On August 18 Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America launched its latest shame campaign to pressure Kroger – which owns Fred Meyer Grocery and QFC – to ban open carry of guns in its stores.

So, Fred Meyer refuses to have its stores be unarmed victim zones.
Every time one of these announcements come out, they seem to reverse it within 24 hours. At least twice, I’ve seen this same announcement, and then...bam...the company caves.
I weonder if these merchants get a call from their bank, threating to make funding difficult.
Where the heck is LAZ when we need him? LOL!
Since customers brandishing guns at the supermarket is such an urgent and dire national problem...
Of course the media won’t say a peep. It’s like if there is one priest out of 10,000 who supports gay marriage, he’s platstered wall to wall.
Only news that creates the illusion of a social trend in favor of liberals gets broadcast.
These “moms” are uncomfortable by even the sight of guns, so they want to ban anyone having them in their presence.
Wouldn’t it make MORE sense to get these uninformed women to the pistol range for a day, so they can increase their comfort level? No, they just want to take away your right to self defense instead.
Funny how there’s no discomfort when a uniformed cop wears his sidearm anywhere. Maybe that’s the solution, we should have a responsible gunowner uniform... ;-)
Fred Meyer has their own bank:)
Fred Meyer sells guns:)
Fred Meyer is always out of .22 ammo:(
What kind of stilted name is that? It doesn't even create an acronym.

Fred Meyers. The jewelry store with a Kroger and a department store glued to it.
Beat me to it. Lol. Have you seen these "Moms"? I highly doubt most of them are "Moms". Most of them can hardly be labeled "Women".
Well, I think Laz did make a comment about nancy pe-lousy a week or so ago. :>} Yewwwwww!
*shudders* That’s just horrific.
LOL! It wasn’t me, it was Laz. :>} Where is his self respect?
Sadly it is not just moms. A friend (distant friend) commented the other day there are very few people he would trust to have a gun around himself and/or his family. Sad. What he doesn't know or realize is he has stood right next to me while I had a 9mm in a CC holster. He and his kids have walked the same supermarket aisles while I was carrying. What he doesn't realize is I am contributing in a positive way to his and his family's safety. No charge. You know what, don't even thank me, just don't try to disarm me based on your groundless fears.
Funny thing is, anti gun types often try to belittle people who own/carry firearms with "what are you afraid of?" Well, seems they are projecting their own fears. Me, I don't fear my fellow man, I don't fear him/her being armed. I don't think my neighbors or the person in front of me at the checkout is going to suddenly decide I need to die. So I do not fear their being armed.
I don't understand the fear, the abject, irrational fear of people that anti-gunners harbor. Are they really that paranoid that they think anyone and everyone may be out to get them? Do they really fear people (friends, neighbors, coworkers, etc) who aren't defenseless and under oppressive control of some ... other force? Do they really want us all disarmed? Are they that deluded as to think that will make us all safer?
Maybe they fear the accident/untrained/irresponsible gun owner? (what I think my semi-friend may have been thinking of) That is a valid concern but no reason to disarm everyone. He thinks nothing of packing his family into the SUV and driving down the interstate at 70+ mph surrounded by other people wrapped in a ton or two of steel with a couple hundred horsepower - all while they are possibly tired, angry, distracted, untrained, impaired, driving a vehicle with questionable maintenance... That's ok, not a concern. Walking through a parking lot while the teenager who got his/her license last week drives by in Dad's 3/4 ton 4X4 is no problem - anti-gunners won't even pay attention, they'll be texting or talking on their phones as they stumble through the lot.
The wild inconsistency in their expressed concern for everyone's well being is astounding. The hypocrisy would be laughable if they weren't so serious about it.
