Jared Jewelry ~ Gun Free Zone

[melensdad]

Anyone shopping for a diamond, a watch, or whatever?

 

[Ri22o]

Interesting.

Not that I was in the market for jewelry anytime soon, but I'm not shopping there ever.

I have as much right to carry a firearm as they have to sell over priced rocks.

The commercial they run on the radio is enough to turn me away.

 

[esrice]

TV is worse.

Looks like there's three in this state to avoid:

Westfield Southlake-Outparcel
2196 Southlake Mall
Merrillville

Greenwood Park Mall
729 West County Line Rd.
Greenwood

Keystone Crossing 8520
Keystone Crossing
Indianapolis

Thanks, Melensdad.

Yup, I'm near the Westfield/Southlake store. Decided to take my business to a local jeweler.

I have thought about starting a Packing Blacklist web site. It would list all of the non gun friendly businesses. Yes, it would be publicity for the businesses, but at the same time I think it would be a good list to have.

Would anyone else want to help me put something like this together? Good idea or bad idea?

 

[Fenway]

I like the idea. Would you care to manage a sticky thread in this forum with a list of businesses to avoid?

If Ri22o's not interested, I'll volunteer. I might also suggest a second list of gun-friendly businesses. Not just ones that are ambivalent, but ones who actually welcome armed citizens. I'd rather give a business like that my money.

I'm sure I could manage it, but I don't have the knowledge of pro and anti gun businesses. The main thing keeping me from doing it is having a list with only a couple businesses on it.

You really need to be careful with this and not wholesale blacklist a business. The local Subway's had one of the Ghost-buster type of signs. I wrote the HQ and the owner of the local store called me and apologized. He then removed the "No guns" sign. (BTW if you are ever on the East side stop in at the Subway's 21st and Mitthoeffer)

I've also thought of this, but don't know of any places other than Chili's and Schnucks from people posting on here.

That would also be the purpose of the list. If it were a public list and publicized, then businesses would realize they have been blacklisted by gun owners and hopefully see the light.

I have heard Goodyear has a national policy aganst firearms. All their stores are "Gun Free Zones".

Here is a link to the Ohio CCW website's list. It is probably the best resource I've seen to date. You can do an alphabetical search, or you can search by type of store. It would be great if we could build such a resource here.

That is exactly what I was talking about. I wonder how difficult something like that would be to set up.

Here's a list for Michigan, compiled by the Michigan Coalition for Responsible Gun Owners.

My God. That list is huge. I knew OH was a screwed up state politically but had no idea it was this bad.

bw, Ohio is still new to the scene. Just like Tejas it will get better for them.

The Subway Guy has a jewelry store! I'm glad he is branching out but we need to get a letter-writing campaign going, gentlemen.

Do you have a form type letter that you prefer? One that we may adapt to the individual location?
