Re: Both signs at McKinney Half Price Books

I asked them also on their contact form.

I asked...
"I just saw that you are now posting 30.07 AND 30.06 signs on at least some of your Texas locations to forbid firearms. While I understand the 30.07 open carry signs to prevent distraction, the 30.06 will prevent me and the majority of the CHL community from patronizing your stores. I have purchased many books and music items in the past, but will not enter an establishment that will make me disarm to shop there. You are certainly within your legal rights, but I have not had to disarm coming in before, and you never noticed. This is the same as all of the other CHL customers. We follow the law, and will just not enter if the 30.06 is posted. These 30.06 signs do nothing to prevent people that wish to do harm while preventing law abiding people from entering. Thank you for your time,"


Received the following response...
"Thank you for your email. Half Price Books has had a long-standing policy making all of our stores and facilities weapons-free. This policy will not change in 2016, though we are now posting signs in our Texas stores that are compliant with the relative statutes starting on January 1st.

We respect customer opinions even if they differ with our own. However, it is the policy from our corporate offices, to our warehouses, and to our stores that weapons are not allowed on the premises. We decided to do this for the comfort and safety of our employees and customers.

Again, thank you for contacting us."



So I responded with this, but do not expect to hear back...
"Thank you for your response. You are certainly well within your rights as a private company to have any policies you wish. I along with all other CHL holders will respect that decision. Those that wish to do harm won’t care about your policy though. All of the mass shootings have happened in gun free zones and I will have to abstain from frequenting any business that asks me to allow myself to be a victim. I will be back if the concealed signs come down."
