Regarding "Weapons laws create dilemma for businesses" (Page B1, Sunday), business columnist Chris Tomlinson makes a compelling case for not conducting business with a business that allows employees and/or customers to carry weapons in its establishment.

Since most businesses do not post 30.06 / 30.07 signs, there will be very few stores for the letter-writer to visit.

That's a targeted ad based on your browsing history. It was purchased "programmatically" and directed at you in miliseconds as the page loaded because you've been to their website, or a similar one. It wasn't sold to the NRA by the publisher. If you were researching baby formula in the last 2 days it would have likely been for diapers.

It could have also been what they call a contextual ad. Google's supercomputers crawling the web and put that ad there because of the content of the story...picked up on "Concealed Handgun License" in the text.

You're right. I did visit the NRA website recently to purchase a 3-year renewal of my NRA membership. Nonetheless, I still found it humorous that there was a NRA Carry Guard ad on an anti-gun article.

I agree with the sentiment that the Houston Chronicle is a poorly written, liberal rag that has no desire to publish balanced, factually correct news. The article started out with the reporter talking about an incident from several years ago, summarizes the current state of gun laws in Texas, gives an overview from a Texas attorney with a CHL on property rights and then spirals into a trash can with the reporter talking about how people feel and react at the sight of a gun.
