I assumed it was a joke. He doesn't live in Iraq.

If I was ever forced into this situation, it would not be all that unreasonable for me to wait in the car, and it would be relatively easy to have an AR ready to go in said car.

It looks like you and she have worked it all out. Being prepared for any situation is always important. You could both wear headsets so she can keep you updated on which isle she is on. Even better, maybe get one of those satellite trackers and you could sit in the car and watch her exact co-ordinates on a map. I would recommend you wear a CHL sash so the cops know your a good guy when they see you rushing the store with a loaded AR15.

As I said, its completely hypothetical at this point. However, if the only source of food, water or another basic necessity in Houston ever becomes limited to one location that is posted 30.06, then I will work out a plan along the above lines. At present, I have the option to simply spend my $$ somewhere else, so that's what I do.

BTW, any plan for this scenario would probably not involve a headset - a cell phone would need to suffice. Personally, I think a CHL sash is a really bad idea, but I will consider your recommendation on that front

More like being extreme to prove a point. Namely, that if absolutely necessary, I can acquire goods / services from a free fire zone more safely than I can work in the same environment. If I was ever forced into this situation, it would not be all that unreasonable for me to wait in the car, and it would be relatively easy to have an AR ready to go in said car.

Fortunately, I live in the Houston suburbs, and there are no essentials that are only sold by a business that has chosen to unduly imperil the safety of their customers. Therefore, I have never been forced into this situation.

Personally, my answer is no. I will not boycott an employer based on their corporate beliefs (in the area of the RKBA). However, I will boycott businesses on this basis when I am a customer.

My first duty is to my family and their well being. There are not enough 2A friendly potential employers for me to secure a decent income if I restrict my potential employer pool to only those that are openly friendly to allowing employees the RKBA at work.

As a customer, the situation is different since there are a sufficient number of businesses that do not infringe on their customer's RKBA to supply my family with the basic necessities. However, if I was ever put in a situation where the ONLY source of food for my family was a place the restricted my RKBA, I would reluctantly do business with them rather than see my family go hungry.
