As If I Needed Yet Another Reason NOT To Shop At Target......

[Niner]

The Target store folks have formally "requested" CCW holders not to bring guns into their stores. I'll be glad to comply with that request by keeping me and my money out of their cotton picking stores......

Same here. They don't need my money.

No reason I can't shop, with my Cc.

No one can tell I'm carrying it and I'm sure anyone walking by me would not think this ole lady had one. Ridiculous.
So if I can't carry it, in their store, I'll just shop elsewhere.

Target sucks more and more each day anyway. Although I do go in there from time to time. I find less and less that I am interested in buying.
Prolly not anymore though.

[Thumper]

I go into Target maybe once per year ... I guess that'll now be zero times per year.

"Request" denied. Simple enough.

We shop at Target all the time and will continue to do so. You guys need to lighten the hell up. And like CD said, it's a "request." If you carry concealed, it's like, um, concealed.

The older I get, the fewer fucks I have in my inventory to give. Gotta use them wisely!

[BarryBobPosthole]

That's well said. Can I steal it?

[LJ3]

Absolutely :)

If those azzholes don't like weapons, why the hell do they use a day'um bullseye for their logo??? ;)

Yep, that's what she's been tellin' me. ;)

Molly Snyder, a Target spokeswoman, said the retailer will not post signs at its stores asking people not to bring guns inside. “It is not a ban,” she said. “There is no prohibition.”

[Thumper]

Heck, why did they even bring it up in the first place?

[Chicken Dinner]

To placate the worried Mom's...

[LJ3]

^^^ What he said.

Personally, I think it's about the best way they COULD have handled it. Both sides should be happy with it and STFU.

Man... I think these curmudgeons are wearing off on me!

[Thumper]

Naaa, you're just an asshole ... that's different than a curmudgeon. :D

[Niner]

Well....I pretty much stopped shopping there when they took out their sporting goods department. Can you remember when they actually HAD one of those? It's been a while.

Also, on the rare times that I do get dragged into one of their establishment(s), I never fail to get pissed off before I can get out of there. One of the same reasons I don't like going into a K-mart....."something" will happen that just pisses me off every time....usually it has to do with the employees' "lack of concern" for the customer.

So...like the title of this posting....it's just another reason for me to keep "off Target" (yes...pun intended). :biggrin

[BarryBobPosthole]

If you think there's some sort of altruistic reason Target or any other public place makes these sort of rules you are wrong. Target probably doesn't have a policy regarding the second amendment. they are doing whatever their lawyers told them they needed to do to minimize their chances of getting sued. Period.

Dang, I gotta raise my game up a notch! What's more powerful than curmudgeon and asshole?

[Thumper]

Hmmmm, a "prick" maybe? ;)

Target is just a poor mans Walmart. If Ticboy doesn't quit interjecting logic into these discussions he might be stripped of his membership from the (THC) tinfoil hatters club.

Just remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. The powers that be always cave in to those who scream the longest and the loudest

[Thumper]

THC??? Dang, for a minute there ya' prolly got Ticboy all excited. I'll bet he had visions of tetrahydrocannabinol dancing in his head. :D

(Ummm, NOT that I have a clue what that even is of course) ;)
