I've been vaccinated and won't wear a mask outdoors.

this is inside
That certainly worked here on NES, didn't it!OK, that's an entirely different vibe than what I was getting from the single printed 'draw guns at masks' sign. LOL the posters are awesome and show the guy has a sense of humor and is happy to trigger libtards.
Today's pic of the store:

Nope. The store tryed sign "No Mask Inside" for straight 8 months since August-2020, did not work for some, who decided to ignore it."No masks allowed inside" would have done the job...
So threatening to draw on folks is the next logical step? Just seems silly to me. FWIW, I've always liked the shop, and would still visit if I was in the marketNope. The store tryed sign "No Mask Inside" for straight 8 months since August-2020, did not work for some, who decided to ignore it.
It is not a threat, it is a filter for idiots, I guess.So threatening to draw on folks is the next logical step?
It's about a sign on a gun shop. None of this actually matters. If people don't like the sign they shouldn't shop there and quit bitching about it. It's fine by me, will be more ammo for me and everyone else to buy who has that shop in our rotation.

Don't induce logic into this game!!!You shouldn't take that sign literally. Try and have a sense of humor.
I'm offended you said thatMy thoughts exactly. It's as if everyone has jumped on the "I'm offended!" Band wagon.
Yup - one particularly cold but sunny day I did that (hoodie though, not ballcap) and frightened the bejesus out of the poor tellers.No such thing as too cautious. Go to a bank with sunglasses and a ballcap on; you'll see it's not just gun shops.
I totally agree with you. I was greatly relieved last Fall when I stopped into 619DW and didn't have to wear a mask. Same at Shooters Outpost. I find the mask uncomfortable and fogs my glasses, so hate wearing them. Never wore them outside a store/business.I smell a lot of people in this thread who have never run a gun shop.
I got out of the game just before COVID but trust me - you don't want to walk into a shop with a balaclava, mask, bandana, neck gaiter, or scarf over your face. I've had signs at both of my shops saying as much - it's not a threat, it's a serious and fair warning. A masked man waltzing in to a shop induces the same mental response in the poor fella behind the counter as when a police officer pulls someone over, and the driver starts rooting around under the back seat... there's a reason outlaws/bandits from 100+ years back and modern thugs/gangbangers of today cover at least the lower half of their face. "Yeah but everyone is wearing them now" I don't give a shit, if anything that's MORE reason to not want them casing or robbing your shop.
If you have a medical issue and need special accommodations, call ahead and make your case - remember, the shop WANTS your money. I doubt anyone has a problem with that other than the "muh equal access" bureaucrats... and even then while I see wheelchair ramps, I've never seen a state requirement for a "clean room" for those with poor immune systems. Trust me; a sign that's not memorable or doesn't suggest a serious potential penalty will be ignored.
My favorite day was when a fella in a tinted out black SUV pulled into my empty parking lot FAST, got within about 2" of the windows with his front end, then LEAPT out and took off running down the street... I was solo, the shop was empty (very early morning) and you bet your ass I had the AR off the wall and the police on the way in under a second. This was about a week after one customer had their new shotgun stolen by someone who fit the description of a guy later seen on surveillance tapes scoping out the shop.

In this thread, among other things, I learned that DCU is an actual place. Up to this point, I thought it was a totally online institution, as in "Digital Credit Union." Who knew?I totally agree with you. I was greatly relieved last Fall when I stopped into 619DW and didn't have to wear a mask. Same at Shooters Outpost.

As for the bank, my glasses automatically tint, so when I walk into a bank they are dark. I wear a ballcap and it's never been an issue. That said, everyone in the bank I used in MA (CU) knew me and greeted me when I walked in, so it was never an issue. I was there frequently depositing checks to my business account. To date (2 yrs) DCU hasn't made an issue of it either (prior to CV-19 shutdown).
Shooters Outpost eventually caved though, at least for a little while. I was there about two months ago and every swingin' Richard in there was wearing a face diaper. I was very disappointed to see that.I totally agree with you. I was greatly relieved last Fall when I stopped into 619DW and didn't have to wear a mask. Same at Shooters Outpost.

Not that long ago, maybe 2 years ago now, before kung flu....but I can’t put an exact time frame on it (Keith probably could), they kinda toned down the window decor. I actually complained about it to Keith!! He laughed, and said I wasn’t the only one, but that the more toned down storefront brought in more customers of a different breed, ones that may have liked guns but weren’t as anti-commie as his usual clientele. I understood. Trump was president, prices were low as was demand for guns at the time (maybe it was 3 years ago?).New windows decorations of 619DW Guns & Ammo:

Back in the day, DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) was a big shot in the tech world, headquartered in Maynard. DCU was created as a credit union for their employees, in Marlborough, and has outlived the company it was made to support by 25+ years. It's weird how their locations are located though, very scattered/clustered.
Don't get me started on the Ken Olsen paycheck shuffle... that alone kept me away from DCU, despite people saying they loved it.
