I stopped back in after I was done working. Asked to speak to the manager, who was not there. Told the desk clerk about the conversations with the bosses, and to tell the manager she would be contacted about removing the sign.

--- Quote ---Greetings,
I was on a bike ride through your area and planned to stop and have coffee with my mother. Upon arrival at your store, I noticed the "No Concealed Carry/Firearms" sign in your window. I am a strong supporter of Second Amendment rights and I can not morally support a business who refuses to recognize this right. Consequently, we went to a different shop for our coffee.
I understand that your intent is to provide a safe environment for your employees and patrons. However, if you look at it logically, you have done exactly the opposite. To a criminal, the sign says "Welcome...Unarmed victims inside".
The individuals who have taken the time and expended the funds necessary to obtain a Concealed Carry Permit are some of the most law abiding citizens in our community. Furthermore, since the inception of the Concealed Carry Permit, there has been NO proof that these persons present any threat to others.
Some businesses insist that the signs are a requirement of their insurance company. If this is your situation, I would suggest changing insurance companies that have less of an anti Second Amendment mentality for one that derives their rates by logically analyzing the facts about individuals who legally carry concealed firearms. Or simply notify your current insurer that their requirement is opposite the intention of reducing crime and you are considering insuring elsewhere.
In the mean time I will post this communication on the local firearms owner's association forum and eagerly await your reply which I will also post.
Sincerely,
Greg Lamb

Dolphins Car Wash in Omaha is now posted as no concealed weapons...
If I was carrying that day I went there right after work, I would've been super pissed off. I went to get my car washed and after the kid took my car and started driving it to the wash I got out and started walking towards the door when I noticed the sign.
What the hell would they expect me to do if I was carrying? I can't leave it in the car (nor would I want to, since they have total power over it) since I already let them take it. Would they expect me to stand outside the entire time and ask the clerk to come outside to take my payment? Gee, I wonder if people would figure out why I wasn't going inside? That's just a terrible business model. They should have signs at the point where you're telling them what wash you want and if you want gas or not, not on the damn door after you've given your car to their employees and signed up for everything.
I would've just left if they didn't already have my car in the wash after I saw the sign.
I won't be going back.

KWIK shop in Elkhorn has removed their sign!
Dan W:
There is rumor that other Kwik Shops in the Lincoln area have removed the signs. I have not been to one to find out for myself. Maybe we need a firemission...
