There are businesses which have signs that prohibit concealed carry in their stores. In Ohio they boycot businesses which chose to discriminate against CPL holders, we should do the same?
MCRGO has been active in discouraging “no gun” rules, ever since July 1, 2001, when the new CPL went into effect. The usual procedure is first to talk with the manager of the business, pointing out that a CPL licensee has gone through a rather intense vetting before he obtains his license — and ask the manager how many of his customers are as certifiably law-abiding. Failing that, send some photos of the signs to the MCRGO office manager so that this banning can be publicized. Sometimes one of our attorneys writes a polite letter to the establishment. In most instances that I know of in Michigan, the organization has backed off from banning CPL licensees. We have never gone to a full-blown boycott, and I personally don’t think we should, as an owner of a private establishment has the legal right to ban guns if he wishes, or to prohibit bare feet, etc.
