Just so no one else waste's a trip like I did.
Went there to have some tires put on my wife's car, saw a no CC on door. I wonder, if the fact that customers can't even leave their guns in the car because the car will be entering the building, even crosses the owners mind?

Did the sign really say no concealed carry? Or was it a no guns sign?
If the former, just open carry. That's what I would do.

They have a facebook page...let 'em know how you feel and let them know they lost a sale.

Then again, they may not care, but that will make two of you that do not care if they lost a sale.....lol

Good suggestions, Alan. I did that a couple times at a gas station, they eventually took their sign down banning concealed carry.

Back before Virginia changed it's law WRT concealed carry in restaurants the VCDL would have meet and greets at restaurants and all would open carry.
They would sue any LEO organizations that arrested them or hassled them.
There was one Sheriff that sent an email to another Sheriff that had done this saying, "I hope you've got insurance, you'll need it."
VCDL has been winning law suits longer than OFCC.

BTW - A group of them were in a restaurant when several hooded individuals entered, looked around at all the armed customers, and promptly left. Undocumented DGU.

Better strategy is to buy your stuff elsewhere, and then go on a pretense visit to the other place and keep going up the food chain until you get to somebody high enough in management give a rat's a** about a lost sale. Make a photocopy of the receipt, and drop it on their desk, with a note written on it - "this sale went elsewhere ONLY because of your no-carry policy".

Enough of those come in the door, and folks who care about the bottom line start noticing.

I've went the receipt route many a time and the facebook route also , just to bring up the issue.

No matter how one chooses to point out their policy and your dislike and lose of patronage, if enough people complain, who knows , they may change their policy or they may not.
