This sign was at every National Park that I was at over the last week. I took this picture at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center. And I never saw an armed officer or Ranger. They may have been around, but I didn't see them.

Yes its true you have the right to do business with whomever you choose. As me and my family, we will not do business with anyone who puts up this sign. If that means growing my own food, well I have the land to do so. For the people on this sight that think you live in a safe neighborhood and do not need to carry, tell that to the many who have died in so called safe neighborhoods. It only takes one idiot on any given day, this isn't the 1950s.

If one can't carry concealed, wonder if they'd get excited if I walked in with an AR 10 over my shoulder? Better make sure it's one of these in 30-06... http://www.onlylongrange.com/bn36.asp...the sign clearly reads "Pursuant to section 30.06..."!

As a couple others have, I dropped a message to Sprouts and here is the response I received... Dear -,
Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas about our decision to prohibit firearms in our stores. Please understand that we recognize and respect our customers’ rights under the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, a right that prohibits the government (but not private retailers) from infringing on citizens’ right to bear arms.
That right, however, must be balanced with our need as a retailer to address concerns of a majority of our customers and team members. That's why, after careful and thoughtful analysis, we have decided to prohibit our customers and our team members from bringing firearms onto our store premises.
While this decision may disappoint some of our valued customers, such as yourself, we stand by our decision and have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from our communities about it.
Sincerely,
Raquel
Customer Relation Specialist

Well there is no sign saying you cant walk in with a TEC-9 under your NBA starters jacket either the sign only discriminates against "license holders" where is the ACLU when you need them? Concho I plan to use the phrase Lame Stream now, I love that!
