Quoted: OK- I just read all the Leatherman Tools threads where that thread was about a specific product. My questions center around an entire business entity, such as a sporting goods store, a grocery store, a clothing store etc. The places you visit regularly.
So, we've determined at a product level what we do or don't support. How about at the store level?
ETA: Spelling.

Okay, my Leatherman example was admittedly limited.
Forget product, or even store/chain/etc. - how about an entire country?
Use the archive and look back at all the threads about boycotting France - that included products, businesses, companies, even the subsidiaries of rench parent or holding companies with no actual operations in France. I
do realize this was a response to anti-American sentiment, not anti-RKBA efforts; but my point was and still is that
YES, many of us here spend like we vote - infromed and in our own best interests.
Other good examples abound here, such as the call for a boycott of particular stores, chains, etc. which prohibit CCW regardless of state law/licensing (frequently seen in the Texas Hometown Forum and others), the intense hatred here of eBay/Paypal (many, many threads on this topic), and the derision of Kerry contributors during the last election (Leatherman was only one of many).
So yes, we care - and many (most?) of us spend accordingly.
ETA: Let's not forget that many here are even for boycotting
gun manufacturers when they don't "tow the line" (Glock ["ballistic fingerprinting"]; S&W [HUD agreement]; Ruger [comments & mag-limits]; etc.).
