Maybe this is already common knowledge, but it shocked me this weekend to learn that Costco has a company- wide policy that no firearms are allowed in their stores. I called and spoke at length with a manager about this policy, and he stated that corporate believed it to be for the "safety and comfort of the customers."
My questions are:
Will the customers feel "safe" knowing that only people willing to violate store policy (e.g., bad guys) will be armed in the store?
And...
Does it make the customers "comfortable" knowing that the only thing between them and the bad guys is a strongly worded sign?
Then I thought of a couple more...
Is your store assuming responsibility for the safety and protection of all customers?
And...
Do the basic human/American rights end at Costco's doors?
And...more of a statement...
If you believe a sign will keep all the guns out, that must be one hell of a sign!
I plan on writing a well-crafted letter to Costco executive management, combined with a request to cancel my membership. Please spread the word. Just as they have the right to run their "club" however they wish, we also have the right to shop wherever we wish. Let this business die as a result of this anti-2A philosophy.
As for me and my family, we will not give another cent to Costco until this policy is reversed.
