So, while we understand the heartfelt and strongly-held opinions on both sides of the gun debate, it is with the safety and security of our employees and customers in mind that we respectfully ask people not to bring firearms into our stores, offices or facilities, even in states where it’s permitted by law.

From the letter:
“Recently, we had an incident in one of our stores where a gun inadvertently went off, injuring the customer who was carrying it.”
NOW Levi Strauss is acting like a bunch of Dick’s! That is, like Dick’s Sporting Goods, if you recall.
That jeans company has been anti 2nd for a long time. Now they’ve upped the ante by helping the antis. I probably haven’t bought their product in over 20 years.
“Come rob us at every turn! We’re total bitches now”.
I go nowhere where it is reasonably printed I cannot carry my piece; I am for private property rights. However, just a company saying “nope, no gunz” doesn’t always mean I got their memo. Just like the Casino’s over here in my neck of the woods, the most they can do even if they detect I am carrying is ask me to leave and I have to comply immediately. Otherwise its a trespass and some bullshit fines.
Levi’s is gonna find we CCW folk are going to find some great smaller shops online that were typically outside our reach. Those smaller shops if they were smart would cater to gun owners; they would find explosive growth in the NRA and gun community.
