Bravo to Kroger Grocery Stores for not backing down to Moms Demand Action (MDA) liberal anti-gun group.
If the nut-jobs with Moms Demand Action got their way, nobody would be allowed to own or carry guns. The anti-gun nuts in America will keep trying to nudge the public towards being gun-free.
Everyone who shops at Kroger should applaud the company’s handling of the situation, which definitely works to keep each of their customers much more safe because armed criminals usually attack at the locations that ban guns, where the criminal can be pretty sure he/she will not be confronted by an armed citizen.
Just look at the many examples of idiot-run companies, like Sonic Restaurants, where a Topeka location was robbed the same day the company announced their gun ban at Sonic Stores.
Legally-concealed firearms should be a private matter that doesn’t affect anyone else, except in the event of the store and it’s customers being robbed, in which case the legal conceal & carry gun owner would put a stop to the crime. Wake up anti-gun nuts! Your argument is fatally flawed.
Refusing to bow to Moms Demand Action, Kroger asked 12 women protesting outside one of their stores to leave the premises.
“You don’t need a gun to buy a box of cereal,” said Linda Brundage, MDA’s mid-Michigan leader outside the store. “Kroger would not be breaking any laws by saying to their customers, ‘Leave your guns locked in the car.’”
Even though Kroger knew about the protest, they still will not budge on their stance allowing patrons to carry guns into their stores.
Chris Albi, Kroger’s vice president of merchandising for Michigan, said “Our policy is consistent with what it’s been all along, that we follow the state’s regulations and we don’t have a specific policy for Kroger at all.”
MDA has repeatedly tried to bully Kroger into asking patrons to stop bringing guns into their store.
Just last month, Kroger spokesman Keith Dailey told the Huffington Post, “Millions of customers are present in our busy grocery stores every day and we don’t want to put our associates in a position of having to confront a customer who is legally carrying a gun. We know that our customers are passionate on both sides of this issue and we trust them to be responsible in our stores.”
