A comment was made that a common response about why businesses post their premises is that they do it to lower insurance costs. Yet, if that is true, why don't more businesses post? I mean think about it. Wal-Mart is the 2-ton, rabid gorilla of cost-cutting – no posting is the corporate policy. Best Buy takes all kinds of flack about being cheap and holding down prices by hiring low-cost hourly employees – but they don’t post. McDonald's has hundreds of thousands of minimum wage employees so we know they care about costs – yet, no signs I ever saw. So if the cost is measurable, WHY DON'T THESE PLACES POST?
Now, maybe you’re thinking, "Well, Ed, they are just smart enough not to offend the gun-toting public." Even forgetting for a moment how many millions of people insist these companies are only looking out for themselves. Is it just possible that they think not enough people care?
Why don't you (and 10,000 of your closest friends of course) consider making it clear that some people DO care? I don't mean picket lines, protestors and such, just send a letter in asking them to prove why they post? Letters to them, the paper, the TV channel, talk radio shows, etc.?
Personally, I believe the insurance line is just a deflection because they don’t want to admit to being scared &^%less of guns or they hope to keep anti-activists off their backs. BUT, it just might be that there are some rational people out there, especially this week, who are willing to start saying “enough is enough.”
Drop them a line...or two...or three even. Send one or two (million) to Cooper Anderson, Bill Riley, Neal Bortz (s?), etc. asking, "WHY?"
