Levi’s doesn’t want my money
It boils down to this: you shouldnt have to be concerned about your safety while shopping for clothes or trying on a pair of jeans. Simply put, firearms don’t belong in either of those settings. In the end, I believe we have an obligation to our employees and customers to ensure a safe environment and keeping firearms out of our stores and offices will get us one step closer to achieving that reality.
I’m concerned about my safety wherever I go.

So is that a written agreement accepting liability for anything that happens in their store?

+1 Thirdpower. I agree completely.
Thankfully in Virginia, private gun bans don’t carry the force of law and at most would be a trespass charge if you refused to leave when asked.
In such places, I carry anyway, including places like the DMV and state-run liquor stores where our Governor Terry “The Punk” McAulliffe tried to “executive order” a gun ban. It’d never stand up to scrutiny.
The only gun bans I obey in Virginia are those enumerated in the statute, such as schools and courthouses.

Levis stopped getting any of my money decades ago, for this same shit. They used to make nice jeans, and probably still do, but I have found I can live just fine without them.

I quit buying Levi products many, many blue moons ago because of the company’s incessant rants against American inherent rights (not to mention the company’s mega-donations to sleazy politicians and anti-gun organizations).
It appears that the CCO (Chief Comrade Officer), Chip Bergh, will continue to carry the anti-American torch for Levi-Strauss; and a given that I will keep buying products from his competitors.

Same here. I haven’t bought any of their products since they sponsored the Million Mom March.

From the article:
“With stores in Paris, Nice and Orlando, and the company’s European headquarters in Brussels, I’ve thought more about safety in the past year than in the previous three decades of my career because of how ‘close to home’ so many incidents with guns have come to impacting people working for this company.”
Paris, Nice and Orlando. What do these have in common? All were the scenes of mass killings in Victim Disarmament Zones.

I stopped buying Levis a long time ago after I saw “Made in Mexico” on the label. (Levis shut down ALL US and Canadian plants and moved them to Mexico) Plus, they’re not a comfortable as they used to be with them using a shoddier material.

Yep! I read an article about Levi’s taking an antigun stand about 20 years or so ago. I’ve been wearing Rustlers and Wranglers ever since.

Levis are overpriced and much less sturdy than other brands.

That San Fran liberal jeans maker has never met a moon-bat CA politician they didn’t love, and fund. They’ve been openly anti self-defense since the 80’s.
Haven’t bought any of their products since Reagan left the WH.

I quit wearing Levis about 25 years ago when I figured out I could buy Wranglers or store brand for 1/2 or less the price which lasted twice as long. Although if I still had my youthful frame I might still miss the fit of their 501s. Anyway Hecho en Mexico still means import to me.
