Foreigners have a limited moral obligation to respect our ideals and values, and I can give them somewhat of a pass for doing anything they want within relevant laws, without regard to the higher principles embodied in the Constitution.

I agree, as long as they're not doing business in the US. If they want to do business here then they need to respect our ideals and values. Otherwise, they're free to conduct their business in Iraq or Afghanistan, where I suspect they are actually more inclined to respect the local values --or so it seems based on the widespread concern the socialist west countries like the UK seem to have for respecting Muslim values.

I hate liars. They may have prohibited people with CHL's from carrying a weapon into their establishment, since most people who have a CHL obey the law, but they are most certainly not prohibiting anyone who isn't inclined to obey the law. Since I doubt this executive is stupid, he knows that the sign is only stopping licensed firearm possession in his "establishment," and that has to be the sole intent of the policy, and therefore the statement is a baldfaced lie.

I read on some other gun forum awhile back that USAA is anti-gun and opposed concealed carry here in Texas --unfortunately I can't find that reference now. As this article indicates, they're certainly not gun friendly: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/spe ... 83905.html

Here https://www.tsra.com/index.php?option=c ... Itemid=113 the TSRA calls "USAA, Verizon, Texas Chemical Council ....." the "usual" opposition, suggesting they are reflexively anti-gun.

Anyone know if USAA has opposed gun rights on other fronts? If there is evidence out there that USAA is anti-gun I'll have to tell them goodbye.
