Why? If Costco doesn't want guns in their stores it's their business. I've seen many a freeper bitch and moan about the nonsmoking laws in restaurants and the rallying cry that the restaurant is a private business and no one has the right to tell them how to run it.

Don't see how this is any different. If the guy doesn't like it maybe he should try to buy a ton of voting stock and change the rules. Other than that the guy sounds like a friggin liberal troublemaker.

Indeed. Much the same as the common sign "No shoes, no shirt, no service."

Most Freepers laud the military's ban on gays, but bemoan Costco for making a decision to ban firearms on their premises?

He voted with his wallet. He is allowing other CCW holders to vote with their wallets. The policy did not seem to be publicy posted.

First of all, the guy is not calling for legally forcing Costco to allow weapons in their store.

He is asking they make the policy publicly-known. And is boycotting the store for their policy and requesting that others join him.

Which is more than fair. As opposed to your attempts to slime him as a liberal.

They used to say the same thing about blacks. I don't think stores have the right to curtail our civil rights, which carrying a gun is.

Did you read this?

It seems he was very polite and said that costco was absolutly free to do as they did and HE was equally free to not shop there.

Free enterprise.

I don't think costco is really threatened that much, but then again costco's support of democrats is not very endearing either.

I agree. This isn't a government policy, it's a private business. He obviously didn't conceal too well. Every COSTCO, I have been to has a sign out front, he obviously didn't see one, and didn't conceal. Their policy is no guns, and he violated it. If he doesn't like this business, he can go to another. I actually don't care. Some people do. They are free to shop somewhere else. They can go to Sam's and get crappier meat and hold onto their guns while they are checking out the 24 roll pack of toilet paper. It's capitalism.
