Great, you ought to register and put your business in there as gun friendly. Kudos to you. I just thought it might be something fellow gunners would like to scan over. I just bought a membership to Cosco, they don't like guns, therefore they don't like my money either.

The nearest ones shown around here are for Memphis. Nothing in Jonesboro.
I finally got to check it out. Not a lot of business shown in my area, but FriendorFoe seems to be getting more exposure, so maybe there will be more ratings posted.
88 whiners and here I am with no cheese! Never gave it a thought really, but it would make people and business owners think. Carry or not carry. Open or not at all. Yes, or no. Do you want my money or not!? OK.
I don't conceal, I don't personally carry at all, except, a pump shotgun that goes where I go, but I never carry it in a store. I don't think that would matter to me,,... if I need it, and they got it, I'll buy it. Simple and as complicated as that. If someone went crazy in a store with other people in it and some carry conceal permit holder had a gun and went blazing away to shoot the nut, innocent people could get hurt! The carry conceal instructors can see if you shoot accurately , and can safely handle a gun, but what is left out,,... is the training to know what to "do" to kill someone,,..lawfully!,,... and still be safe so that others don't get hurt! Sure a person has a right to protect himself but it is different when some thug is hurting others to know when and how to safely, (towards non targets),,... inact deadly force! Anyone who does not have a mental problem or addicted to drugs or a felony arrest record or what ever,,... can get a concealed carry permit,,... saw them advertised for $75 locally today in a paper. How many out of a hundred, that hit a bulls eye, center mass, on target, and could "accurately" shoot a person to death, really knows what is the law when you shoot a person to death, and how many would just shoot so that they could say they shot someone that was robbing a store or a bank or whatever. Nope, on that issue it don't matter, I will shop where I need to, anti or not, concealed or not,,...but I ain't no whiner, nor anti-gunner! Good luck on your project though. IMO,,.. Am I off subject here stating my opinion? If I am then so be it,:dono:twocents these are my feelings on it.
That may be the case where you live, but in Tennessee, you must attend class, pass a written exam and pass a firing range test. Not trying to provoke you here, but it's not as simple as you may think.Quote:

Live targets are frowned upon, so nobody knows the answer to that question until they're put in that situation, including law enforcement personnel and our soldiers.
Ponder this for a moment - you're in Chili's restaurant and all of a sudden some po'd boyfriend comes in with a gun looking for his GF and threatening to start shooting. Suddenly, a dozen folks have their firearms out and aimed at this guy, because Chili's is a CCW friendly restaurant. What happens next? It's definitely a crap shoot as to what he will do, but if I'm one of the people in that restaurant, I'm thinking that my chances of walking out of there alive just got better.
Not everybody can get a CHCL with only the criteria you list. If you are habitual drunk, two or three DUI...misdemeaners..public drunks...this brother will not get a CHCL. Possibly involutarily nut house rehab.
One thing for sure, a person that gets a legal carry license better put in a lot of time researching this topic. And I mean a lot of hours. Even if you shoot someone rightfully so, its possible you are going to drop 10 to 20k in lawyers fees.
I personally fill comfortable knowing that there may be others like myself carrying guns out in public.
As far as shooting someone inside a restaurant, I think I can get a head shot pretty quickly, 5 to 7 seconds. Gotta practice and practice often.
Nobody hating on you, it is your right to spend your money where you wish. If that business can't defend me, I can't patronize or trade with them.
Good post too.

I don't go to Chicago, New York, D.C. and many other places because I do not have the right to defend myself! This is ignorant and UN-AMERICAN! Anyone who owns a gun and doesn't know who to use it shouldn't carry, but this is the minute few of gun owners. Most practice regularly! Now that shotgun you carry may get more than the criminal, but a handgun is not. Stop watching movies! There is a time to engage and time not to.
Maybe someone on drugs but any sane person is not going to walk in anywhere they know their are people carring firearms,Wal-mart,post office.They are looing for places where they don,t and can not carry!!! You walk in my business un invited and you will meet Colt and Mr Taurus!!!! Thanks for the Post!!!! The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun!!!!!
Due to the rising cost of ammo warning shots will no longer be fired!!!!
I carry concealed when I carry, and that's most of the time. No business in my area, but I live in the National Forest in Northeast Michigan..
Glad I live in a "stand your ground" state.
Same here!Quote:

I know hundreds of crappie fishermen travel over several states and information like this might help them. I personally have not had a problem yet.
I'm just trying to keep Billbob out of trouble. He's getting old, that rocking chair is calling him....:popcorn
Billbob has only one bullet in his shirt pocket. Thank God!! I worry with him traveling more in the South like Fla! Heard he has been depressed ever since he got home and he missed the best of Florida.
He's traveling arounf looking for hubcaps on the side of the road.:cheers2
