I don't want all of society armed eithet, but I want law abiding citizens to have the CHOICE to defend themselves if they choose.

I believe it was Samuel Colt who called the gun the great equalizer.

It's essentially the one thing that can allow a 100 pound woman prevent a 250 pound muscle man from raping her.

It's something that can prevent a criminal breaking into your home from killing your family.

It can even be used in a store to keep you safe from the armed thug who believs $120 is worth more than human life.

Be more overly dramatic.

Gun fondlers are so irrational.

With onlly .001% of the 400 million guns in the US being used for any nefarious purpose, only the irrational want to ban the rest.

Imagine if we applied the gun-grabber logic to things like cars, alchohol, prescription dugs, tools, knives, swimming pools, stairs, etc

I bet more penises are used for crimes than guns.

Nothing to ask, in the State of Texas proper legal signage is required, if it is not present, then there is nothing illegal about someone carrying onto their property. In this case legality and corp policy are two independent items. Given a lack of legal signage, if corp policy is to not allow carry and someone carrying is asked to leave due to this corp policy, then the person carrying has received legal notice and is obliged to leave.

Is that a Smith & Wesson Airweight Centennial Model .38 stoked with 158 grain lead semi-wadcutter hollow-points in your pocket? Or are you just glad to see me?

This was so over the top that it actually made me realize how much more dangerous shopping is over there as it also means cops and other first responders with a gun are told that they are not welcome with their gun.

Felons and other crooks, do not care about stickers.

The amount and size of the stickers made me think if Sprouts doesn’t like cops as we do not have a open carry County/State and only cops can be seen with openly carry a gun.

No other store in the area has anything like this.

Thanks Sprouts, I rather support our sheriff’s department and have cops shop and enter with their gun to pick up lunch. I do not carry my gun around, like many like me don’t walk around with guns, but own guns.

Don’t expect cops to come in and help when something bad is happening, as the sticker is clear...no guns so the cops have to walk in without guns and talk to the person to drop their gun
Bye Bye. We will not miss you.

Yes, I’m very sure that sprouts is missing you gun rubbers. The have doubled their sales in the last 5 yeas to over 1.5 billion. Don’t worry, you can still get pork rinds and bud light at am/pm.

HEB is where we shop around for food. There is no Safeway in these regions, I have no taste for Buffalo wings, and do quite well by Wally World's day old bread.

As far as movie theaters go, well, they rather burned that bridge with me decades ago with how they treated the customer.

HEB is 2nd amendment friendly! I have not been to those other places in ages. I have bought local small business exclusively for over a decade. Last time I was in a Movie theater was with my daughter to see Wall-E, when ever that came out. Had to be 12-14 years ago. My daughter is 22 now.

Look what happens in Asia or Europe. Guns are banned and few citizens own them. They have knife massacres. People will find a way to kill with whatever tool is available. Instead of targeting guns, target aggressive behavior. The ER I work in has a police officer. If you start to threaten people or assault someone you get kicked out. Zero tolerance on violence.
