Dear Ms. Morris:
It has come to my attention that Fascinations does not allow its patrons or employees to carry firearms on the property. While it is the perogative of a privately owned business to make such decisions, I believe this is unwise and inconsiderate.
Your business caters to a largely female clientele and also provides merchandise that depicts rape and violence against women. Your shops are also open late into the night. I am given to understand one of your stores was recently robbed. Apparently that criminal did not respect your signs. By banning weapons for your law-abiding customers and employees, you are making them vulnerable to attacks, including murder, rape, and armed robbery.
I hope you will reconsider your policy. If not, regretably I will have to take my business elsewhere. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Kevin Walsh
