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 forgot to add at the bottom of the sign: Brought to you by the politically correct left.

if they're so damn weapons free why do they sell ammo and related items?

That sign is a warning sign to shop elsewhere. I am putting a letter together to send to corporate.

I'll make up a new sign for them:

Policy
defense free environment/criminals

we dont respect your right to carry a firearm, even though your law abiding. however this place is a leftist politically correct defense free environment. so we ask you to keep your gun in your car- where it's of no use to you while you spend your money in our store, cause all we give a damn about is your money, not your ass. we appreciate your money and hope you'll be foolish enough to keep spending it here.

Excellent idea. Mind if I include this quote in my letter?

I'm glad they are ASKING us to leave our weapons in our vehicle and they are not TELLING us we have to leave them in our vehicle! No where on the sign says "NO GUNS ALLOWED" even though I don't get down there to often anymore I'll carry there till they throw me out then shop elsewhere.

Letter to Blain's

Letter to Blain's


Blain's Farm & Fleet
Blain Supply, Inc.
PO Box 391
Janesville, WI
53547-0391

To whom it may concern,

This letter is in response to a sign found in your Oak Creek store window.

____________________________________________________
“Policy

Weapons Free Evironment/Customers. (spelling error BF&F)

“We respect your right to carry a firearm in accordance with State and Federal law.
However, Farm and Fleet is a weapons free environment and we ask you to leave your weapon in your vehicle while shopping at our store.
We appreciate your business and hope you continue to shop with us.”

Below that sign is another that says; "We Welcome Your Check."
____________________________________________________

I can guarantee you that your stores in Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa, will lose customers because of your ill considered weapons policy.

I am giving you three business days from receipt of this letter before launching a boycott campaign against your stores everywhere.

Your policy is ludicrous. What you have done by putting that sign up is alerted the criminal element in this world to the fact that you are ripe for all manner of mayhem. The sign might just as well say, “Terrorists Welcome” Or “Robbers Welcome, guns are available in the parking lot” Instead; it says: LAW ABIDING, AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE NOT WELCOME.

Your sad attempt to placate the “Liberal Left” has left a sour taste in my mouth for Blain's and I will take special pains to let all my friends know about your anti-American behavior. I have friends in Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa. You need to take me seriously because I have the power of the internet, the 1st Amendment and thousands of friends in organizations in three states.

You have an ill conceived policy guiding you. Who do you think will win this little tussle. I haven't even mentioned the picketing of your stores state wide in the spring, fund raisers highlighting your incredibly myopic policy, over 100 people at the last place we picketed. We have thousands of members in three states who will not shop at your stores and will be more than happy to travel hundreds of miles just for the opportunity to stand up for their rights. And that's the short story.

Further, you may consider that you picked a bad time to put your profits in jeopardy.

We are not a bunch of do nothings and have been down this road before. I belong to several Statewide Organizations that will love to get involved. The bottom line for you is that we will definitely affect your profit margin. Organizations including Wisconsin Carry Inc., ICarry.Org. of Illinois and the Iowa Firearms Coalition. I will not hesitate to explain in detail, including pictures, just what you anti-gun, anti-2nd amendment, anti-American policy is. This is not a trifle. There are just too many other choices to shop. Thanks for making the decision easy for us. No price comparison necessary, we just shop elsewhere. Believe you me, you will feel it monetarily.


All I am asking from you is that you simply FOLLOW WISCONSIN STATE LAW. Period. Get rid of the sign and follow state law concerning Open Carry. That or you may find yourself in court, explaining why you allowed criminals to carry weapons in your store, possibly assaulting someone with a weapon they you allowed to be stolen from a vehicle out in the parking lot. I am quite sure you have no security or metal detectors in place and you cannot guarantee the safety of your customers but you are willing to put them at risk by banning honest, law abiding citizens the right to protect themselves. Criminals do not obey; let alone read, signs or store policies. Especially signs that are misspelled. That is why we call them criminals.


Thank You for your kind consideration.

(Real names and cities are listed here.)
I will send tomorrow so if you want your real name and city listed, PM me.
