i would imagine it is enforceable. the government asks teachers to do it every day.

And non-police civil servants.

It was a Walgreens that I had stopped into late at night that I chased 2 drunk asshats out of. I posted about it in the OCE area of this site. I am fairly sure they were drunk and maybe not going to do the things they said, but I am glad I was there anyway. My google-fu is week so I can't find my post but the reason the store wouldn't allow me to leave a stack of MOC tri-folds was due to a "policy" that referred to weapons.

When you advertise to criminals your employees can't carry firearms and are fired if they do....guess what happens? Btw...I live 1 mile from this location, I'm glad I vowed to never shop there again.

Walgreens has given the criminal element an invitation to rob them. Seems the criminals are sending in their RSVP's. This makes twice for this location in my city. Pity.

Jeremy got a new job at a mom & pop shop not too far away. When I learn where I will let you know. Unless someone finds out sooner.

Pat him on the back if you do.

When a buisness would rather serve and be robbed by criminals then let law abiding citizens carry either as a worker or customer than anyone working there or shopping at the buisness should not be suprised to be robbed, raped, or killed.

Shopping at such stores only encourages crime and criminal activity.

Criminal activity spikes through the roof(no one armed to stop them). Paying customers flee the business in droves seeking safer place to buy greeting cards and milk...anti-gun business closes. Will corporate America take note? We'll see.

And non-police civil servants.

The case is "Hoven v. Walgreen Co.", case number 1:2011cv00881, filed August 19, 2011 in Michigan Western District Court, Southern Division (1) Office.

It is reportedly available on PACER, but I don't have an account (yet). Who can get a copy of the complaint?

Hello? Those with access to PACER, what's the hold up? (I'm still waiting on the registration.)
