So I guess Target is out!


Recommended Posts

Basically they appeased the bedwetters who are too ignorant to see through it (read: probably all of them), while still respecting folks' rights, it would appear. Pretty cool.

It's hilarious how the over-zealous nutjobs on OUR side are causing us more trouble lately than the over-zeolous nutjobs on THEIR side. WTF good can come of toting rifles into a big box retail store to cause a scene...just because you can?

White people. Thats the root of all the problem.

Most big corporations are going to have no gun policies.  Just conceal your handgun and go about your business. Don't call and ask companies if you can bring your handgun.

As long as doing so doesn't violate the law that's an option...for me, I would rather just not shop at places of business that don't seem to want my sidearm in their store.

As far as Target is concerned; I've never really liked them and probably haven't set foot in one in at least five or six years so I won't miss them nor will they miss me! ;)  That said, I'm still don't think too highly of these idiot activists who's actions are feeding directly into the agenda of the anti-firearm crowd.

Target, Chipotle, Chili's, Starbucks - all have "respectfully" requested that patrons not bring firearms inside. No bans; no posting signs, nothing. So, really, nothing has changed. My theory is that they did what they did to get the Moms Who Don't Get Any Action off their backs, and it worked like a charm.

Let them think they've won. They're more likely to underestimate us.

 

 

They just want those retards to stop using their business as a place to push an agenda with guns strapped on their backs.  Next time one of those wannabe youtube activists says they're just exercising their constitutional rights, ask them how many times a day they refer to their mothers, wives and daughters as a whore or #### [c-word] while they exercise their constitutional right to free speech.

If that were the case, why wouldn't they just post signs on the doors?

Why would they put up any gun sign at all?  anything outside of a gunbuster is irrelevant and it's obvious they don't want to post them up and lose the business from those of us who don't walk around stores video taping ourselves just waiting for someone to say something while we all have magpul pimped out AR's strapped on.

Persoanlly I have zero problem with what they have said. Just like most businesses Target does not want to get into the 2nd amendment fight and just want to make money. If they chose to ban firearms or if they chose to openly allow firearms that would cost them customers. By being vague they have appeased both sides and probably increased their customer base by doing so.

 

I will shop there because they do allow me to carry my handgun. I have no intentions of carrying my guns openly so their decision does not affect me .

My wife has been with Target for years.

 

They had a big pow-wow this morning to discuss this memo.

 

They were specifically told that Target has made their announcment, and it is done and over. No more action, and if the team members spot someone legally carrying in the store, they are to say nothing, do nothing and contninue on with their jobs.

 

They will not be posting. They will not be asking anyone to leave their store. They just did a dog and pony show to get some over zealous folks ON BOTH SIDES to hush.

 

 

 

Thankfully here in Kentucky concealed means concealed, and there is no crime in carrying past a posting. But again, I am not concerned about Target posting.

So you can't carry an AK47 into a target anymore? Hopefully broadswords and chainsaws are still okay. Seriously, why is this an issue? You can still carry concealed. They just don't want folks bringing an arsenal into their establishment and scaring off customers. If there was a rash of dudes open carrying dildos into the kids' section of Target I'm sure they'd come up with a policy for that too. This has absolutely nothing to do with the second amendment. Target will still have my business. Just shopped there yesterday, as a matter of fact. Had a bullet launcher on me the whole time. Hooray for discretion! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I get a huge bottle of off brand Claritin there once a year but that's about it.

 

Hope the new law doesn't affect you negatively.  Is Claritin (or its generic) covered by the new anti-meth law?  I really don't know.  One of the news blurbs about the pseudo-ephedrine law had a pic of Claritin.

No, it's Loratadine, my choice for ragweed season for the last decade or so too.  None of the best antihistamines over the last twenty years have pseudoephedrine added to them.
