Businesses are debating how to handle the state's concealed carry law. Would you be more likely or less likely to patronize a business that posts a sign that says "Your gun is welcome here"?

More likely

Less likely

Wouldn't matte

I think these poll numbers are probably representative as they mirror other issue result around my area of the nation.

It appears there exists near parity between the percentage of the population that embraces freedom and personal responsibility versus the percentage who want the government to control everything.

I tend to avoid businesses that push a socialist agenda but sometimes they have the item I need so in that case I buy there.

We had this same malarky in Missouri too. I have a sign in the computer I print off. It says.

” To all wanta be robber types you will find a safe working enviroment inside this business. All the God Fearin, law biding, honest people who are allowed to carry are out shopping and spending their money in other stores.

this gets posted over the No Gun signs.

I use to go to a restaurant in Monroe NC. They put up a "No Guns" sign and I quit going. There's a lot of restaurants out there that don't require me to leave my pistol in my truck when I go out to lunch, so why should I put up with it?

I wrote them a polite letter explaining my point and told them that I would return if they removed the sign. They left it there until the restaurant closed about six months later. Apparently I wasn't the only one who didn't like the policy.

We had a law in Kennesaw that said one had to own a gun. One of our favorite cafes had a sign that hinted at this. It was a part of our local lore.

A piece of s.... out of town group, got the law overturned and now we have lots of drug dealers and thieves moving in.

Australia banned guns and it happened to a whole country.

DOH!

Did you inform them that you had stopped going, and why?

I like to patronize businesses where the good guys are allowed to have guns too.

My latest "this is cool, I gotta buy it" (Turked 1918 Oberndorf GEW98).
Darn hard to conceal. Open carry, maybe?

You should see this muzzle flash at night:

I was watching that show, “Sons of Guns”, and they were shooting a Saiga 12 gauge pistol! Yikes!

That’s a Serbu Super Shorty in my pic.

It hurts to shoot 3” shells with one hand.

[dynachrome]

Ouch. Should rename it “The wrist breaker”!
