I am not an attorney either, but I believe in some states it is state law that you are not permitted to carry a concelaed weapon anywhere there is a sign stating no firearms allowed. This would be considered a violation and you would lose you permit. I would rather shop at Walmart anyway, but I sent corporate at Toys-R-Us letting them know I would no longer be shopping there.

Nebraska enforces signs. They even have a recommended placard if you want to place your business off limits. So yes, it can be enforcable by law (some places).

When it comes to the safety of myself and my family, if Papa can't carry, the family don't patronize. Good-Bye, TRU.

Dear T.R.U.,
It has recently come to my attention that all of your stores, nationwide, have now become a safety risk. I am referring to the newly instated anti-gun policy. I can no longer feel safe inside your stores due to the lack of security. Cameras do not stop criminals, but only records them. I do not rely on stores to make me safe, that is why I carry my own "safety". However, because of your new policy, I have now become a defenseless victim. If you are going to enforce this policy, I suggest you should hire an armed guard. Or on an economical, and logical stand point, you could just leave it to those who prefer to protect themselves by their own means. But I see that you have this warm feeling thinking that you have created a "Safe-Zone", when actually, you have created what some call a "Funnel of Death". Now, it makes me feel warm inside to know that you either; A. Don't care about the vulnerability you have created which could end in certain death, or B. You have no logic, you lack the mental capacity to understand such a simple concept, or simply a moron, and therefore, the implementer of this policy must be a Democrat.
Yours Truly,
Somebody who cares.

LOL ya around 12k is correct. I'm a controller for a Higher end Hotel Chain in my region. (So I can authorize the folks to only purchase from certain stores )
We buy a lot of items for VIP guests and their kids, party items, buy x-mas gifts most years for employees kids (nothing huge but it all adds up), etc. Some years its more others it is less.

It's just an opinion, and you know how those are. But I feel that getting loud when asked to leave due to OC does the cause no good. Nor does ranting about political parties when discussing 2nd Amendment Rights with others. When you have the opportunity to educate others remember that your demeanor reflects on us all. We don't need people reinforcing stereotypes.
I was once challenged while OCing in a Food Lion grocery store by a somewhat belligerent manager and by her security guard. I poured on the syrupy sweet respectfulness (Yes mam. No mam. I understand, mam.) while still educating them about the Food Lion corporate policy and rather than leaving, which I told her I would certainly do, I wound up staying and shopping and having a conversation with the guard about his duty weapon (he was carrying a Glock 22, I was carrying a 23). Never had another problem with her when carrying. Sometimes it's better for the cause to swallow the bile and pour on the sugar, and comply respectfully while still educating. That's how we can best make people comfortable again about OC.

I'll join in on this, after holiday shopping.
As Snakum mentioned, I'll be sure to be my usual polite self, even though this sorely disappoints me. I had been looking forward to shopping there for Christmas.
I plan on starting off the letter with a copy of my receipt from a competitor, stating that I wanted to spend it at TRU, but couldn't due to their policy. I'll explain that it isn't that I feel unsafe in their store, but that violent crime can happen anywhere - their store, their parking lot, the gas station I'll stop at on the way home, my own driveway - and as such I've made it a habit to carry all the time. I'll explain that a big reason I carry is to protect the very kids for whom I bought all the toys. I'll let them know my friends and family who carry have likewise shopped elsewhere, and that I've encouraged countless others on online firearms-related forums to shop elsewhere. I'll conclude by thanking them for their time, with the hope that they reverse the policy, so that I may once again patronize their stores.

Are you downstate? Otherwise, pretty much every county issues permits, they just make you go through varying levels of red tape to get one.Pictures said:

I'm not going to advise you to ignore the judge's preference, especially because in NY a judge can revoke your permit at any time without any reason.Pictures said:
However, as I believe Onondaga does issue pistol permits, I'm going to point out:
In NYS (excepting NYC and Suffolk and Nassau counties), a permit to own a handgun is a permit to carry a handgun concealed. Period. Although they might state "Hunting and Target Only" or something similar, that "restriction" does not carry weight of law. It is a judge's preference, and only a judge's preference.
If you have a permit with one of these bogus restrictions and are truly wanting to carry to defend yourself, you probably should review the law closely and/or seek legal counsel.
P.S. Sorry about the misquote before. I accidentally placed my own text in your quote. Its fixed now.
P.P.S. Sorry to everyone about getting sidetracked from the focus of this thread, but I considered this important information. Its something that I think is important to be shared with many, not just one person, hence my choice not to PM.
