And, imkopaka updated the Texas3006 entry. Good job!imkopaka wrote:Here in Lamesa, we only have two grocery stores. I was dismayed when I discovered that one of them, Claiborne's Thriftway, erected 30.06 and 30.07 signs at the beginning of the year. Obviously I'm not going to give my business to someone who won't let me carry, but I couldn't just stop going. I had to make sure they knew I wasn't going, and that they understood why. I sent the attached letter to the owner and a week later the 30.06 sign came down! Feel free to alter and use this letter to your liking, and maybe you can start affecting change where you live!
Before you ask: yes, I did support their choice to restrict open carry. As a student of business I am beginning to understand the factors that go into a decision like that. While I would never restrict legal carry in a business I owned, I understand the desire to accommodate the customers who are uncomfortable around guns. It was a business decision. It wasn't personal. On the other hand, restricting concealed carry does not benefit anyone and it makes an enemy of every legal gun carrier. If you want to remove the language from the letter that marginalizes their decision to restrict open carry, feel free.
