Um.......ok.....?? I don't understand.

I believe he finds the price, selection, value proposition at HEB superior to the other outfit, OC or no.

This right here... its the exact reason I probably won't be frequenting any HEBs anytime soon. Yes they have the right to post them, but I find it a slap in the face to the most law abiding citizens of the state. And they are even flippant about why they are doing it. If every pro 2A red blooded American would stop shopping at HEB because of it, I wonder how long till they were running specials for anyone who open carried into the store.
I know, I know - it ain't going to happen, but a man can dream can't he ?

If you think it is redblooded pro 2A Americans keeping the company afloat. Go in there on a day when there is a rumor INS is in town doing roundups. There will be almost no shoppers, and like 3 employees. Happened where I grew up, and that was central Texas not South Texas.

That's probably a function of the community where the store is located. That's not the case in Friendswood.
