I can think of a situation in NYC where the on-duty police shot plenty of innocent bystanders.

I can think of several situations where non-LTC holder BGs shot innocent bystanders.

A search of the internet reveals that an innocent bystander is more likely to be shot by a police officer or be caught in the crossfire of two gangs in a shootout than be shot by a civilian with a LTC. An innocent bystander being shot is pretty much a myth. In an active shooter situation even if a bystander was struck by the LTC holder he would be in the danger zone and, with no one to stop him, the BG would likely shoot him anyway.

Had a real need to go to the store in Richardson near the Alamo Draft House this weekend. Almost bit the bullet and went in, but instead visited Amazon when I got home. Really loved that store, but I feel very compelled to stick to my principles.

The wife of my LifeGroup leader works at the HPB in Bedford, and she's madder than a wet hen, because she sometimes works late hours, and she can't CC any longer. She loves books too, but I don't know if she loves books enough to put up with this crap for much longer.

Maybe we could start a competing business, and call it "Liberty Books", tagline "The Bookstore that Respects ALL of your Bill of Rights".

Does the NRA have any "gun friendly" investment plan? I would be nice to put retirement money in a fund that invests in companies that have a positive view of 2A. I'm sure there are quite a few "activist investors" on the other side of the issue.

How many of these dual 30.06/30.07 signs are bought and posted out of ignorance?

An uninformed/uninterested, non-gun manager or managerette would be easy pickens' for a sign peddler of a 'twofer one signs deal' that will legally solve all your gun problems?

After paying for our purchase of a book on birds and another on dog training, I told the clerk/cashier at the Half Price Book store today in Rockwall that I did not appreciate the 30.06 sign on the entrance. The clerk said, "huh", what sign". :roll:

Back in the truck, Mrs. Oldgringo informed me that the clerk not only didn't know what I was talking about, he didn't care. She thinks she is so smart. :banghead:

Perhaps you missed an earlier part of this thread. The clerk/cashier may be ignorant about the signs, but the owner of the chain is not.

Thanks Bill. After I looked at him and mentioned guns, he did mutter something about management. I reckon the point, if there is one, is that the hired help, bless their hearts, don't know and don't care. Furthermore, I don't feel less a man for storing my CC in the truck and shopping in the posted store. BTW, the nature/outdoor/fishing/pet books are in the same corner as the shooting/gun books.

Sorry for bringing up an old thread, but in all fairness I went to the Plano Half-Price Books on Preston Road in Plano a couple of weeks ago and did not see it posted.
