I am asking for a general FAC boycott until they remove the signs that they have posted. It is Just plain BS that they are stupid enough and anti-gun enough to think that a sign is going to stop a criminal from bringing a gun onto their property. If they are allowed to perpetuate this mindset, then one day we might be banned from carrying our CCW's anywhere except on our own property.

What do you think?

I've talked to a number of storefront FFLs about this, and most share experiences of people unholstering CCW firearms to "show to someone" and handling the firearm irresponsibly (lack of muzzle discipline), or of actual non-tragic NDs.

IMhO, and in the anti-gun litigation environment we are in right now, even non-tragic accidents are a way for an activist group to step in with the lawyers, promise someone that they have the right to be a millionaire from having their ears jarred by the muzzle blast from a ND; that doesn't even get into the liabilty potential for an actual injury or death.

The gun control lobby has shifted its attack from the legislature to the courtroom in attempts to sue the RKBA into history, and that makes the debate a bit more complicated. Every accident; every ND is an opportunity for the Anti-gun extremists to sue another dealer into oblivion.

So, yes, in principle, I'm in agreement with no bans whatsoever on CCW (including the CCW laws themselves), but that's not to say that I don't sympathise with the storefront FFL retailer/distributor.
