I don't go to many of these stores because I never liked them anyway. Many are not in my area. I do use google.

I live in a resort village with about 400 year round residents. We don't have any of these stores and don"t want them. Election 2016 had 1 (count them 1) D on the ballot. And she lost.

Honestly, I don't really give a damn if some store doesn't want me to conceal carry in their store. I don't subscribe to the notion that I need a gun on me at all times or that the only way I can defend myself or others is with a gun. Sure, a gun is a useful tool, but it certainly shouldn't be the only tool in your kit. What happens if your weapon jams or otherwise wont fire, now you're fucked because you have leaned on a gun for so long you forgot how to fight with your fists.

Personally, I think that the pro-gun everywhere people are just as wacked as the anti-gun everywhere people. There are some places that a civilian with a gun shouldn't aloud. Hospitals, schools, courts, etc. Those are places where trained professionals with a gun should be aloud to be.

And I am certainly not going to whine like a little bitch because some random store doesn't want me to carry a gun. As far as I am concerned, the right is just as thin skinned as the left, crying about every little thing.

You know, this is one reason I get upset. 10 years ago I would take my fists and pound the daylights out of you. Now, I am very limited in my mobility. Punks think they can terrorize me, and do what they want. My firearm makes this encounter even. They have youth and speed, and I can make sure I don't get killed with my firearm. It is so simple for people that have all their faculties to condemn us, who cannot get around like we used to. I will stick with carrying my equalizer.

TSgt Larry Johnson - In a close combat situation, a martial artist with a knife can defeat an enemy with a gun. Pasting old YouTube clip below. Dan Inosanto, personal friend of Bruce lee and Filipino fighting expert, handily defeated sheriffs with guns during a training exercise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwCl9bfz-8Y

One, I am not going to stand still, you flinch one way or the other when he gets closer. Two, I am putting 2 rounds to the chest, and one to the head if he is still standing. I said I was old and limited mobility, but I am not dead yet.

Hmmm...

First of all, I don't begrudge private citizens and private organizations their decisions with respect to firearms on their property or in their businesses. This is because they're PRIVATE citizens and businesses, not GOVERNMENT.

It is, however, my choice whether or not I avail myself to any of their products or services. It is also my choice whether or not to go there while carrying, so long as I'm otherwise in accordance with the jurisdictional laws. (In some jurisdictions, for example, "No Weapons Allowed" signs do not carry the force of law.)

I do not, however, advocate entry while carrying where the laws do not allow it. Not because I agree with the laws, mind you, but because willfully advocating, or participating in, illegal acts is a recipe for legal trouble nobody needs.


Second, if we were to actually compile a list of ALL the businesses who advocated against the various things we all disagree with, we'd likely find that there are few, if any places we should patronize.

Yes, I agree with the principle of not giving these businesses my money. But the fact is that I often DO give them my money for any number of reasons. That doesn't mean that I'm not making my opinion on their stand known in other ways. And, so long as I'm not violating any laws, I'll carry in their businesses as I see fit, regardless of their postings.


In the end, we make our choices as we see fit, and I have no problem with those choices so long as people aren't doing illegal things that risk their own liberties and rights in the courts.
