Washington State "anti-gun" Businesses List

[whacker1]

This is a compiled list of businesses that are Unfriendly to Firearm Carriers.

Sharp Shooting (N. 1200 Freya) - Spokane

Sharp Shooting,  Indoor range and gun shop?

Sharp Shooting has to be incorrect, I have watched people open carry into the building ever few minutes to purchase time on the indoor range.  As well as to purchase accessories.

Flaming Joes is a bar, and has 3 location in Spokane area.  And the owner, Sally Guthrie, is currently out on $150k bond related to drug charges.   I don't know whether she is guilty or not, but it doesn't look good for her.  I don't think I would be wanting to carry there even if it were legal to carry in a bar based on the potential entourage.

Do the Casino's allow concealed carry?

My Friendly Local Casino has "No Firearms" posted on all the entrances.

Than shouldn't these casinos be added to this list and boycotted in their entirety from sportsmen?

They should be............and not just because they are not gun friendly.

I think Cafe Racer has a reason to be afraid of having guns in their store after the shooting a couple of years ago.

My wife, son and I were under lockdown at UW Women's Health (just down the road from Cafe Racer) after that shooting.  In a waiting room at the end of a deadend hallway.  My son was afraid until he asked if I was carrying my pistol.  When I said yes, he knew that we, at least, were safe.  I discretely took a protected position that gave me full view of the elevators and stairway door, where an armed invader would be exposed should he enter that hallway.  It's too bad that the woman he carjacked and murdered was not able to defend herself.  Gun-free zones are another name for victim zones.

No I cannot. But you could ask the guy that compiled that list. I just copied and pasted it from that link I also provided.

almost all hospitals are posted no firearms.  Costco has a no firearms policy but no signage. There are quite a few companies that i have heard about that no firearm policies but no signage. I get the general impression that they are more concerned about liability than anything and its a CYA move.  You could OC into a costco and someone would ask you to leave. Since there is NO signage they have to ask you to leave and you refuse in order to get into trouble.

and possibly employee policy

common to have employee policy that may differ from how Patrons are treated.

I don't know Costco's position, but I see that in other businesses.

I saw a guy get kicked out of Costco a few years ago.  Somebody complained about him open carrying and a Costco employee had to ask him to leave.  The guy had a conceal carry permit but chose to open carry that day.  Sucks that someone was scared by a gun that a guy had open carrying...........

[pianoman9701]

I've heard this before, but as a corporation, I don't believe COSTCO has a corporate policy banning firearms from its stores.

That was a crazy day, wasn’t it? When the shooter car jacked the lady at city hall, no one knew it was the same guy. It was like the whole city was going insane.

Lincoln Creek Lumber in Olympia and Chehalis is a gun friendly business. I'm sitting at my desk now with my 9mm on my hip .45 in my desk drawer. I know there are 4 more people here who are carrying.

Erik Scott was a West Point graduate who went on to serve honorably in the Army, get his MBA from Duke and establish a lucrative career in real estate and as a sales rep for a medical device company. He was 38 years old when he was gunned down in 2010 in the portico of a Las Vegas area Costco store by officers from the Las Vegas Metro Police Department. While it was 7 bullets from the only people we’re supposed to trust with guns that snuffed out Erik Scott’s life, what really killed him was an irrational fear of firearms – hoplophobia.

Scott and his girlfriend had been shopping in the Costco, but had been asked to leave when an employee spotted Scott’s lawfully carried handgun. Scott had inadvertently exposed the gun when he squatted down to inspect some merchandise. He informed the employee that he was legally carrying the gun and was in possession of a valid Nevada concealed weapons permit, but was informed that Costco has a policy against carrying firearms in their stores.

I haven't seen the policy but have heard they have one...........
