I love Sprouts Market. Great fresh food and selections you can't get in most grocery stores.

Stopped in today to pick up some yogurt and a few other items and it's the first time I noticed a big old 30.06 sign at the front door. WTF? I wasn't carrying as I just came from the gym, but it still took me by surprise.

It's their right to post that, and I'm not sure I'll completely boycott them, but I'm disappointed.

We discussed this recently. They have been spoken to about it politely and rationally several times; the answer is and shall remain "No."

I'm not an organic guy but if I were I think I'd rather sprout my own sprouts and Sprouts can sprout out of town.

You can still carry where the 30.06 sign is posted. If they "happen" to see your carrying, they can throw you out for nothing more than trespass.

I would not sweat it.

I would sweat it. They posted legal notification and you violating that is criminal trespass. They can the police, you can be arrested, and you will goto trial.

Completely wrong and advice that can get a person arrested. Carrying past a properly posted and complaint 30.06 sign is a class A misdemeanor. No one has to tell you to leave first. If they suspect you of carry they can call the police, and the police will arrest you for violation of penal code 30.06 on the spot.

Leave handgun in car, open carry rifle instead. Invite you friends.

In for pix and news reports.

OK on a more serious note, there was a time when if I saw a 30.06 sign, I would secure handgun in car and bring in KelTec Sub 2000 Rifle in backpack. But I have not seen a 30.06 sign in a decade or more in any place I needed to be so I no longer do that.

I love the way you think. So how much ya want for that dusty old Sub-2000 you don't need anymore?

Don't forget your counterfeit 100s when shopping too. Go big or go home.

Where do they post 30.06? I shop at Sprouts for certain things, and I have yet to ever see a 30.06 sign at any of the locations I've gone to.

I had been to the one on Great Hills several times and never saw a 30.06 sign, but I tried to goto the one in Round Rock and that one is posted. I turned around and left... Haven't been inside any Sprouts since.

They call it "concealed carry" ​for a reason.

I agree, but I don't want to spend my money at a place that I'm not welcome.

Yeah. What sucks is there is some stuff there that my wife really likes, and it's very close to us, so I'm kind of obligated to go ever so often. It's less than optimal but, I at least always have my fixed blade on me and am not afraid to party! :-)

I preferred Sprouts over Whole Foods. Ive been to the one near the Arboretum, don't recall a sign either.

That's it! Growing my own vegetables!

Visited the new Alamo Draught House theater in my area of N TX . No posting of concealed handgun restrictions.

Is that a code name for Sprouts Market?

While I respect that Texas law states that Sprouts, or any business, has a right to prohibit concealed carry, I don't agree with that position. When the Jim Crowe laws that prohibited blacks from certain business establishments (or mandated where blacks could sit when visiting that establishment) came under attack, the courts, and the court of public opinion, stated that a business open to the public must be open and equally welcoming to ALL of the public. It is wrong, our society decided, to prohibit blacks, or any other population group, from entering a business that was open to the public.

Philosophically, I draw a distinction between a private property owner (e.g., a homeowner) and a business establishment. An owner of a property that is not a business that's open to the public has the absolute right to prohibit anyone from the premises, whereas, a business owner assumes certain restrictions on his property rights when he operates a business.

When an establishment is open to the public, I think a business owner's rights should be limited to ejecting any specific individual who, in the business owner's opinion, is acting in an inappropriate manner. Denying access unilaterally to any law-abiding group, should not be allowed.

(Oh, and I love farmer's markets and I'm the furthest thing from a hippie freak. I just like fresh, non-GMO foods, produced in a more healthful manner and purchased directly from the people that produce them.)
