Oh, I agree with you about patronizing stores that are either pro or neutral
on the gun issue.  One particular chain that irks me, though, is Wally World.
The WalMart closest to me is posted, on one door anyway, and one which I
don't use  :-), while the next closest one isn't.  Grrrr!  Yet Sam's Club
(the warehouse side of WalMart) is neutral to pro.  I actually had one of the
check-out guys ask me how I liked my Galco Escort fanny pack that my Sig 226
resides in as I was leaving the store.  Was very refreshing, I must say.  :-)
