Why get your back up about this? This isn't the government violating the 2nd ammendment. Costco is a private enterprise with the right to establish policies for what happens in their own stores. Or do private property rights not apply to big, Northeastern stores run by liberals?

Two points:

- It is always good to fight the anti-gun mentality.

- Costco wishes to have its cake and eat it too by not publicizing the gun ban.

And just as Costco has the right to not allow guns, so does this person have the right to withdraw their business, publicize Costco's policies and encourage others to boycott Costco.
