Don’t just shop at Target....Be One.
Come be a, we mean, shop at, Target!
Be a target at a Target!
Odd, criminals not abiding by a request to not be armed. Who would have thought that might happen?
I know! I know! (Raising hand)
We could make crime illegal, and ask criminals to stay away!
Problem solved!
Right?
I’m a Target! Your a Target! Don’t you want to be a Target too!
A rather silly situation IMHO...
I was at Target yesterday. There are NO signs that prevent firearms thus I was in fact armed (concealed).
Target made a respectful request as a private business owner for you to leave your firearms at home. I quietly chose not to comply... It’s that simple...
Maybe some should be more upset as to why Target decided on this policy...

Because you can doesn’t always mean you should...
Nice Target...like having your customer robbed? I guess you do with your data breach and now this...
HMMM, lets see...
Shootings at schools = gun free zones
Shootings at army bases = gun free zones
Robberies at Target = gun free zone
Oh boy, these guns have a mind of their own. How do they get in?
And how many robberies or shootings occur at a gun show? How many robberies or shootings occur at a gun store? It should be in the thousands since there are so many mean guns there.
Just curious, but what was the crime rate at that Target prior to the “request”? Ditto that Jack In The Box. I’m not saying the public request didn’t prompt the attacks, but I’d like to know the whole story.
“Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc” is bad reasoning.
Sure, because there were no robberies at Target before.
Nice headline & sound bite.
But considering the variables, number of stores, previous stats for similar events etc, it hardly demonstrates correlation, much less cause and effect.
However, regardless of whether these particular events are related to the no gun request, common sense and previous events elsewhere demonstrate that they will happen because of the no gun publicity. Without a confession by a criminal, we just can’t prove which are correlated.
The publicity surround the first crimes reported since the no gun request was announced will make more robberies likely. Kind of funny unless you’re the victim.
Good.
At a Tacoma, Washington IKEA store a customer was asked to go and leave his gun in his car if he wanted to shop there. The person was the police chief, in uniform and of course, armed.
That’s unexpected. Who would have guessed that a guarantee of unarmed victims would attract crime?
