I knew about many of these, and have withdrawn my support, voting with my pocketbook. I notice that back in 2018 Dick’s Sporting Goods was not on the list. Let’s update the list and add those who have betrayed the Second Amendment since then.
When it comes to gun-free zones in Alabama where I live, a private business can post itself as gun-free, but as such does not have the force of law. I will avoid such places if possible. If necessary, however, being a concealed carrier, I will enter, do whatever business I came to transact, and leave with no one the wiser. Since I’ve never been a fan of crowds in the past, avoiding such venues as movie theaters, most sporting events, concerts, rallies, etc., is no hardship for me.
