This has been bothering me, and I don't think I will do my feelings justice in words, but here it goes:
I would assume that a gun shop/range is fairly pro 2nd A, so why do they all have signs that restrict lawful citizens from carrying when they are there? I know you don't want Billy Bob walking in with his desert eagle and waiving it around for everyone to see, but my mind just can't make any sense of a place that should be a safe haven for guys like myself and then right on the door they restrict my right to carry. I don't know, maybe I am crazy and there is liability and all that crap, but generally I do not visit businesses which make a habit of posting these signs as a form of protest against them, kinda impossible with gun shop/range.
I talked to the guy at Oakwood Sportsman Warehouse about it today, and he tried to give me a good reason but he pretty much failed in convincing me. I would love to see some other opinions on this one. Thanks for the input.
