Congratulations OC texas you did it again

"The leadership team has been weighing a complex issue, and I want to be sure everyone understands our thoughts and ultimate decision.

As you’ve likely seen in the media, there has been a debate about whether guests in communities that permit “open carry” should be allowed to bring firearms into Target stores. Our approach has always been to follow local laws, and of course, we will continue to do so. But starting today we will also respectfully request that guests not bring firearms to Target – even in communities where it is permitted by law.

We’ve listened carefully to the nuances of this debate and respect the protected rights of everyone involved. In return, we are asking for help in fulfilling our goal to create an atmosphere that is safe and inviting for our guests and team members.

This is a complicated issue, but it boils down to a simple belief: Bringing firearms to Target creates an environment that is at odds with the family-friendly shopping and work experience we strive to create."

Open carry communities in Texas???

[Baron Von Crowder]

I can see them asking for people not to open carry, and CHL holders can carry just like normal, but we have to go for stupid instead.

[ELVIS]

so i cant take my AK to target while picking up some fruit to dehydrate?

god bless.

[YALE]

These motherfuckers are going to ruin everything.

[Sean88gt]

They won't and shouldn't know if I'm carrying. The fucking idiot that started OC Texas needs to go to some shithole ghetto and protest.

[Sean88gt]

Cowards, their facebook page is private.

[ELVIS]

so is target going 30.06?

It's funny how you see those clowns hanging out in a Starbucks but their faggot asses wouldn't ever be seen down at Stop 6.

They might get engaged, and that would really destroy their fantasy of playing tough.

We'll see how savvy their management is on gun laws for each state. Plenty of businesses that are "anti-gun", but don't post the right signage (ex. Buffalo Wild Wings).

As far as I'm concerned, I don't care what the CEO says, if they don't have the proper sign, I'm going in with CCW.

[John -- '02 HAWK]

I doubt they will post any 'legal' signs, they are still a buisness

This corporate voice is another reason corporations should not be considered people

How is a CEO saying, through a spokesperson, that they don't want any guns in any of their thousands of stores any different than an individual store owner saying that he doesn't want any guns in his single store?

Im going to turn the question around. who do you think the politicians are going to listen to? a corporation with thousands of stores, and gives money to political action groups or a single voter. Its supposed to be we the people, not the richest of us

[ceyko]

Would a Target store be considered private property? If I tell you not to bring a gun on my property, that's my choice. The problem is when a government entity makes it a law.
