Dear Criminal Element,
Target stores are now easy pickings. No one will be armed but you!!
That is all....
There’s actually been a spate of armed robberies following such announcements by other businesses.
I love Target. Nice store and nice employees, but unarmed security staff.
I’ve never seen anyone “open carry” in any Target store I’ve been in, and I’ve been in so many that they have a greeter in each one who knows me by name.
My daughter is both an “open carry” and permitted “concealed carry” person. She protects our granddaughter’s school when she can (has some security problems due to its location), and knows how to shoot accurately.
SHe is definitely an asset to have in an emergency.
Target should rethink their statement because it doesn’t make any sense. Most “open carry” people are making a statement about 2nd Amendment Rights, not looking for trouble.
Also, we don’t have a lot of trouble in my neighborhood due to the number of people (often law enforcement officers, who included my son), who are either an “open” or “concealed” carry person. The streets are a lot safer than many other neighbors I know of. Wonder why?
