Target's New Rules

[Redhorse]

Yep. If you force them to make a choice, most have shown they'll take the least controversial way out. You gotta admit MDA has an effective strategy here.

MDA has a much a pretty effective strategy it seems to me. Follow OCT around, take a few bad pictures, bully the entire corporation nationwide, corporation feels forced to folds, repeat.

I don't understand why EVERYONE can't leave businesses alone and let them make their money in peace.

I swore off target years ago for their refusal to acknowledge Christmas. The loss of everyone's credit card info confirmed my decision. No I'm super duper double extra secret sure I won't shop there.

The Antis could potentialy impersonate us. Our only recourse is to hide our guns, hide our beliefs, and pretend like we dont deserve our rights. Thats the best way to keep them after all!

 

[DeanMG]

If I go in there (I almost never shop there anyway) I will still carry!

Derpin' Carry Texas Strikes Again: Gets Open Carriers Booted From Target Stores Nationwide - Bearing Arms

It took my wife to point out the irony here--given their name/logo.

 

[MisterChester]

I'm really starting to think OCT is secretly a Shannon Watts/Bloomberg creation.

 

[mrortega]

Voiced my feelings in their comments section... I have no problem shopping at WalMart or Meijer and actually prefer those to Target. At least I know my credit card data is safe there... Target already proved they can't even 'secure' that... little lone guarantee customers safety.

Ouch!! Good one on the credit cards. What if the unthinkable happens...A Hoodie Boy comes in and shoots the place up then uses a stolen credit card and the info gets out!!

 

[mrortega]

I'll have my normal carry, a harmless, gentle little Glock 27 with great big teeth, neatly tucked tightly against my side with a loose shirt over it. No OC in anybody's face but still fully capable of defending my wife and myself. Issue settled.

Derpin' Carry Texas Strikes Again: Gets Open Carriers Booted From Target Stores Nationwide - Bearing Arms

I think a more interesting story is that OC in Texas is getting a lot of momentum with the state legislators as well as Abbott and Davis, both contending to be the next Governor, openly supporting Open Carry of Handguns. I didn't see any mention of OC in Kansas either.

We are winning where it counts. It's like not being invited to the popular kids party but going home with the prom queen.

I would agree.

So it isn't having the effect of reducing our rights? What what that umpteen-page thread all about then?

I sure would be interested in reading those stories because they're not making even the gun-mainstream-press. If true, that would certainly be good news.

Another reason (other than being an over-priced walmart) not to go to target

Lol. Every time this happens there is someone that bashes the store and says it sucked anyway. What are people gonna do when all merchants have been whittled away at? Didn't surprise me that the third post in this thread was someone using that argument not to care

 

[ModernGunner]

NO need for any 'conspiratorial' rhetoric that the the groups are, somehow 'really anti-gun groups posing as pro-gunners to cause problems'. What for, we do it to ourselves, and the anti-gunners just sit back and laugh.

Pro-gunners, ya did it to yourselves, once again. The more groups like OCT and their loony ilk do this, the more negative reaction will be forthcoming.

However, expect the lunacy to continue from this small segment, and the 'respectful bans' to continue. At some point, apparently not too far in the future, this type of stupidity will happen at ALL retail locations.

MAYBE, at some point, this segment of pro-gunners will 'get it'. But don't count on it.

If I was only on FB......

Remind me to look the other way when those anti-gun people are getting robbed at Target.

This is from Feb where Wendy Davis throws her support behind Open Carry, as a Democrat. IIRC, OCT started their demonstrations in Feb.

Both major candidates running on Open Carry? I love to hear how OCT has hurt the people of Texas.

And let's not forget Kansas.

I misunderstood your point in post #50. I thought you were inferring that because of OCT's activities, it was moving the needle for OC in Texas. My fault. Party on Garth.

I believe that it is! HB700 didn't pass in 2012 or 2013 but has gained a lot of support since the demonstrations started. But that isn't really the point. All that is being espoused is their actions are having a negative connotation. The people in Texas, where OCT is really fighting, are certainly not deterred by their actions. There is no negative effect where it matters.

The company I work for is in Texas. The guys in Houston and Amarillo are loving what OCT is doing.
