Re: Do you refuse to do business with 30.06 & 30.07 businesses?

I've been thinking about this. There are different levels of being offended. I take 30.06 signs as a personal affront. Thankfully I have seen very few. The few that I've seen are in petro/chemical or medical/hospitals businesses. Both types of places I cross the line and enter unarmed. Some places

And, that is the reason 30.07 signs are posted, not because the business is anti-gun, but because they're concerned that significantly more people will be put off than OCers and their revenue will be decreased, i.e., it's a business decision.

It's their decision to make no matter what. All the crying and gnashing of OC teeth notwithstanding...
I understand that it's just the perception of the Management and owners that matters. I believe that hardly anyone cares if there is no sign. Although there are a few of us that care if there is a sign. I know a few antis most of them are sheep and haven't a clue about 30.07 / 30.06 and likely wouldn't notice if one OCing a Dessert eagle in a dropleg holster.

I think your sentiment regarding 30.07 is spot on. I would even go so far as to say that 30.06 does not explicitly mean anti-gun. It's an "All chickens are birds, but not all birds are chickens" situation. To some 30.07 is dress-code to some it's political. While I would say that most 30.06 is anti-gun, I can't say that every single business posting 30.06 is anti-gun. Until I speak with the person on whom the final decision rested I can't say that I know why they posted it. I can assume that it's usually anti-gun, but to assume that it's always anti-gun is to assume that I know everything about the business. 30.07 can be anti-gun, or it can be smart business. Honestly, I don't blame a business that wants to keep revenue from both the moderately pro 2A and moderately anti-gun sides. 30.07 (without 30.06) only alienates the more severe advocates of either side, while maintaining the bulk of a customer base. Unless you started a business purely on constitutional principal, I assume you wanted some revenue from the business. Finding a compromise that maintains the largest customer base is just financially sound.

That being said: since the bulk of my revenue does not come from a business I own, anything I'm saying is just armchair QB talk anyway.
I always thought that most 30.07 signs are pretty silly. I don't see Walmart or Krogers losing any money because they haven't posted signs. There are a lot fewer rabid anti's her than most of us believe, but I do believe that HEB has lost some customers over these signs. Maybe just a very small percentage, but no retail business likes to lose even a small percentage of customers.

Re: Do you refuse to do business with 30.06 & 30.07 businesses?

I don't mind 30.07 signs, but I will avoid whenever reasonable businesses that post 30.06. To me, asking one to coverup is no more an inconvenience or denial of my rights than a no shirt - no service sign. And I would much rather drive 20 miles to a 30.07 posted HEB than 3 miles to our nasty non-posted Walmart.

Different strokes and all that.
