Man Threatens to Sue over Ladies Night at Range
RLMoeller:
I'm surprised at some of the negative remarks I've heard (mostly Facebook) about the Ladies Night at that range. It's basic marketing. The range knows that there are many women gun owners, and yet they aren't visiting. So you make a promotion to get folks you want as customers to come through the door. It's not sexist. It's not discrimination. It's good business.
Some of the ranges in the Omaha area have been getting creative with promotions with date nights and such. It's just good marketing. Why a date night? Because there are folks that hadn't thought about going to the range as a couples activity. So you plant the seed that it can be. Isn't that the case with every promotion?

The only problem I have with it is the double standard: it's ok to give women special treatment but not men. I say get government entirely out of social engineering. But as long as they are going to do it then treat all of us equally. I should sue the gym I used to go to for having a women's only weight room.

Huh? How is government involved in a PRIVATE business offering the discussed promotion? It certainly will become involved by FORCING this PRIVATE business or others to do away with such marketing ideas.
CC:
How is government involved? The threat of lawsuit is based on CA law. Other cities also have non-discrimination ordinances that prohibit among other things, gender discrimination.
The government has made discrimination by businesses on the basis of race, gender, etc. illegal. So, this is how government is involved.
Think of the bakers ruined because they wouldn't bake a same sex marriage cake.

This!
There should be no surprise seeing negative comments about this issue. People have been so dumbed down that they no longer know what is a right and what isn't. They also think that our rights come from the government!
