Title: Nike
Post by: backupr9 on July 03, 2019, 10:35:47 AM: Nike, having first sipped the progressive “woke” Kool Aid courtesy of Mr. Kaepernitwit, has now OD’d on it, capitulating to the specious historical arguments in support of “politically correct” disdain for our nation’s flag. My family will no longer purchase Nike branded products. Mr. Kaepernick meanwhile would seem to have found his proper calling in emulating Jesse Jackson’s agitprop style.

No Levis.
No Nike.
No Dicks sporting goods.
Left BOA after almost 40 years.
No Costco.
Never will join AARP.
.........and the list gets longer all the time.

Why no Costco?

Quote
Costco does not believe that it is necessary for firearms to be brought into its warehouse stores, except in the case of authorized law enforcement officers. For the protection of all our members and employees, we feel this is a reasonable and prudent precaution to ensure a pleasant shopping experience and safe workplace.

This, and the underlying sentiment behind it.

They would not do a simple notary public for me. So, I walked next door to Wells Fargo for my first visit with no account there and they were most helpful and gracious with their notary.

However one company has made a statement :)

And at $50 not a bad deal either.

Post by: tracker on July 04, 2019, 12:17:49 PM: It is interesting that both BofA and Costco here do not post the requisite Texas Penal Code 30.06 and/or 30.07 prohibiting guns on their premises. Technically, they cannot ban carry weapons without those signs as I am sure you are aware. But, the implicit anti gun philosophy is very evident in both institutions. Some carry states prohibit carry in banks among other things.

Good news is that HB 121 passed and got signed by the governor.

Now if we are discovered accidentally carrying in a place that has posted signs we can immediately leave and have a solid legal defense against prosecution for it.

Probably due to 1911 already being taken. (https://cdn-w.eccie.net/images/smilies/modern/cheers.gif)
