In addition to adding armed guards, they are reversing their “no carry” policy. The Kansas City store had already removed their no-carry signage this weekend.

The prettiest piece of glass in the whole store is the 10 square inches where the no-carry sign used to be!  It’s a noticeably empty spot, next to a row of other “no” signs for smoking, outside food/drink, pets, etc.

Stop by and show them some love, either via their website or Facebook Page.

2. Grassley/Cruz amendment (alternative);
3. Leahy amendment #713 (trafficking);
4. Cornyn amendment #719 (concealed carry);
5. Feinstein amendment #711 (assault weapons ban);
6. Burr amendment #720 (veterans);
7. Lautenberg amendment #714 (high capacity magazines);
8. Barrasso amendment #717 (privacy); and
9. Harkin amendment (mental health).

It appears that Ayotte, Baucus, Begich, Heitkamp, Landrieu, and Pryor are the undecided votes. If these are your senators, please contact them and urge them to oppose any new gun control bills or amendments.

Senators that voted “yea” are responsible for allowing S. 649 to move forward which if passed, will require a background check for every firearm sale, creating a defacto national gun registry, and will eliminate private sales and transfers of firearms.

Robert Hohmeier, owner of Hohmeier Auto Body welcomes gun owners with open arms. Or, he would if St. Louis allowed Open Carry.  There’s a pre-emption bill on the slate this legislative session for MO that will prevent localities like St. Louis from passing ordinances contrary to state law (which allows Open Carry). For now, he encourages his customers to feel free to carry their concealed firearms into his shop with a prominent sign on his office wall, and he offers a discount to those that show their CCW permit. If the preemption bill passes, all forms of carry will be welcomed and encouraged.

First up on the pedestal is ALDI.  I don’t believe there was a corporate policy until recently, which previously led to local managers creating their own. Now they follow state law regarding carry in their stores.  If you have an ALDI nearby, stop in and show your appreciation for the new policy by becoming a new customer. Stop by their Facebook page and leave a positive comment as well.
