now it again comes back to just like any retail business. Do they want your business or not? You decide. For me 30.06 means they don't want my business. Funeral homes are beneficial for society too but I plan on not providing any business for as long as possible and I won't use a company that forces friends and relatives to disarm.

Go elsewhere. These places tend not to be charities but money making businesses. They don't want your business.
