We should update this as much as possible. The site is a bit cumbersome to navigate right now, but I'm sure they will make it better.
To view businesses around you, click map. To add businesses, click add rating. You may need to be a member to add ratings but it's easy.
Let's make this as comprehensive as possible!
Friend or Foe - Pro and Anti Gun Business Database
That's a great idea. I'll have to start paying attention to the gun buster signs and update that map accordingly!
it's actually a lot of fun.Quote:

That's odd considering their corporate policy is to allow CC or OC as state law allows. ETA: I've never had an issue in any Gander Mountain store I've ever been, and I OC quite often.Quote:

Perhaps a call or email to their corporate office is in order.

Been looking for a site like this. Looks like a couple locals already have quite a few businesses tagged, thanks!
Never had a problem at our Gander.Quote:

If there is one of those nice "we encourage concealed carry" signs- then I understand added them to the list of being pro-2a. But if there is no sign, having a database is bringing attention to that establishment that might provoke signs going up. It would be like calling ahead of time to see if you can carry somewhere. It brings attention to an issue that the business may not of thought about and once they think about it- a sign may go up.
I like to think any place that doesn't have a sign is pro 2A but I have come to learn that a lot of places just don't think about it and when you bring it up some are like "oh ya- we should probably get a sign"
you can give them a negative, neutral, or positive rating. unless carry in encouraged, i usually just give a neutral rating if some place doesnt have a sign.Quote:
