Courtesy: Moms Demand Action<\/figcaption><\/figure>I’m not much for supporting Big Box companies. I also don’t shop for a hobby \u2013 or even window shop, and I can count on my fingers the number of times in a decade that I set foot in a mall. But I do occasionally shop in a grocery store or watch a movie, so this list is useful even for me. Because I’d rather support a business any day that’s serious about keeping patrons safe, than one that enables “armed creeps”. Wouldn’t you?<\/p>\n

Charlie Self<\/a>, who composed the list, says:<\/p>\n
