I wonder why so many members are fine with 30.06 posted gun shows while they gripe about a Chuck E. Cheese with a gunbuster sign.

Me too. I avoid the businesses with anti-CHL signs and spend my money where they don't post any.

Here's my take on the OP. There was a (non-compiant?) sign and he had the manager's FULL attention showing his pre-approval letter. He let this yahoo know that thirty thousand dollars was walking out of the door because of their nonsensical policies. We can rant and rave all we want about how many CHL's there are or are not in Texas but that is a statistic. A man facing a good chunk of his week's salary walking out of the door is impact.

Do we want to change minds or not? Scotth220 did well.

...you did it just right...don't let anyone talk you into living in the "what-if" fearful land of Oz...if the guy wants to file a false police report, and lie on the stand...that's HIS problem...you stood up and said your piece and stood up for all of us...thanks for doing so...then you took your money and left him with his mouth hanging open and his sales further down for the month...he may not change...but he won't forget!!!

It's always a dangerous thing to out oneself to a stranger, especially in the course of conflict. One could certainly make the argument that if you were arrested and and testimony were brought against you it would be a problem for you. So often all people hear when you're talking is, "Blah, blah, blah, blah, GUN!!"

"Officer, he came in, argued with me, he was angry about our store policy, he said that he wouldn't come back, and oh yea, on the way out he told me he was carrying a gun." You have to ask yourself if you would want this TRUTH to be conveyed to a police officer, and a local television reporter.

...just read back and found this...more fearful imaginings...one could make the argument that the sales manager had a desk monkey with a big hammer with just as much validity...there was no conflict...merely an informing the salesman of why he lost some business...and "if you were arrested"...FOR WHAT????? it seems that whenever someone stands up and makes a firm statement about what they believe, the chickens all fly off their nests...for a minute...then they settle down again...the OP did a good thing the right way....and the sky is NOT falling...

I wish we could cut off all tax funding for schools that don't allow campus carry.

Me too. Can we get that added to SB1581 back in the senate? No funding for schools that don't have a policy allowing CHL.

Fortunately there is only one type of anti-CHL sign in Texas.

I don't think it would be a good idea to tell someone in the course of an argument that you have a wrench in your pocket either. Many people are freaked by guns and if you say that you have a gun in your pocket in the course of an argument it could easily be misconstrued as a threat; so it is radically brighter to keep the whole gun in your pocket to yourself.

don't remember seeing anything about an argument, why is everyone assuming there was an argument here, I agree with what the OP did, I would have done the same thing GB sign or legal 30:06 sign, they want to discriminate then I can too

Call it what you will, there was a disagreement. The OP told him that he didn't like the stores policy, told him he wouldn't do business with him, and told him he was carrying a gun. Do you think it's a good idea to get into such a verbal exchange and expose the contents of your pockets when you just as easily NOT. I think a lot of folks forget what the C stands for.

I really don't understand what the tree comment and smily means, but let's make that more of a one time kinda' thing Announcing that you are carrying a gun in an invitation for trouble. I wish that were not true, but there are folks who will freak when they hear the "G" word; there's just no benefit to outing oneself.
