From another forum:

"""""""emailed my question to Bev Akada in Costco’s corporate communications office.

Her assistant replied:


Hi Max,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Costco’s policy prohibits weapons within our buildings.

All the best,

Toby you took the words right out of my mouth.

I agree with the "no guns, no money" mantra, but let's note conflate this with the Second Amendment. Private property owners are free to prohibit weapons and we are free to shop elsewhere.

Exactly.  I have no problem if people choose to bring their dollars elsewhere.  That's a fundamental right.  I believe there's room in our society for people with differing values.  If the marketplace supports their position, then they will succeed.  For me, the value provided by Costco overrides the marginal risk i incur by shopping unarmed.

All we need to do is get 'gun owners' recognized as a minority group...

In most states, a no gun sign is enforceable...some could result in criminal charges & others don't...I did a little research & found that in Florida the signs aren't legally enforceable under their CHL provisions....

However stores  aren't allowed to refuse service based on how someone is dressed, their religion, sexual orientation, skin color, age, or even how stinky a person is without being labeled as being in the wrong....or sued by the ACLU!

I personally don't fully agree with the stores rights argument...what about the rights of the individual? And why is it ok to make stores comply with thousands of regulations, tax codes, required signage for other things, no smoking in their store, right to refuse service, etc.....but guns is where it flips back to 'store owners rights'....

Either way I won't be going to Costco ever again & they are building a New Sams Location on 72nd & Cornhusker so....carry on!
