Bloomberg Targets Kroger

The manager said it made a customer nervous and asked if I would take it out to my car. ... A couple weeks later I was shopping early in the day and the day manager called the police. I was met by half a dozen officers as I exited. They determined that I was legal and sent me along.

Legal or not, what kind of an advocate are you being for the gun community by openly taking a firearm into a place after you've already been asked not to?
 
Again, the question for the open carry bunch is not, "Do we support their RIGHT to be armed?"

The real question, the RIGHT question, is, "If this is a tactic, is it working?" Overwhelmingly, we're seeing negative outcomes from these manufactured stand-off's, and we're turning more people against our view than toward it. Whether we believe in the 'right' being expressed, it seems a bad tactic, and bad tactics don't win battles, however morally 'righteous' they may be.

I have to agree with this point of view. With all the school and mall shootings what do you think people in a grocery store will think when someone walks in with an AR15? Just because you can doesn't mean you should. In other words, think if it will do some good for the pro gun crowd or just rile up the anti gun crowd. We also don't need some anti gun politician who just happens to be in the grocery store getting riled up.
 
I'm of course hoping this will be a waste of time for MDA because the large Fred Meyers down the road from my house sells AR-15's and handguns just down the isle from the groceries. Probably have to purchase a firearm transaction separately, I don't know what their store policy is for actually buying one while shopping but I imagine like any other thing in the store one could purchase an AR-15 first then swing by the groceries, buy the kids back to school clothes, stop by the electronics dept, garden center, home improvement.... (and of course an obligatory stop at the in store starbucks lol).
Im not advocating doing any of that just saying. Their gun counter is literally in the mix of everything almost like a kiosk in a mall.

As long as Kroger includes firearms in their one stop shopping plan this should be a waste of time for MDA.
 
In The Nashville, TN area, There are now billboards along the interstates that bear a photo of a guy carrying an AK and, pushing a shopping cart.

The text reads: Let's tell Kroger "Groceries, NOT Guns" I saw a couple today.The Kroger facebook page also had a similar posting yesterday morning.

Looks like they are ramping up the campaign seriously.
 
I wonder if some of the open carry characters who seem intent on frightening others and getting publicity out of their stunts are being funded by Bloomberg and/or other anti-gunners. Pro-gun folks are always trying to show how we are responsible citizens who want our 2nd Amendment rights respected and are not only not a threat to the non-gun carrying public but that we add to public safety. Carry an AR belligerently into a store where they have told you they do not want to see firearms displayed is working against 2nd Amendment progress.

Given the number of ads they've done like this, I'm wondering if most of the people open carrying in Kroger are actually MDA members.

Tom, I have wondered the same thing myself.

This particular ad, and several others, bemoan the fact that you can open carry a firearm but, that Kroger won't allow you to bring in food from elsewhere.

Shame on you Kroger, for trying to keep your store as sanitary as possible, such nerve ! :rolleyes:
 
oh good lord and I was carrying at Kroger this morning like every Sunday morning, c.c. but carrying. well thats not going to change.
 
I've been saying Grisham is a false flag and on Bloombergs payroll for quite some time.

I don't know about that. My question is this: who's actually carrying long guns in Kroger? I haven't even heard of the misguided pro-gun folks doing it lately.

The only ones who appear to be doing it are the MDA advocates who are staging photos for their billboards. Are they getting approval from Kroger's management and legal departments before doing so? If not, that raises some interesting questions.
 
There is another thread on this, so let's not duplicate. Keep this on the Bloomberg action plan and not on what you would do in that situation.
