30.06 Locations Listings - Running database
Posted: Thu Aug 05, 2010 4:56 am
I was thinking perhaps it would be helpful to start a section on the forum -- and I apologize if there already is one that I have not yet located -- that would allow members of the forum to post information regarding locations restricting our right to carry through posting of the 30.06 sign. It seems like it would be nice to have a general awareness of places where others have run across the sign for a couple of reasons...
1) It would make it that much more likely that having seen a reference to the location would jog the memory prior to entering the building (a safety net for those moments where a distraction might affect our sight of the sign)..
2) It would allow members of the forum to make advance choices as to their shopping (etc) preferences where restrictions are concerned. For example, it would be nice to know that a particular mall refuses CHL holders to carry their weapon on the premises -- while that choice is arguably theirs to make - the choice to patronize their business is ours and it would be simpler to know in advance to choose another merchant's location. My point is that if we know in advance we can choose to decide to shop somewhere that honors our rights as opposed to settling for someplace that doesn't. The advance knowledge would prevent wasted time, fuel, money, aggravation, and potential disagreements with a spouse or significant other who might think the ability to get in more shopping time is preferential over the matter of patronage of locations that refuse to honor our rights.
If there were just a running database or posting so that any time each of us encounters such a location - we could post the information for other board members to see.. and perhaps keep a running database in our emails or smart phones.... Knowledge is always a good thing... If this information already is here - or if the information is available somewhere else already - perhaps someone could point me in the right direction...
Thanks,
