Boycott Sprouts Farmers Market!
While I understand any business has the right to post a 30:06 sign, but the fact that Sprout uses false justification for doing so is reason to boycott the business. Here is their claim...
Despite their claim of "overwhelmingly positive feedback," most of the comments on their Facebook page is against the policy with most saying they will shop elsewhere in lieu of this decision. I recommend others doing so as well...

I am sure Central Market, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's will all appreciate the business being sent their way because of Sprout's ignorance in this matter!

Boycott Sprouts Farmers Market | Second Amendment Check
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts 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 provide a safe and comfortable environment for 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.
We hope that you will continue to be a part of the Sprouts family notwithstanding our decision on this issue. We value your patronage and hope to see you again soon.
Sincerely,
Stephanie
