List of Pro-Gun and Anti-Gun Store(Southwest Indiana)

[rmabrey]

(this post is copied from rambone's post and I hope he doesn't mind me using his template)

We often discuss our encounters at various stores and report back to the forum, whether they be good or bad encounters, regarding their official stance on carrying guns. The goal of this thread is to create a consolidated list of pro-gun & anti-gun stores in Southwest Indiana. If this goes well other people may want to create a thread listing stores in your neck of the woods.

This thread will entail "District 10," defined as:
Knox County
Davies County
Martin County
Gibson County
Pike County
Dubois County
Crawford County
Perry County
Spencer County
Warrick County
Vandergurgh County
Posey County

ANTI-GUN BUSINESSES
The Anti-Gun list will entail stores that have an official policy for restricting carry in their stores. This might have been determined by a visibly posted sign, an encounter with a manager, reading the employee handbook, etc. If at some point the store vindicates themselves we will make a note of it.






GUN-NEUTRAL BUSINESSES
The Gun-Neutral list contains a list of businesses that have no rules on the books about carrying, have no signs posted prohibiting it, and the management do not acknowledge one way or another your decision to carry. Unless you tell me otherwise!

STARBUCKS

Evansville
Taco Johns(Restaurant)--------> St. Joe
Texas Roadhouse(Restaurant)------ Eagle Crest
Gander Mountain(Retail, Sporting Goods)-----> Indiana Street _
Wal-Mart(Everything)------->West Side
Dogtown tavern(Restaurant)------>Old Henderson Rd.

PRO-GUN BUSINESSES
The Pro-Gun list will be a shorter list of stores that have proved themselves to be true friends of gun-owners. I don't think it will be necessary to list every gun shop as a pro-gun store. And this mostly pertains to carry policies, but other aspects should be considered as well.

Evansville
Hobby Town USA(Hobby Shop)--------> N. Green River Rd.



NOTES
Please think hard and contribute so we can get a respectable list going here. I will continue to edit the Original Post as we go. When adding a suggestion let us know the following;

The name of the store.
The type of store (restaurant, clothing store, furniture, etc)
The address (at least what street the store is on).
The town and county.
Summarized comments on what happened in the store.
Include a thread link where applicable, if it has been discussed elsewhere.
Is the comment regarding official policy or a mere encounter with an employee?

Fast Food, tacos
St. Joe

I was in a couple Sundays ago with a few family members and the store was packed. The employees noticed the OC, but didn't say anything. The only ones who made any comments about it at all were the people who came in from the Church I had just came from. Oh Well.

Thumbs Up for the employees and Taco Johns

I didn't know Plainfield was in district 10, did they move the town to southern Indiana?

You can OC in West side Wally World.
They just look at you funny.

Gander Mountain has an official store policy of allowing CC & OC... so in that regard they should be in the pro-gun category.

Of course their prices might justify placing them in the anti list.

Keeping with the theme of the other two threads I am reserving that category for stores that actually encourage you to carry or have done something positive in reaction to that.

And as you said given their prices i will have to keep them as neutral for now

I own the HobbyTown USA franchise in Evansville. My store is pro-carry. OC/CC doesn't matter to me. You are welcome.

I guess I'm going to have to find me a HOBBY now.

guns ARE my hobby. Do you have any of those?

Looks like you can add Pilot/Flying J truck stops to the list. They don't allow their employees to keep a firearm in their car.
