Dear Home Depot: Tonight I discovered the Home Depot does not support the 2nd Amendment, and the right to bear arms. I was shopping with my wife, and 7 year old daughter, picking out paint colors for our new home. We had several items in our cart, and were having our paint shaken when a store associate approached me and asked to speak to me. He asked me to remove my weapon from the store, as Home Depot is a "weapon free zone." I quietly said that I would find another place to shop, and left the store. On my way out the door I checked just to make sure, and sure enough, there was no sign on your door stating no firearms allowed. I am an Air Force veteran, and possess a valid license to carry a concealed weapon within the state of Iowa. So I left the Home Depot and drove down to my local Menards store, where they had no problem with my legal carry of a weapon. You can see from the receipt below that you missed out on a fair chunk of money, and this is just the first trip of many as we renovate our newly purchased home. I will also make sure to let everyone I know, that the Home Depot doesn't support the 2nd Amendment, and somehow believes that criminals will follow their "no weapon zone." 
It takes a long time to grow an old friend.

Much as I hate it, I shop there. They give me 10% Veterans discount which basically just offsets taxes. Lowes doesn't do that , not that I have on near me. I'd go to Menards if one was near me. Damn near everybody is becoming anti-gun, pro-homo, anti-hunting or something or other that I just don't agree with.
I guess I'm just going to have to boycott the whole damn world sooner or later.

I quit using our Home Depot yrs ago.I couldnt wait to get one here in town and they were good for a while.Their customer service got worse and worse over time.Lowes is less than a mile away.

IF I owned a gun, I'd make sure to wear it in there without it being seen.
Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do.
