I'm glad I don't have to depend on a NAPA store. My local parts guy shares his store with a FFL. There's always gun talk going on when I stop in. It's a lot like an old time barber shop with all the old farts hanging around bullshitting.

I've got a couple places nearby that I use when I'm in a pinch, but otherwise I order everything online. Just another reason to avoid NAPA. |

Which store? FWIW, very few stores are company owned anymore. Most NAPA locations are privately held, at least in IL.

This store is in Beardstown, Il
I really don't know who owns the store. Just going by what the people behind the counter said. |

The Napa in Beardstown is owned by MPEC. It's an ownership group that operates approx 50 stores throughout the Midwest. The Posted! app only shows a couple of Napa locations in IL that have a sign on the door. You were either given a line, or the app is not being updated by its users.

What "Posted" app are you talking about? Where is the head quarters for the MPEC group? |

I will drive 20 extra miles to purchase car parts from another store before doing any business with NAPA.

My local NAPA store has a No-Guns on the window by the door. Easy to see, actually can't miss it. I asked the folks behind the counter if that sign was a local decision or corporate. They said it came from corporate head quarters. So I write a letter to NAPA corporate headquarters about a month ago and have not heard back. From that, I assume NAPA corporate is anti gun and as far as I know Anti second amendment. Thought I'd let everyone know in case you are interested and didn't know. Cheers I don't believe it's corporate. Our local NAPA not only has no sign but it has a stack of GunNews papers I deliver sitting on the counter. |

I'm probably the youngest guy that goes into that parts store by 20 years too. |
