I think Corpus Christi would fall into "Coastal Bend", McAllen, Brownsville, etc. into "Rio Grande Valley", and we all know what constitutes "East Texas", "The Panhandle", "West Texas", etc.

That's why I posted it here, to get ideas and opinions. Thanks for your input.

I did consider the possibility that being hit with massive amounts of letters would be seen as harrassment. That's why I decided to post here, where there isn't a huge amount of traffic.

I believe that several letters will get the point across better than a single face to face encounter, or a single letter.

Again, this is why I posted it here. I want to know what others think about it.

I can understand your thinking it's a bad idea. But "one of the absolute worst ideas, ever"? Wow! I must be a real idiot to come up with something that historically significant!

I'm thinking that, even if you're from out of town, you could write a letter that says something like, "While I was vacationing in Corpus Christi, I stopped to buy something from your business and couldn't enter because of your 30.06 sign."

The Best Buy here doesn't have a sign. I've never been in a Costco.

Where can we start a listing of their names and contact info?

That's a very good point.

An angle that I hadn't considered.

I always carry a small notebook in my pocket, and I will start listing all the places I see with 30.06 signs. Should this list include hospitals? I've only spotted two of these signs in Corpus Christi so far. One on a hospital, another on a liquor store.

Yes, the liquor store had the proper sign, not the 51% sign.

Below their 30.06 sign, they even have a note with a phone number to call TABC if you want to complain about their sign.

I read another thread somewhere about people passing out the No Guns = No Money cards.

My idea is that we get a list of posted businesses, along with their addresses (and owners/managers names if possible), then everyone sends letters to them.

This way they're bombarded with a lot of letters, and this may give them the idea that they're losing a lot of money by turning lawfully armed citizens away.

The letters should be written in a professional manner, with no insulting remarks or stereotypical "gun nut" language.

If this has already been done, or if there's already such a list going, let me know. There are a lot of forums on this site, and I'm still not familiar with all of them.

Do any of you think this is a good idea?
