Took my odyssey for service today. After checking in I walked to the showroom and saw the sign.
I informed the service staff of my disapproval and that I would no longer be doing business there. I stressed that I support their right as a private business to have the policy, but that I disagreed with it so strongly that I could not continue to do business with them.
Service staff was very nice. Said they did not care about or enforce the sign. Said it was mandated by corporate.
I also sent an email to the business stating my position firmly but politely.
This is the email I sent
"I purchased a 2012 odyssey from the Hickory Honda location last year. Today I brought it in for 10K service and an inspection. I noticed the no concealed weapons sign.
While I support your right as a private business to have this policy, I strongly disagree with it to the point that I will no longer be doing business with your company until this policy changes.
No weapon zones are human hunting preserves. Only the lawful obey those signs. A killer will actually seek out these areas so as to have less resistance.
In the current political environment where our leaders use tragedies to advance their agendas I cannot support businesses with these signs.
I would think with Hendrick's background in racing, your company would be more sensitive to the pro-second amendment sentiments of most of your fans.
Please do not reply to me with explanations talking of Safety. That argument is ridiculous and has no basis in fact or statistical occurrence."
If anyone else lives in the area or anywhere near a Hendrick dealership (they have multiple brands) or is a fan of the Hendrick racing organization you can contact them with the following link.

Has anyone noticed these signs at other Hendrick dealerships?
