Like I said I thought it was odd that only a 30.06 went up. Maybe they are planning on putting a 30.07 up later and just didn't have it available yet. I'll never know because I won't be going back. I wrote to them via their contact us section on their website and got the same response someone else posted here. I also called the store and informed a manager that I, along with my girlfriend, wouldn't be shopping at HPB because of it.cbunt1 wrote:The posting of a NEW 30.06 seems unusual, since (to my knowledge) HPB stores have never been 30.06 before, but in the big scheme of things, I can see why they'd handle it that way.Jago668 wrote:The one in Richardson on 75 and Belt Line only had 30.06 up this morning when I went by.

My take on it is that they are going 30.06, since if I'm concealed, you'd never know it, and as such, you'd never have the occasion to directly notify me otherwise. If I'm carrying openly, and you notice it, you mention it to me, and I now have effective notice. Not the approach I'd take, but then again, I'm desensitized to it (as are most of us on this forum.)
It's the first confirmed report (I've seen) of standalone 30.06 going up in response to open carry, but we may see more of it in the near future. Hopefully it will go away quietly once the streets remain paved with asphalt rather than blood for a while.

Re: Both signs at McKinney Half Price Books
The one in Richardson on 75 and Belt Line only had 30.06 up this morning when I went by. I had heard they were putting signs up and we were eating breakfast right next door so figured I would look. Don't know if they just hadn't gotten around to the 30.07 yet or what. Told my girlfriend it's odd to put a 30.06 up and not a 30.07. They've definitely lost my business.
