I am a member of a wholesale club like BJ’s, Sam’s club or Costco, as well as a habitual and lawful carrier of a concealed handgun. Recently I was looking at various stores and their stances on stuff and realized that my club store has a firm stance against open carry, and their CEO even went to far as to pen a pretty sanctimonious public statement about how guns just sorta aren’t welcome because families or something.. put me to sleep.
Of course with the passage of time our enemy has become ever bolder in its demands for capitulation and empty public statements.
Part of me wants to write a letter to whoever would listen, calling club store’s efforts halfhearted at best and insisting that a real commitment to disarming its members would include metal detectors at the doors. I feel like it either proves them hypocritical or demands a commitment to wokeness that will seriously undercut their customer base.
Is there any reason why that’s a stupid idea?
Laws/rules adversely affect the good people and not the bad people.
IF there's a metal detector at the door, then I cannot carry. That doesn't prevent a criminal from finding a weapon to use in the store. Then I cannot protect myself.
I’m saying, find another store if they buy in.
Which store when they ALL BUY IN.
I think the playbook says to provoke them and then make an example of the first one to step out.
