The other day I thought I saw a posting on this forum about Parkrose Hardware posting a NO GUNS sign at the entrance of their buildings. Today I went by their Portland store at 106th & Sandy Blvd. Sure enough, there was a sign posted at the entrance. I'd never seen it before and I've been into that store quite a bit for hardware and tools. The sign looks like this:
I turned around and left the store. I won't be going back. Parkrose has always been my "go to" place for anything hardware or tool related. That is all over now. I'll be shopping elsewhere from now on.
I did visit the Parkrose Hardware web site (www.parkrosehardware.com). On their Contact Us page you can leave them a message if you want. I did so and left them a polite message explaining that I would no longer be doing any business with them as a result of their anti-gun store policy. I added that I would be contacting local online gun forums and web sites and passing this information along in the hope that other law abiding gun rights supporters would also avoid doing business with their company. If enough of us do something about this, perhaps Parkrose Hardware will reconsider such a wrong-headed store policy.
I would urge other Northwest Firearms Forum members to contact Parkrose Hardware and tell them what you think. (Be polite though - they probably won't react well to insults or written abuse.)
