Not sure if their mobile truck is posted or not, I will have to find the location of one this weekend and see if it has a sign.

I have donated blood on a regular basis for the last 20 or so years, my wife worked at the hospital and normally donated there. The last few years I have gone to the United Blood Services local office in Midland to donate, recently they added a 30.06 sign. Now I don't think that anything will happen in the donation center, I doubt an armed robbery would occur, but there is always the possibility that a lunatic will walk in and I will need to defend myself. Also I don't like to unholster and leave my gun in the car. My question comes about because after the last visit a couple of months ago they sent me a survey and on the survey I told them I would like someone to contact me about their sign. Now I am of the opinion that I do not frequent the establishments that post these types of signs and I always try to let someone know either via website or in person if it is a locally owned business, some take it into consideration, even our mall posted at one time and when I had the opportunity to speak with the mall manager about it, the signs were taken down, now I do not believe they were taken down just because of what I told him but I like to believe that it got him to question why they were up and possibly get a decision made by corporate to allow them to be taken down.

So I received a letter today after playing phone tag with a representative of United Blood Services explaining why they put them up.

So my questions:

Would you still donate there if they won't take down the sign?

and

What is your opinion on the legitimacy of the explanation?

I have never seen or heard of anyone reaching for their gun upon waking up after fainting, the only reason I can see this happening is to make sure that it is still secure in its holster and that it is not exposed when I was carrying concealed.
