No I cant, I believe that a store has a right to set their own policy be it smoking , non-smoking, no shoes no shirt or carrying guns. All the same to me, this is a private business that can set their own policies whether you or I agree with them or not.

This guy is doing more than stating an opinion. He clearly states that he was prepared for this type of confrontation and welcomed it.

The title of this thread is Costco Bans Guns. It should read:

Guy does not like store policy

Once again: the man simply wanted upfront disclosure of Costco's policy. Had they provided it, he would have never signed on to be a customer in the first place.

This isn't about Costco's policy. It's about Costco's attempt to have it both ways: to have the money of gun owners without disclosing to gun owners that Costco abhors the Second Amendment and donates money to moonbat causes determined to undermine it.

No I cant,
In the non-smoking case the govenment is not giving the store the choice. That is the difference.
1.Anti-smokers have law passed forcing all stores to have a nonsmoking policy.
2. Pro-gun shoppers refuse to shop at Costco and spread the word.
That you refuse to see the difference is telling.

You are arguing here with a staw man, not anyone on this thread.

I fail to see how the fact that he was prepared and eager to state his opinion is evidence that he was doing more than stating his opinion.

I disagree, the news here is Cosco Bans Guns. The fact that some disagree and refuse to shop at such a store is hardly news or headline worthy.
