Another reason, as if I needed one, to only buy tires from http://www.intercotire.com/site.php

Why on Earth would they put up such a sign in the first place? Is this dealership in Detroit?...DC?...Oakland?...Miami?

Not all of them. I guess it depends on who is running the shop.

Looks to me like they are supporting the S&W boycott.

All my vehicles (including my 1946 Allis Chalmers tractor) have Goodyear tires on them.
I just went out and shot all of them. I will be walking to work tonight.

Seriously -- I'd like to find out if this is corporate policy or just this particular vendor's p.o.v. 
I'm buying tires for my car this weekend...

Nice lookin' sign ... which will, no doubt, halt any armed criminal with intentions of robbing that tire store in his tracks ...
Is it enforceable on legally-carrying citizens under CA code?

Never thought of that.
Why not just put up another sign beneath that one saying, "As you can see, we're totally defenseless, Mr. Rapsheet-as-long-as-my arm, so -- Stick us up...please!!"

The individual stores are usually franchises and unless corporate policy dictated to them to post no firearms permitted signs you've lumped the whole corporation and hundreds of dealers together with what may be a single franchise owner.
Anyone gonna ask Goodyear are ya'll just gonna cast stones?
Update: Called the local Goodyear company owned store and the manager hasn't heard anything about a policy change directing them to post the premises. He said he'd call corporate HR and ask since he doesn't think the company would want to alienate law abiding citizens buying their products. :banghead:

Good job hso! It is a drag to see folks get their panties in a bunch without ever actually checking the facts.
I am all for boycotts and letter campaigns, AFTER we know the truth. For all we know this is just a couple idiot owners and not "Goodyear" at all.
Standing by for your next update.

Looks like a corp poster to me... using the corp colors.
As far as being enforcable in PRK, I doubt it..... Never heard of anything like it in PRK.

The Dobbs Tire Goodyear Dealers (biggest chain in town) here in St. Louis all put up the Gunbusters signs. They're not "legal" to bar CCW, but they do tell me that the chain doesn't want my business.

Mediocre tires, anyway.
That sign doesn't apply to me...
See...it's a revolver; I carry a pistol. Besides, I've never carried a weapon; I carry a "precision defensive instrument".
In all seriousness, the law in Michigan doesn't say I can conceal only where the owner doesn't care. The most a person can do is, if they discover you are concealing, is to request that you leave.
I'd like to see that one fought in court. I think they would lose, and if an officer made the error of arresting one, I think eventually they would lose a suit. Signs like these, besides making me sick, make me think about completing a law degree.

The one in Concord, NH has that sign, too. (A sign like that in NH? Wow.)
Not that it will effect them at all, but I haven't been back since (and I have 3 cars). Why bother? I just don't feel safe there.
I did ask the manager about it. It is a corp. thing. I asked him how he felt about having his "criminal safety zone". Made him think a bit. Too bad, too. Nice guy.

"criminal safety zone"
Now that's clever. I like that. I'm going to file that one away to use if these signs show up here in Kalifornya. Frankly, I'm surprised I haven't seen them here yet.
