Rare Case: James Forrest Mobley was licensed to carry the .40-caliber 
Glock automatic he pulled from his lunch cooler and used to kill two 
people and himself after a dispute this month at the Best Buy 
construction site. The 51-year-old Port Royal man was one of 53,738 
South Carolinians granted concealed weapons permits by the State Law 
Enforcement Division since a law allowing the permits went into effect 
in 1996.

be introduced to the state Assembly Tuesday which also has support from

 From AzCDL:

By popular demand, we have posted templates for the "No Guns = No Money" 
and "Why I Carry" business cards on the AzCDL website's Educational 
page: http://www.azcdl.org/html/educational.html

Scroll down near the bottom of the page to find them, under the category 
of "Activism Tools."

These popular items have previously only been available for purchase 
from AzCDL at gun shows.  Why buy retail when you can download and print 
them for FREE?

The templates are in Microsoft's Word format and are designed to be 
printed on Avery 8376 or equivalent business card stock.  Make sure you 
get the type of card stock that can handle printing on both sides.

The "No Guns = No Money" cards have a picture of a gun inside the 
universal "NO" symbol (red circle with diagonal slash), then an equal 
(=) sign, then a Dollar sign ($) inside a "NO" symbol.  Underneath is 
the wording:
"You have made a decision to ban guns in your store.  I am going to 
respect that decision and take my gun and my money to a competing 
business.  You have lost my business today, and until you allow the 
tools of self-defense into your business."

On the reverse side of the card are "guns save lives" statistics.

Please carry and use these cards whenever you encounter a Jim Crow, "We 
Don't Serve Your Kind Here" (i.e., No Weapons) sign, and you want the 
owner or manager to be aware of the impact of their decision to turn you 
away as a customer.  Afterwards, please let AzCDL know via an email to 
Secretary@AzCDL.org .  If we alert others to visit the establishment, 
and after they have a stack of "No Guns = No Money" cards on their desk, 
we'll see how long the glue holds up on their sign.

The "Why I Carry" cards are a polite education tool to provide to people 
you encounter who may wonder aloud about why you are carrying a firearm.

Please feel free to distribute these cards widely.

These alerts are a project of the Arizona Citizens Defense League 
(AzCDL), an all volunteer, non-profit, non-partisan grassroots 
organization.  Join today!
