Fix-n-Feed hardware and ranch supply in Bonham posted both signs. Looks like I get to drive five more miles up the road to T.S.C. or Bonham Hardware. I can except the 30.07, but I will not accept the 30.06.
Bonham is still small and people drive in from quite a ways in the outskirts. This will not go well for them.

Boss informed me today that she would be posting both. She said me and only me had permission to still carry concealed on the property.

CRAP!!!
Had my 7 year old daughter with me all day. Two stores in McKinney and Cabela's in Allen. Carried concealed everywhere we went. I'll be damned if we will ever go into any place that tells me I cannot protect us.

All the OC push is basically backfiring as many businesses who never had never posted before are now posting both signs.
It is yet to be seen whether folks upset about the 30.06 signs will have enough of an effect to cause them to back down. But I doubt it will.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

You ever spent any time around Bonham?
edit: FYI there is a Tractor Supply two miles away, as well as a very good hardware store 5 miles away. Not to mention a Fastenal on the square. I'm close friends with the son in law of the Police chief. Even he is upset. We'll see what happens. I'd bet the 30.06 sign comes down.

It is yet to be seen whether folks upset about the 30.06 signs will have enough of an effect to cause them to back down. But I doubt it will. I haven't been into town yet, so I don't know how it's going here. (My shop and my home are a few miles apart, both in the county.) I WILL be speaking with store owners who put up new 30.06 signs. Posting 30.07 doesn't bother me at all, but I do not wish to lose the ability to protect myself and my family. If all of us explain this position in a polite, calm and professional manner, they just may notice that they are driving away the wrong type of customers. Yes, I have seen it work before for small businesses who need their customers. Marc

Be sure to tell them how much Revenue annually and whom should you report that too as most these managers are at best middle management.If you spend 5-10k annually and that stores losses say half a dozen customers that's over 50k a year....more than most those guys yearly salary....
The way things should be are not often the way things are.....

That's true but they are thinking from that perspective too - only in reverse. They think it's a net gain for them to let folks know it's gun-free. IMO 30.07 signs are probably a net gain but 30.06 signs may not be. I don't think the vast, vast majority of folks have any issue with CC.

I will not be going to Bonham any time soon so I plan to send an e-mail to whomever receives them for the store.
I am going to inform them that they just made themselves what is called a "soft target". I plan to do the same with my bank, with whom I have a great relationship. The McKinney branch has always displayed a 30.06, but the Anna branch does not. I will remind them that armed Robert is already illegal yet criminals do it every day across the country. Disarming your law abiding license holders is the most foolish thing you can do for the safety of the customers and the employees. If I had a store front I would make concealed carry mandatory for my employees, and even assist in them getting their license and the purchase of their pistol.

That is shocking to me especially at a business of that nature.
On another note, I saw a 30.06 sign at a gun shop of all places!! It was at the end of the pistol range and being used as a target. <insert drum roll here>

I ventured out with my daughter this morning - saw 4 different places with both signs newly put up.

Did I infer or directly state I was going to attack their business? NO! You jumped way out of bounds on that one. No way in the world would I even think kf doing such a thing. I was referring to the psychopaths that attack businesses and schools. I am not in that group.
