Roper:
Schaffers in Lincoln is posted.  Stopped by there tonight as our refridgerator kicked the bucket - very motivated buyer and would like to support local businesses when possible.  Their sign is prominently posted at the door, so I went back to the car and secured my firearm.  Went in and asked for the owner, he wasn't there.  Told the sales person about our situation and that we are buying a new appliance, but not from them.  She was really disappointed, said that she agreed with my view but that there was nothing she could do about.  She said that she wasn't sure why the owner posted it, but said that this wasn't the first time this has happened.  I asked her to tell the owner - maybe he can explain why his policy is taking money out of her pocket!   >:(

I don't know for sure if Ron Romero (the guy who does their TV commercials)  is the actual owner of Schaeffer's.  I think he is, at least a partial owner.  I'll try to find out, though.  He was a high school friend and poker playing buddy of mine many years ago.  Even if he's not in control, maybe he can enlighten me as to the reason they have posted.  I, too, am disappointed, as Schaffer's was otherwise a pretty good, and convenient for me, place to do business.  If he is in charge, or at least has any influence on the matter, maybe I can convince him to take them down (like our theatres did).

long story, very short, "The Matt" http://www.themattomaha.com/ is not gun friendly.  I called last Saturday to ask some general questions. I then asked if they had a no guns policy.  To which the pantie wearing liberal said "why would you carry a gun."  Technically because they serve alcohol they may be on the restricted list anyway. I didn't want to drive across town, walk 3 blocks and then have to walk back to the jeep just to secure my gun, so I thought I'd ask.

armed and humorous:
As promised, I emailed Ron Romero of Schaeffer's TV and Appliance, to question why the business is posted.  I got an email back from Ron today saying he was out of town for the week, but that he was going to have a response for me once he got back and had a chance to meet with his team.  To me, this sounded like he at least was willing to discuss the matter.  That being the case, I offered him this for the team to ponder:

Since you are meeting with your team, and presumably will discuss the matter of posting the store against guns, I?d like to offer this for everyone to mull over:

There is virtually no risk from allowing Concealed Handgun Permit holders into your store.  Statistically, CHP holders are less likely to commit a crime than law enforcement officers are.  They have all demonstrated that they can handle guns safely and proficiently, and the last thing they want to do is draw attention to themselves or to cause others who may be fearful of guns to have any reason for concern.  Those who come into your store carrying despite your posting against it, pose a great risk.  Though we don?t want, or look for, a reason to use our handguns, most of us are prepared and willing to defend ourselves and other innocent people should the need arise.  If anything, for safety?s sake, you should welcome CHP holders into your establishment.


I'll let you know when I hear anything.

jdaffer, I have had lunch at The Matt a couple of time, did not see any no guns signs.  But the establishment really seems to turn more into a bar after the lunch crowd.  My guess they would get more than 50% from alcohol...

May be an excuse to go have lunch there again and check it out.
