Nothing has changed at Target, you can still carry there.

Such cowards.

You know why they ASK people to leave their guns at home? LIABILITY:

See, if they ASK and you comply and there’s a mass-shooting that YOU COULD HAVE PREVENTED, well…..you have no tort suit against them, right?

Cuz **YOU** decided to leave your gun behind, DUMMY.

So what this means is they’re cowards x1 for giving into anti-gun-ism but then they’re cowards x2 cuz they won’t stick it out far enough to take even a tiny liability risk.

So they’re being cowards twice over.

What you said.

Seems a lot of Freepers lack reading comprehension skills.

The adage “Because you can doesn’t always mean you should”... comes to mind... Carrying your AR over your shoulder while you’re walking around with the soccer moms is likely to draw the kind of attention that is not desired...

Target REQUESTED that you not open carry. The request really has no teeth other than the fact they can ask you to leave if they see your firearm... They haven’t posted any “no firearm” signs as of yet...

I spoke to my local Target store manager and he is unhappy. He believes this will hurt business... Time will tell

I will continue to CC and ignore their request if I MUST go to Target which is unlikely...

Carry a gun because you sure can’t carry a cop.

Speaking of open carry... I'm a fan of concealed carry. I have a nice Galco that fits my Glock G19 and I really well.

However, this is not a retention holster. If I was going to ever go open carry I'd want a good retention holster. Anyone have one they like for something along the lines of a G19?

the open carry “movement” isn’t helping our side in the least. Fact is, they’re aiding our enemies.

Bianchi makes a nice one for the Glock 19. Actually I think it’s a Safariland, since somehow the two are connected now. Model #83. I have it in belt and paddle for my 19. The retention device is a paddle you depress with your middle finger as you draw.
LOOK at Alien, Comp Tac and Galco ‘King Tuk’ IWB holsters as well.

here on Iohio, if there’s no sign posted on the front door, there’s nothing stopping you legally.

the serpa is OK but I gave mine to a buddy. I’m not a fan of anything that inhibits me from drawing and it was terrible for concealed carry. I’m sold on the Akers flatsider series personally.

I'd like to say "well, that's that! No more Target for me."

But I can't. Haven't set foot in a Target since the Salvation Army kerfuffle.

They better change their name from Target, too.

“Nothing has changed at Target, you can still carry there.”

Yup. In NV, they didn’t say squat to a bud of mine.

Not only that, but they really oppose the “gospel gun.” It is my practice to graciously offer a few gospel tracts out as i shop, which even Muslim store owners let me do. But very quickly security was on me for doing so, and sternly warned me i would have to leave the store if i continued - even though i was checking out with a $100+.00 bicycle!

Yes, i latter thought i should have asked if he really thought this was such an offense that he wanted me to cancel this purchase. Or something to that effect.
