Go ahead and string me up, but this is why I was never fully comfortable with open carry. Too many retarded hilljacks out there that give gun owners a bad look and it makes open carry an easy target for repeal. Quite honestly, in today's climate, it's a smart business decision whether you agree with it or not. Statistics support Wal-Mart and Kroger on this in terms of alienating customer base. Gun owners simply don't have the weight to influence Fortune 500 companies that have diversified businesses. i.e. staunch gun owners are only a small sample of their customer base.
I agree and disagree. While the entire drop of Dicks stock can't be pointed at a gun owner boycott it surely didn't help. They originally just dropped ARs but due to backlash they had to close the hunting and shooting section in most of their stores.

I’m not saying it’s a good idea to open carry everywhere you go. I’m saying it’s another step on my rights. What’s next, no open carry in public? Guess what, that directly effects every one of us hunters! Because we open carry to hunt.
I think it’s bullshit and every small victory to them is huge as a step to take our guns.
So sit back and watch it all slip away? Nah homie, that ain’t for me.
