My understanding is that a manager that is no longer there, put up a sign near the costumer service desk. She had seen open carriers in the store and being from Illinois I think she was supper nervous about it, even when told it was legal. I was told she wanted to put up no gun signs and several employees told her it wasn't a good idea. The sign was put up after I stopped shopping there and a few weeks after a fellow carrier was kicked out of a different Farm and Fleet.........

If the manager was from Illinois, not being exposed to firearms with the no right to carry there, it is understandable why she thought that a no gun policy was common business practice.

Guns are part of the the culture in the areas of Wisconsin where F&F has most of its stores, this is the likely reason for little or no reaction in those stores where we have openly carried.

Keep up the chatter on the F&F Facebook wall. Stay organized, speak articulately & don't get suckered into ******* matches with the liberty-hating anti's. All three of them. :)

Agreed, just posted some more things for the anti's to squeel over.
It's kind of like shooting fish in a barrel, to easy. Oh wait no guns.
OK, it's like poking a hippie with a sharp stick, oh wait I have long hair and like peace signs.
Sorry, back to shooting fish in a barrel.

James smithers is a troll made just for this argument. If you look at their profile, the only thing they have is "like" for F&F.

The FB page has settled down a bit. Looks like the anti's have nothing else to add. This might be a good time to ask F&F once more to change their policy to follow state law. I also must give them credit for not censoring their FB page.

I believe Nik was waiting to hear back from them after the Holidays. If I remember the guy he spoke with was going to take it before the "board."

Thats a good point Johnny, I have to give them credit for not killing the page as well. I hate anti-rights people, but I can have some respect for the ones that don't run away from the topic.

I see that a lady is thanking F&F for having the bike she bought for her for her child. This brings up a conduct rule we should adhere to, MAKE NO COMMENT to F&F customers that do not identify themself as an anti. No need to get into a piz...g battle with the antis off of a customer's thank you.

That's some good common sense right there.

I know there was a thread about Farm and Fleet being anti but, I have never seen Farm and fleet posted before. I heard that they had a sign inside the store and when I looked I couldn't find it. Stopped over today and I almost missed this as its posted on the inner doors and not well marked.

I still didn't see a metal detector so I'm unsure of how they are going to enforce this policy with criminals :uhoh:. I'm going to assume Farm and Fleet is guaranteeing my safety since they have a "Weapons free Environment/Customers".

They posted a sign. How about we all print out a "No Guns = No Money Card" and give one to the owner/manager of the establishment that has the signage."

Just an Idea!

Interesting turn of events.
F&F just posted they will not tolerate threats or profanity on their FB page and then proceded to remove anti-gunner Nancy's over the top rant. Good for them.
Clearly they are paying attention to the chatter on their FB page.

Could anyone PM me what she wrote? She blocked me on FB along with Judith so I don't see anything the write on there anymore.

I would love to but it was deleted. She accused us of sympathyzing with the shooter in AZ today and wanted to know why the F**k none of us had posted on the FB page created for the victims of todays shootings. Also she said the carry laws made it easier for the shooter to have a gun. It was quite the rant.

It was a real gem. The nice thing is we know F&F is paying attention and we wern't the ones to get our hands slapped.

Yeah, Ill give them an A for not just deleting all of our posts. I am however in favor of them deleting any posts on either side that are vulgar or violent. We however don't stoop to their level.

I also was surprised for their no delete. However my good friend Dan Beery has been blocked by Nancy and Judith also. I never got remotely nasty with either.

I never got nasty with either of them also. I think I just had a tactful comeback with facts and logic when they said something to me. They didn't get their way so they took their ball and went home and now they wont play with me anymore.
