They searched the cars. Their arguement is that the car is on their property, so they can do whatever they want. If you don't like it, take a hike. The truth is that the car is not their property. They are simply extending their property line into your vehicle. There's no justificaiton for the extension. If they don't like what someone might have in the car, they must close the lot. they can't extend their property line into yours.
I believe I read that they launched a contraban search in the parking lot and chose the first day of hunting season to do it.
My mom lives in NW Montana, Conoco is everywhere.
That's low, even for a bunch of gun grabbers.
Do you really have no clue as the effects of a boycott that actually worked? Do you really think that you're going to "give someone else a job" by putting Conoco out of business?
And who pray tell is going to pay YOUR bills if YOUR place of employment is boycotted next? And no I don't work for Conoco.
The NRA is full of hot air, no brains and less sense.
Smith and Wesson.
Do you really think that you're going to "give someone else a job" by putting Conoco out of business?
We don't think we are going to give anybody a job. That was in response to your stating that we are going to cost someone a job. If we have enough economic clout to cost someone a job, then we have enough clout to give someone a job. There are a certain number of jobs needed in the economy to provide the services that Conoco provides. If Conoco doesn't provide the services, someone else will.
And who pray tell is going to pay YOUR bills if YOUR place of employment is boycotted next?
I thought you said that boycotts don't work anyway? Well, if someone boycotts my place of work, I will get a job somewhere else. It will suck, but that, for example is why I don't work some place that I think is under the threat of a major boycott.
And no I don't work for Conoco.
Who does, your spouse?
The NRA is full of hot air, no brains and less sense.
You sure are ticked off about a boycott that won't work, and doesn't effect you. But please clarify, why do the have no brains and less sense? For promoting a boycott that won't work?
So, you sell Beer. You are infuriated that the NRA is promoting a boycott of Conoco, even though you think boycotts don't work.
What are the chances that someone who thinks boycotts don't work yet is infuriated at an NRA boycott of Conoco and just so happens to sell beer regularly doesn't work at Conoco, despite the denial?
Hard to argue with that.
If CA takes away any rights, do all you can up to and including a revolt.
And the NRA has the right to boycott Conoco for doing so.

Cow Thieves and Outlaws Reunion was one of Frank Phillips most special events....A gun hater, he was not.
FWIW-
It would seem others have disposed of your silly comments quite effectively, so I won't bother.
I'm in.
You are attributing feelings to me that don't exist. The 2nd amendment hasn't gone away and I could care less about what Conoco does so the word "infuriated" doesn't apply in this case. What I see is "oh lets boycott Conoco because Conoco doesn't like guns" which is juvenile and just so much smoke in my opinion. Few if any boycotts have ever worked to the detriment of the company but the fear that one might lose their job because a boycott might actually work is real enough. And for the others, no I don't work for Conoco, no one in my family does or has worked for them. And most of the comments so far have been just as "silly" in my opinion as mine have been in yours.
Well, many, but not all, of them sell CitGo gas. Citgo is owned by Venezuela and thus by Hugo Chavez. You might want to try a nice Chevron, BP, Mobil, Shell, or Exxon station. :)
Yeah, Oklahoma is one of the few states that is supplied by someone else.
Not any more.
Your truly a measure of your words.......
ROTFLMAO !!.....Well done as is the newbies validity.
