"complex issue" ? doesn't seem complex, it seems pretty simple to most law-abiding folks.

This should do it for “guests” and “customers”. What’s the policy about criminals bringing guns in? Like if a robber...

[molson209]

No Guns , No Credit Cards ,Just Cash ,LOL

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

another gun free zone for me to avoid...that’s why I love Wallmart!

[Flintlock]

Carry concealed, and FU Target.

[Organic Panic]

It’s nice to know who doesn’t want my business.

Dear Criminal Element,

Target stores are now easy pickings. No one will be armed but you!!

That is all....

[ProudFossil]

My take on it is, THEY CHOSE TO NAME THEMSELVES. So live with it. Incidentally I have not been in a Target store in over five years, especially after I learned they were owned by a French bunch.

[the OlLine Rebel]

I don’t personally like it that much, but it is their right.

[ican'tbelieveit]

So plain to me, but they seem to be confounded by the concept that someone coming into to rob/kill/maim is not going to be deterred by your policy not allowing firearms on the premises.

Each of us can make a statement that individually will be ignored, until enough people make it, to rattle their chains.

Enter the store, ask to speak to a manager, and say to them, “I would like to shop at Target, but because of your new anti-gun policy, I do not feel safe here anymore. Goodbye.”

There’s actually been a spate of armed robberies following such announcements by other businesses.

Now that Target has officially declared itself a defenseless victim kill zone for criminals with all forms of weaponry, it’s a place best avoided.

I stopped shopping at Target years ago when they kicked the Salvation Army out at Christmas time .

[rockrr]

*sigh*

Another place that I can’t boycott because it’s another place I already don’t patronize.

[bikerman]

My gun goes where my money goes hello walmart bye bye target.

[Jack Hammer]

So... f*** Target.

Who needs ‘em.

[AlaskaErik]

It's a request and it seems to be targeted at those who open carry AR and AK type weapons. I don't see that big of a deal at this time. I draw the line when all weapons are prohibited in a business, to include those that are legally concealed. Those businesses do not get my dollars.

I wasn’t too happy when they called Humpback Mountain a “Love Story” - in a promo they ran in their Electronics Department.

In this case, I’ll double-check with them before going there again - just to be sure that I’m not wanted.

I don’t see it as a big issue. How many will be offended that a bank refuse to let ppl who carry guns in?
