Target's gun ban backfires: Here come the robbers
Within three days of a new policy asking customers not to bring their guns to Target stores, reports have surfaced of armed attacks on customers.
Two Target shoppers at two different stores in Georgia have been robbed by armed thugs since the discount retailer announced on July 2, in a letter from its CEO, that it would “respectfully request” that customers leave their guns at home when they visit Target. Spokeswoman Molly Snyder said it was not a ban on guns, just a “request” that the Minneapolis-based retailer hoped its customers would honor. She said no signs would be posted banning guns, nor would any customer legally carrying a gun in Target stores be asked to leave.
I wonder how long it will take for the law suits to be filed.

It'd be tough to prove cause and effect.

May be hard to prove, but sure is a hell of a coincidence. I wonder if the top suits at Target will make the connection.

I'm with you Rev...
I think it really comes down to, if you CC and you are not printing or super obvious about it, no one is going to know anyway. I really think people want to stay blissfully ignorant.
I went to a store the other day that had a huge sign saying "No Firearms. No Loaded Magazines". And when I say huge, I mean it took up the entire lower half of the glass door.
I talked to the store manager who I ambushed while he was at a register helping another employee. I told him I had a CHP and asked if it would be a problem if I CC'ed in the store. His response was "If you do, I don't want to know about it." I thought that was pretty cool.

"No loaded magazines"
The ignorance and stupidity of some people boggles my mind.
And to publicly announce that ignorance with an unresearched sign makes it even worse.

Target could turn into thunder dome for all I care, but is no one else worried about Moms Demand Action getting their way with so little resistance? All I can think about is those self-righteous MADD fools coming on to change policy with a bunch of dead kids, sound familiar? Right now its Target so I'll save my tears for a place I actually shop at. When it comes to affecting State and Federal laws, which is the next inevitable step, I'll be kirking bad.
