"Joe's" went out of business shortly after renaming it to that.. some years ago.

The one I shop at does not have a "no guns allowed" sign on the door.You know Costco has a no gun policy as well.
I conceal carry in every venue where it is not expressly forbidden by law.
If we self-select ourselves out of enough businesses that have asked us that (but not banned us), isn't that just giving MDA a defacto win?
I haven't seen one at any of the Costco's I go to, but it is their policy nonetheless.The one I shop at does not have a "no guns allowed" sign on the door.
If I owned a business that catered to the public, I would not allow long guns to be carried inside. Concealed carry, no problem. Open carry of holstered handguns, no problem. Long gun....go leave it in your car, or ask me for a safe place in the back to store it. If you want to parade around like a badass with your bubba'd up SKS or AR, take it someplace else.
Speaking specifically to TX, open carry isn't legal with anything other than a rifle or shotgun.
Speaking to the demands of the demanding Moms, in my experience with Starbucks over the Brady/CSGV/mom boycotts, their language has never discriminated between OC or CC. If there is a gun involved, they want it banned.
If you were to specifically ban one carry mode in your store, you'd lose my business, regardless of my CC'ing.
We need to stop allowing Shannon, et al, to balkanize our community.
Listen, while I fully agree with the right to keep and bear arms and do so daily, there comes a point where one has to ask a question of oneself and then of others, is this going to positively or negatively sway the opinion of those on the edge of the fence?
I personally have had enough of folks that claim to represent me showing up in camo and other mall ninja gear stating thats its their 2nd amendment right to do so, yes it is, and I swore an oath at one time to defend your right to do so.
That said, if you feel the need to act the part of the class clown that always has to have the limelight and be the center of attention, then don't claim to represent (me) or (all) of those that may possibly have done far more to defend this right then walk around with a "look at me" sign over your shoulder.
I know there are members here who will have ruffled feathers over this post, but in reality there are many millions of times a year in which a firearm is used to stop a crime from occurring.
When was the last time you heard of it in a positive light from the media?
All you hear about is the negative. I would implore of all of you to take note of that.
I feel the same about those that choose to carry a large sheath knife on the outside just to look big and bad as well, right. The last thing I want someone to have over me is the ability to defend myself, and then the element of surprise. We risk losing this so called inalienable right due to the actions of those that can't seem to figure out that it became illegal to scream fire in a theatre because someone just couldn't help themselves.
