A Way to Thank Gun Friendly Businesses and Counter Anti's

[BobFromBucks]

Moms Demand Action (Another Bloomberg paid for group) is gaining traction with their activities. I mean who doesn't love Moms.

One of their new techniques is to give thank you cards to merchants, restaurants, etc. for posting "No Guns Allowed" in their places of establishment. You can see an example and photo below.



If there is interest, I can have a graphic designer who works for me create our own thank you for being pro-gun type of card. We can print them up or I'd be more than happy to make the digital file available to forum members. If you wanted printed pieces, I'd only recoup the cost and shipping.

Let me know if you are interested and I also welcome your ideas for a message for the card.

Here's a link to the story where I got the photo.

I would happily buy them on good card stock, especially if they had the logo (permission) of PAFOA, Leigh Valley Open Carry, or GRAA-PA.

No, that story isn't slanted at all.

It's the Huffy Puffy Post - what did you expect? True unbiased journalism?

That right there is the challenge.

That right there is a bigger challenge.
You'd need permission, but on top of that, would it even help to have the message tied to any one organization? I dunno.

Please, let's NOT do this. Remember the Starbucks fiasco?

Exactly.

Are there many sizable businesses that encourage or welcome carrying? Walmart, sometimes. Cabellas, Gander Mountain , maybe? I've seen threads about people being hassled there.
Local gun shops, especially those with attached ranges can be very restrictive about carrying in them. Gun shows? Not without a zip tie.
Even my own gun club prohibits open carry during general meetings.

I do not see the whole "We follow state and local law" as an endorsement for carrying. I see it more as a "we don't want to get in the middle of this argument and piss off people on both sides". They tolerate carriers. Once either side becomes vocal enough, they are forced to take a stand. I think that 9 times out of 10 they will end up siding with the group that is more photogenic and can claim more purchasing power.

Better idea, just get stacks of the thank you cards made by Moms Demand Action and give it to some criminals and tell them all the places where people have been disarmed for their convenience. The only requirement is to leave a card after they rob the place.
