Nice pic! I was out with my wife and MIL a bit ago, and MIL said "Hey, we're right next to IKEA, lets go!". Had to use the old "I left my phone in the car" excuse to put my gun up (MIL doesn't really know I carry). I also tried to take a sneaky photo of the sign, but mine came out as a close up of the sign. Yours shows just how massive that sign is - that's got to be some kind of record for a 30.06 sign, considering it takes up the entirety of the lower glass panel.

Regarding IKEA in general, I personally like the style of furniture they have, as well as the pricing. I don't like the sprawling maze of a store, nor the ridiculous amount of people though. TBH, It's not like we need to go buy furniture there all the time (how many $50 coffee tables can one possible need?), so I'd be more upset if it was a store I had to frequent more often. Don't get me wrong - seeing a 30.06 doesn't make me happy camper, but as many have said "vote with your wallet". As it is, I don't want to go back. But that flatpack outdoor furniture is calling my patios name .

If that's the case, pressure in the correct places may be able to get the decision to post reversed. If regional management gets wind that they are losing customers and their brand is being tarnished by the actions of the management of a single store, then the decision to post the store with 30.06 signs could be rescinded.

I have no problems with the brand itself. They have a good business model that works for them. A significant portion of our furniture was purchased from Ikea. They have similar return policies as those mentioned above regarding the Wal-Mart stores. I will not, however, patronize a business that posts 30.06. I will be writing a letter explaining why Ikea has lost my business, to the appropriate parties, as soon as I am able to track down contact information for those individuals.

Tell them that you would have bought all of that if they didn't have a sign that prevented you from protecting your family as is your duty and right. Tell them that you, and thousands others in their region, won't be patronizing them again. Walk out.

Not that the economic impact will be much, have you ever tried to part there on a Saturday? They finally built a multi-story garage to accommodate more customers.
