[Indyvet]

This group isn't going to leave Kroger alone. Hopefully Kroger sticks to it's guns. I wish I had known in advance when they were going to be there. I would of done some grocery shopping while open carrying.

Good for Kroger for not giving into this group...

"Kroger said its policy is in alignment with state and local laws and that the company has no intention of making a blanket policy banning guns from stores."

From the article:

"Of course, we will be working to change the law. This is a step that could make things easier for everybody," said Melanie Sokhey, of Moms Demand Action. "There have been many dangerous open carry incidents in other states."

I'd love to see the examples.

That was my thought as well.

She's talking about where someone's holding a bb gun talking on their cell and LEO shoots them dead. It wasn't the fault of the OC'r, it was the d%& sh#$ that called the po-po, then it was full on the shoulders of the Barney Fife that shot him.

Well the thing is that at a Kroger in Indiana I was asked if i was a police officer by a manager. I said No I was then was told that if i put my gun in the car i could continue shopping. I told them I would just leave and that I would be calling corporate. I told the Manager I was a Kroger share holder and was very displeased with his decision. All because I was open carrying a compact 9mm pistol in a minimalist holster. Due to a customer complained and said she didn't like people carrying guns. (dress slacks and button down shirt was the dress attire I don't dress like a banger) This was 3 years ago.

Nothing is going to solve this. The more "advanced" and "sophisticated" a nation gets, the more liberal it gets. European countries are evidence of this. We have the constitution, which makes us different than any other nation. But I fear, as we progressively emulate European nations, its only a matter of time before they figure out a way to change that.

Kroger and Mom's Demand Action

After watching the news this afternoon about Mom's Demand Action delivering a petition wanting lawful carry banned from Kroger, I have decided to start my own petition.

Basically, if you will continue to support Kroger by shopping there SO LONG AS they continue to allow lawful carry of firearms in their stores, PLEASE sign the petition in the link below.

It's time the good guys with guns get some air time!

[Bluejeeper]

Signed.

I wonder if MDA used all their FB page views as the "signatures" on their petition?? I'm not sure how else they would have gotten 170,000 signature.(IIRC that is the number the gave in another link in one of the other threads)

We are Kroger shoppers... Marsh may be more expensive, but it's an Indy based company... Keeping a close eye on this.

They can try to get them anytime they want

I don't always open carry but do occasionally as it's easier when I am heading to the shop or whatever. Went into Kroger at Edgewood and Madison. I was open carrying. I got a few double takes from some shoppers but no big deal. The clerk had to help me twice at the self check out and no one said a word to me. Even walked passed the service desk and several employees and not one peep out of anyone. As it should be. No one in there was any less safe. Really no different if I had concealed it. The only difference was it was in the open. Wasn't doing anything on purpose or to try and prove a point. Just more convenient.
