ANTI-2A BUSINESS

[Kick]

I have read plenty of posts on this site about people who have had issues with OC and CC in certain places. Since word of mouth is the best way to make or break a business, I think it would be good to get a list going of businesses who are anti-2A.

Please list if you were OC or CC along with the name/location of the business and a brief outline of what happened.

Mr. Penguin, a tux shop, in Anderson is anti. They have a sign in there office that says no guns allowed. I'm renting 9 tuxes from their competitor.

Be sure to contact them to let them know this. I'm sure that you'll get the "so what" attitude but if they hear it enough they might change their policy.


What?

It could happen!!!


Really.

It could

 

[spartan933]

Costco is anti-2A. They have a sign saying no firearms allowed in store. Also, Portillo's has an anti-firearms policy.

This could become useful...

 

[Z-Glock23]

No way, Protillo's in Merrerville has a no gun policy? For customers or employees?

 

[PatriotPride]

Unfortunately, they are. The policy applies to both employees and patrons except LEOs.

Portillo's took down the sign saying "firearms prohibited." They may not have changed official policy, but the sign was gone as of a couple months ago.

Exactly, the sign came down but the policy remains.

I don't eat there.

This is what I got back a few months ago:

[FONT=&quot]Thank you for your email. While we understand and appreciate that you want to protect yourself, we are concerned that other persons may not have proper weapon training or may use the weapon in the heat of an argument. Unfortunately, we have had several arguments between different customers where the police were called to intervene. Since our managers are trained in how to run a restaurant and not police work, we feel that this is the best solution for both our customers and staff.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Thank you for your feedback. We hope that you will reconsider and simply leave your firearm in your car when you visit our establishment.[/FONT]

You folks do realize that no guns allowed signs carry no weight of law? Concealed means concealed. All they can ask you to do is leave. Have some "no guns/no money" business cards printed up and give it to them when you are asked to leave.

 

[Astrocreep]

fwacfred, many people like to know who 'prohibits' firearms so that they can voice their disapproval by spending money at a competing, firearms-friendly establishment.

I don't think anyone here is under the illusion that you could be arrested simply because you had a gun in a store with a 'no-firearms' sign.

To add:
Tuchman Cleaners in Indianapolis/Carmel
Value City Furniture
Costco Indianapolis
Simon Malls
Any Hospital is going to have that sign

The Indianapolis Zoo is VERY anti-2A even for off duty LEO's. security is ran by retards

VCF, really? All of the others I've read about here, but not VCF. Makes me glad I just paid off our table we bought at Christmas. Won't be shopping there any more.

As for Simon Malls. I've been in there doing the ol' CC and had no encounters. I even have stopped and chatted with the security before, but they didn't know I had it. I sometimes find it funny how they put the signs up. I sometimes feel like a .

Although most hospital's have this sign, I'm fairly certain I haven't seen the "no firearms allowed" emblem or sign posted anywhere at the entrances to Howard Regional Hospital in Kokomo. A relative of mine works there and I drop by from time to time randomly. Most of the time I CC because I am already doing so. The other hospital in Kokomo, St. Joseph Hospital, does have a little handgun with a line through it pictured on their doors.

They're in Illinois. What did you expect?

 

[Astrocreep]

VCF, really?

Yep, it's posted right next to the 'Hours of Operation' sticker on the front doors of all their stores.
VCF is about the only business that I intentionally avoid purely for that reason.

All St. Vincent Hospitals (and their satellite offices) in Indianapolis/Carmel have signs declaring 'no guns in here' ... didn't stop me once.

I have yet to be bugged for OC yet, and I've done so at walmart, methodist downtown, and costco, thus far I think they just assumed I was off duty LEO, dressing nice and a glock will do that I suppose

How so?

I guess they are still mad about Don suing them and winning an undisclosed amount of cash, I kind of thought that would have changed their attitude a little bit. I still carry in there every year.
