I think it's a combination of hitting them where it hurts (their wallet), and also putting it in perspective. Posting a 30.06 is not "increasing safety" or "reducing gun violence". It is an action that makes everyone less safe while simultaneously infringing on people's rights.Jusme wrote:Good job Soccerdad1995!!
I might have included something to the effect of the signage only applying to the most lawful citizens in Texas, but I think you got the point across.
I had something similar happen when I was car shopping for my son. The salesman met me in the parking lot where we had seen a car he was interested in. were going to test drive it so the salesman was walking us to the showroom. I saw both 30.06, and 30.07 signs and stopped. I told the salesman we were no longer interested. He asked why, and I pointed to the signs and said, I can't go in there, because I have my gun with me. He said well you can leave it in the car, I told him I was going to my car, but I was going to be leaving in it, and would not be buying anything until the signs were removed. My son and I left and bought a car later that week somewhere else.
Hopefully, enough people will let their wallets do their talking, that these businesses, will begin to feel it.
But yeah, lost sales is probably more persuasive than the moral argument.
