Chris is correct. On THR we had Applebees and some other folks swamped with letters, emails and phone calls from not only the folks local to the NO CCW, included from all around the country.

Advising the Corporations that if that is they way they treated folks in Shall Issue Areas, then in support of , they would stop buying and advising why in other parts of the country.

IIRC Kroger was another. There was also another grocery chain, that posted this NO CCW and had something like 4 Armed robberies in like 3 locations in one week . Couldn't understand why - the sign "said" No guns

Granted some areas have more restrictive Statues than others. We All need to support each other no matter where - other states and such in the Legislative efforts, and to educate the Corporations as to why.

Seems to me Some Corporations only "heard" from the Anti's and read only the "mi-information". When educated with the truth , Corporations can at least make a more informed decision.

The Story of Susan Gratia Hupp is always a great story to relate to Corporations.

She was the Dr., whom in Luby's in Kileen , TX had to leave her CCW in her vehicle due to state law. She lost both parents that day. She is now a District 54 Rep, and works hard for CCW and other 2A/ RKBA efforts.
I'd love it if Gratia-Hupp ran for federal office. We need more like her in DC!

Denny's pulled this crap a few years ago. My gun club and several other regional clubs in south Florida used to go en masse to a Denny's with a sign posted banning CCW's. We'd all go in, about thirty of us and you could always see the manager with $$$ signs in his eyes. Then somebody would point out the sign and we would all get indignant and storm out and the manager would be chasing us all the way pleading about corporate policy and then we'd leave him looking glum and go to the next Denny's. Grand way to spend a Saturday with friends, especially after an IDPA match. Denny's AND Blockbuster video were dissuaded from this policy very quickly.
