I just asked my wife. "Hypothetical situation. You have a fistfull of money. Would you rather go to Clark Brother (local gun shop) for Jarred's?" She replied "CLARK BROTHERS! I can get jewlery at Wal-Mart!" without a bit of hesitation. 
I can pick 'em.
As for their signs, they have the right to post their property. It's private property after all. I have the right to shop someplace else.

I sent them a smoking email, reminding them how many NRA members there are and how this message is being spread all over the internet. Also reminded them that they ought to check with their legal dept. as anyone can now file suit if their policy results in a customer being robbed or injured, not to mention that said policy moves them to the top of the bad guys list of potential targets.

Text of email I just sent to them:
I am currently in the market for a gift for my fiancee for our upcoming wedding. However, it has recently come to my attention that Jared has a policy banning individuals from carrying firearms into their stores -- even if these weapons are carried legally in accordance with a state-issued concealed carry permit.
If this is indeed Jared's policy, then I will have to remove Jared from the list of jewelry stores that I regularly patronize. Certainly, no one carrying a firearm with malicious intent will be deterred from such a policy, but instead, ordinary law-abiding citizens who are respectful of such requests will be the only ones penalized. And, in this case, the potential penalty (-ies) for complying with such a policy -- risking grievous bodily harm and/or death -- are far too high to contemplate.
Please clarify your policy to me at your earliest possible convenience.
Very truly yours,
[JKP1187]

Enough businesses have begun posting these signs at a corporate level that I'm suspecting agitators in the mix.
My conjecture, which if I dug around enough is likely to be bourne out, would be that corporate offices are being visited by agents, probably backed by the shadowy liberal foundations, bearing tales of liability and woe for failure to post these signs.

Jareds
The Jareds in Webster, Texas has a revolver buster sign with some silly verbiage. It is not anywhere near 30.06 compliant. When I purchased my wife's 30th anniversary diamond ring, I chatted with the armed security guy while they worked on the ring. Had my Kimber Pro CDP on my hip the whole time.

Do you think the gun shows you all attend are the same.
As I have posted on this subject before http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=207212&highlight=30.06+show
I will ask again, why do y'all give gun shows a pass?

Well, apparently they're not responding with form letters. Here's the response I just got.
I feel like I've just been threatened!

Yep, I'm Nevada too. Don't recall whether I gave them that tidbit of info when I sent the e-mail, though.
Ah well, no matter. I don't expect to be darkening their doorways anytime soon...

Not a jewelry person and neither is my wife. But will help to spread th word on Jared's policy. I'm also in Nevada and they don't have a clue. Wonder what the settlement would cost them for false arrest? Oh wait, that's right. They can't have me arrested. They don't get to make up the law.

Sounds like Jared's corporate attorneys need an education in the law.
I certainly will not be shopping there in future. Blue Nile is just fine, I think, and they certainly won't hassle me about guns!
Free shipping and 30-day return policy, too.
EDIT:
Looks like they are sending a form letter....

Edit: Here is my reply:
Dear Ms. Myers,
Thank you for your rather swift reply. And thank you for not beating around the bush and letting us know in no uncertain terms what Jared's policy really is. I will now make it my duty to let every law-abiding citizen know your policy on firearms. Likely, the vast majority of the CCW holders will not trust their lives and the lives of their loved ones to your "extensively trained" security guards. Therefore we will continue our patronage to jewelers that are more 2nd Amendment friendly and not so eager to put their customers lives at risk. In other words, don't worry about us darkening your door as we will be taking our money elsewhere.

Yes they are. It is the exact letter I received from Ms Myers. She will get a reply from me.

Looks to me that she is implying that CCW holders have not gone through extensive training and background checks (or at least not as rigorous as their security guards).

If you must buy jewelry...
...I highly recommend bluenile.com
I've bought my wife's engagement ring, our wedding bands, and a few other things there the past few years.
Great prices, outstanding service, no dealing w/ bs from a salesman, ship to a local fedex location to keep the gift a secret if you want.

Has anyone tried to inform them that they can't just have anyone they want arrested if they aren't breaking any laws?
Any way to get these threats (made by Jared employees) into the media, whether it be national or local?
I think this email campaign needs to be spread to various other forums so we can hit them hard.

If a woman can sue a store for not letting her breast feed, it would also seem to apply with firearms. It's like a store saying it does not allow men with brown shoes. What legal rights the state or feds grant should be applied equally.

You can count me in as another one who sent in a letter stating that I will not patronize their establishments. I also made it a point to turn away any potential customers that I come across as part of my efforts to boycott their stores.
