I sent the below email on May 14th.  Maybe it went to junk mail?  Not sure, but                 email #2
I have yet to receive any response.  As a concerned customer, I would have 
thought one of you might have thought it was worth a reply.  Hoping to talk 
about this.  After all I made the first move, I actually continued to shop in a 
place I would have ordinarily walked away from.  Just because I care.  I could 
have gotten my daughters shoes for the same price or cheaper anywhere on the 
internet.  I chose to shop with y'all in good faith of opening a dialogue.  I 
hope we can. 

 Mr. Lucas,                                                                                     email #1
> 
> I was a paying customer in your store today.  I hope to start respectful and 
logical conversation with you about something I saw at your Southlake store 
today.  I almost did not go in when I saw both 30.06&30.07 signs in your window.  
Please don’t leave the conversation yet.  I would like for this to remain 
respectful and intelligent.  Proving I am both a constitutionally aware but 
normal average citizen.  I hope we can talk but it may prove to be a bit of a 
long email. 
> 
> I am a licensed to carry citizen in the state of Texas, formerly known as CHL.  
I carry almost everywhere.  I do in fact carry everywhere it is legal.  I would 
not call myself a zealot.  I would think most people classify me as normal and 
average.  I DO NOT OPEN CARRY.  I respect the rights of those who do while also 
respecting others private property.  But concealed carry is a bit of a different 
issue.  You would NEVER know I carry.  NOBODY would.  That is how concealed 
carry works.  But you have a 30.06 sign, which is optional, in your store that 
says I cannot carry in your store.  Normally I walk away.  But my daughter and 
wife have shopped in your store several times.  I thought today, this might be 
my day to make a difference.  I went into your store and spent over $160 on my 
daughters running shoes.  I did it anyway in good faith, even though I disagree 
with your signage.  
> 
> So here is my plea to you.  Can we talk about potential removal of the 30.06 
portion of your signage.  I understand your desire to have no open carry in your 
store.  I respect that.  But concealed carry really doesn’t have an effect on 
you or your employees.  I would like to explain and demonstrate why, in 
intelligent fashion.  
> 
> What do you KNOW IMMEDIATELY about a CHL or LTC in the state of Texas.  
http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/GV/htm/GV.411.htm#411.171 
> Some of the highlights in this statute..You know I am not a felon, nor have I 
been convicted of a class A or B misdemeanor in the past 5 years.  You know I am 
not chemically dependant.  I am not a fugitive from justice.  I am at least 21 
years of age.  I am not delinquent in any tax payments or child support.  And 
that I am a legal resident of this state.  I had to sit through a gun training 
class to get my CHL.  And lastly you know that I am already in the fingerprint 
database.   Do you know this many GOOD things about your average customer? 
> 
> What you also know, is having had this good record already, and having jumped 
through the hoops of having to be trained and procure a License to Carry, I am 
in no hurry break any laws revoking my License or jeopardizing my good name.  
These facts make a very compelling case to me for allowing model citizens, as it 
were, to legally exercise a constitutional right.  It is possible, legally, to 
place a 30.07 "open carry forbidden” sign in your window and not have the sign 
that forbids concealed carry(30.06).  
> 
> I would also like to offer you the opportunity to look up conviction rates of 
those with the LTC in Texas.  http://dps.texas.gov/rsd/chl/reports/convrates.htm 
> I would also ask you to pay close attention to the conviction rate of CHL 
holders in the state of Texas.  Out of all convictions, in Texas, note the 
latest data proves a 0.2341% rate of CHL holders.  That is an astounding 
statistic, again do you know this much about your other customer who come in?  
Please note there are now over 1 million LTC’s in the state and Tarrant county 
has the 2nd highest number of licenses, by county, in the state.  This is a 
significant customer base.  My guess is not all of them are as active as I am 
about my Constitutional rights, but we are a growing class.  We are becoming 
larger daily, and we represent significant buying power.  
> 
> A little more about that last part, buying power.  I am sort of an average 
guy.  But, I plan ahead.  My wife and I are stable.  I have been in the same job 
almost 25 years.  My wife has also been gainfully employed that same amount of 
time.  In this time, we have paid off our entire mortgage, all of our vehicles, 
and maintain zero credit card debt.  We will be paying for college for our kids.  
The rest of our income is discretionary, cost of living, and retirement.  We 
have buying power.  In good faith, in hopes that you would be kind enough to 
read this long email, I patronized your store today, even though I disagree with 
your 30.06 sign(I did return my concealed carry piece to my vehicle and locked 
it up, another concern we address in more detail—it’s now in a locked car 
instead of on me—much less safe).  So in good faith I ask you, would you be 
willing to reconsider just the 30.06 or concealed carry portion of your signage?  
It would go a long way in maintaining our patronage of your establishment.  
> 
> I truly hope to establish a dialogue on this subject.  An intelligent two way 
dialogue that allows us both to learn from each other.  I respect your right to 
your feelings.  I hope you will have respect and concern my rights also. I have 
many friends who while not vocal feel just as strongly as I do. Please let’s 
talk.  I do hope you will reply and take my request thoughtfully.
