Well, at least you have to admit that when they take a stupid stand on something they are consistent with it.

Yeah, like the chief didn't arrange that little safety inspection to drive his point across...
This is a failure of management to not make clear from the beginning that uniformed police officers are an exception.
I bet he was shocked to be treated like regular folks instead of being treated like a police.
Bless that sign. Now those who will commit mayhem will have to shrug their shoulders and kill in a different establishment.
Other non-shoppers, like North Mountain, said that retailers' no-gun policies should maybe have an exception for citizens. Government employees are less to be trusted.
I see nothing wrong with Ikea’s policy. Keep in mind that Ikea is a European (Dutch) company. I frequently shopped at one in Slovakia. Much of my furniture came from that store. The advantage is that most of their furniture breaks down and fits into flat boxes. The computer work station that I am now using, as well as much of my furniture and kitchen goods came from that Ikea. It was very easy to ship all to the Philippines.
I wish I didn’t think Ikea was overpriced junk already. Now I don’t have them on my list to cross off. Wait...okay I put them on the list...now lined through.
in some states, during the time I was a state trooper - you HAD to carry off duty - maintain your badge - and did so without any complaint from stores...
Liberals are setting up the foundation for social mayhem where law abiding citizens will follow the law for fear of prosecution - while the criminal will have free reign out on the public streets.
It’s what the liberals want - an excuse to seize freedoms and marshal in a police state. I see why the Hunger Games is so popular!
I carry concealed - and gamble when I walk in to store that have that policy - not being in LE anymore - but one has to be ready for the welfare zombies ready to launch a emotional outburst! Then again, those stores are where I limit my time in or just not go to anymore. Again, I think that plays in to the liberal agenda of crippling these economically strained stores and will push the “police state” agenda to come sooner than later...
A GUN FREE sign is an open invitation to anyone who wants to hold it, or its customers, up. I will NEVER shop at Ikea.
“The store has signs posted on the front door that read “Weapons Free Environment.”
Brilliant.
Of course, they wouldn't want them getting shot all over the store.
Bad for business...
(;^D)
“Oh, your dog is SO dead...” Was the officers response.
Yesterday I saw a guy riding a motorcycle with a Glock prominently displayed on his hip.
Gave him a thumbs up, though I doubt he saw it.
Not something I ever saw in California...
Loss prevention officer
What they call dumb asses these days
DISPATCHER: “Any car in the vicinity of Ikea store, there armed men inside robbing store”
OFFICER: “Tell them they have to enforce their weapons free policy first”
Their gun policy is stupid, but I am happy that the off-duty cop received no special treatment. Why should he be treated any differently from any other law-abiding citizen who goes into Ikea?
Sorry, I am ab Officer of the Law and I am REQUIRED to wear this sidearm. So I can not comply with your silly request.
What are they going to do? Call one of your Officer in to remove you. These companies are just hurting themselves. The vast majority of Americans think things like this are silly at best and just plain ignorant at worst.
In the event that a criminal should be shooting the place up with a gun he snuck inside, the police should wait outside for him to come out when he is finished. That would seem an adequate way to handle their policy. I won’t be visiting Ikea, by the way.
IKEA is not weapon free, as the door stated. I was recently in one and there were knives, pens/pencils, cording and rope, glass, etc.
