Dear Sir or Madam,

I have seen your new 30.06 sign and I will follow your wishes by never doing business with you while I am lawfully carrying a concealed handgun under Section 30.06 of the Texas Penal Code.

What you’re telling the hundreds of thousands of armed Texans, and growing daily, is that you do not want our “kind” in your establishment. Done.

Concealed handgun licensees are among the most law-abiding citizens in our state. We have passed a rigorous investigation by local, state and federal authorities. We have never had any felony convictions or any misdemeanour convictions in the last 10 years. We have been trained in handgun safety. We have been fingerprinted and documented and have done this at our own expense.

It is clear there is not an increased safety risk by allowing concealed handguns, quite the contrary. We are trained to handle our weapons. The perceived risk is unfounded…a false sense of security. We inherently provide a safer environment for all around us.

For these reasons, I, and my family, and numerous friends and acquaintances are not going to do business with you any longer. We will choose an environment that does not limit our freedoms, such as the Gaylord right across highway 26.

I will start documenting your choice at all website that tracks businesses that post the 30.06 statue such as http://www.texas3006.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Your establishment is now on that list, and it keeps law-abiding citizens aware of dangerous places to stay away from.

No Guns = No Safety = No Money


Disappointed but Sincerely,

Chad
