Thank you for the time of your reply. I am not sure if you are aware, but Ohio is an OPEN CARRY state as well. It is NOT against the law for a citizen to carry a handgun properly holstered and uncovered.
Is there a policy on OPEN carry in your stores?
Thank you in advance.
Wow. Starbucks may have set a nice precedent. Now if they will just actually follow that policy.Please know that our company follows state laws regarding this issue and policies may vary depending on the laws of the state in which you reside.

So, you Ohio guys; is OC that common in your state? Can you safely walk the street without being stopped/questioned? I prefer CC but think either should be legal. OC requires greater care to ensure firearm not being snatched, people should carefully deal with that.
Yeah ... but do they let you carry them out of the store?stevelyn said:Pffffffffffft.......................... The Kroger owned Fred Meyer's stores in Alaska sell guns.
I was in Kroger yesterday in Denton, TX. The one on University Dr (Hwy 380) and there are no signs posting no carry on the front entrance that Texas requires for a business to prohibit CC.
