Levi Strauss stores - Boycott

According to Levi Strauss & Co. CEO Chip Bergh, he does not want customers who believe in the 2nd amendment and exercise their right to carry firearms.

Bergh said his letter represents a "request" rather than a "mandate" or all-out ban, but he hopes customers will honor the request and enter Levi Strauss stores unarmed. Bergh suggested that the recent terrorist attacks in Nice, Orlando and Paris played a role in the decision to make this statement.

Then of course the always accurate New York Times editorialized that the right to carry a concealed weapon is nothing more than a "myth."

Time to stop using/wearing their products!!!!

United States Concealed Carry Association Founder & President Tim Schmidt has released the following statement in response:

"The statements made by both of these organizations are irresponsible and insulting. As responsible, law-abiding gunowners, we know the powerful deterrent effect that responsible gun ownership has on criminals looking to commit acts of violence. You may not need a gun to try on a pair of jeans, but you may need one if a criminal enters the store seeking to harm you and your family. In fact, the CEO of Levi Strauss is suggesting that his stores become voluntary "gun free zones." We know that these areas can easily make innocent citizens the target of those who are hunting for unarmed victims to prey upon."
