I suggest that instead of picking a business or chain that is more or less carry friendly we find other businesses being targeted by the antis and help them. I spent the last 10 minutes googleing trying to find others but all that kept popping up was Star Bucks. If we find one being persecuted we could do another "buycott" and have another successful outing.

That'd be the best thing we could do, I think; unfortunately, I don't think its very often that such a large-scale and publicly discussed boycott has been organized by the Anti's. We'd have to infiltrate their ranks to determine what locations they are shunning or talking down about... 
I think this is a great idea. I would however sugguest not considering any store or chains who sell firearms or firearm gear exclusively(such as gun shops or cabelas for example). We should focus on stores or chains being targeted by antis first, then netural stores second. I also sugguest a flyer such as the sb one. I think monthly sugguestion by any member with 50 quality post should be considered, and a vote with 51%? 60%? 75%? majority winning? Just some thoughts.

Good idea! I'm in. Tagging for details when they are mentioned.
Well, I think that what we were discussing mostly involved larger chain-type locations, for that very reason. If you want to do something locally, I would imagine it would be easiest to get in touch with people who are close to you and do it, rather than attempt to do an INGO-wide event that only 3 or 4 people will be able to participate in. We could probably manage some regional selections, though.
As for the mods using the INGO name and logo on the flyer, someone will have to ask, or hopefully one of them will chime in here. I wouldn't want to use it if they didn't agree to it, though.

I don't think so. I asked something about using the name a long time ago and one of them explained that Ingo isn't to be used for things like that. I'm sure one of them will get on soon to explain.Well, I think that what we were discussing mostly involved larger chain-type locations, for that very reason.

That is dissapointing,but we dont have to us ingo. We can have a general flyer. Something to effect of " being a member of the local firearms owners community, I choose to spend money today in your establishment to show you the buying power,of our community of safe and responsible firearms owners.
Its late and off the top of my head. Maybe even start a grassroots org. For the advancement of Indiana 2A? Indiana colaltion of responsible gun owners? Again just off the top of my head, there is a reason unions have locals... NRA is great, but they can use all the local gelp they can get. Just late night ramblings
I kind of thought that Ingo wouldn't want their name mixed up in it. Its too easy for things to reflect poorly on them if something goes wrong, and if its not an event that they are running, I can definitely understand them not wanting to put their name in it for that reason.

What about getting in touch with the ISRPA? From what I have read and heard, this is exactly the type of thing they would be on board with... maybe if Kirk could jump in and confirm/advise....
I was thinking that we could keep this in this thread for now, so as not to spread out too much. I know we have the short list from earlier in the thread, but if we can get people to throw out some ideas for possible locations, once we have some, we can post a poll and decide on which location to buycott first. So, anybody have any recommendations?
Lets not get confrontational. I'm just trying to keep things clean and simple.
I think so far, our list of recommendations is pretty much these:
Lowe's
Starbucks
Wal-Mart
Barnes & Noble
Best Buy
Cabela's
Home Depot
PetSmart
Sam's Club
Yatz
Feel free to chime in. Once we've gotten a good selection, we can move on to the voting process.
