Best Buy bans concealed carry in Ohio stores - Page 3

Thank God for WA. Businesses can post all they want.....and if they do make me (never happen), all they can do is ask me to leave.

Moreover, not many places in WA have the silly signs. In fact they're INCREDIBLY scarce. The only place I can think of off the top of my head is the local Westfield mall chains, and anyone who knows anything about WA malls knows that know prudent CCWer would be caught there unarmed, especially in the parking lots.

Hadn't been to Best Buy in quite a while, so today I ventured to the McKinney Texas store to buy a GPS...made a point to look at the entrance for any anti-gun signs.....nada, jiltz.....so far so good!

I have called and lodged my complaint with Best Buy.

Emailed em, let em know I will not shop their stores. I believe contacting em may help reverse policy. After all look at the # of CCW issuing states anymore.

I thought it had fallen on deaf ears but I got this in my email today:

Thank you for contacting Best Buy. I'm Ken with Customer Care and I
apologize I was not able to respond sooner.

guns on the premises. We are committed to abiding to all state and local
regulations, and we are also committed to the safety of our customers
and employees. Best Buy does not have a company-wide policy prohibiting

prohibiting the lawful carrying of guns in our stores have been removed or will
be removed in the near future.
