The Fascinating Unexpected Thing That Happened to Kroger After They Told MDA to Get Lost

I miss Kroger. The chain had a strong presence in western PA many years ago till the butchers demanded $12 an hour (big money 30-40 years ago). Kroger said it would offer a lower amount. The butchers refused and said they would walk off the job. Kroger said, fine and you can stay home permanently. Bye-bye Kroger, bye-bye jobs.

If you are exercising your rights (gun, speech, association, whatever) because it is reasonable and convenient for your well-being, fine.
If you are exercising your rights AT ME (carrying big awkward long guns in a coffee shop, screaming religious/political rhetoric on a sidewalk at passers-by, encouraging an angry mob to block traffic, whatever) because you are trying to make me think about something to my inconvenience/annoyance/concern instead of merely going about my business while you go about yours, not fine - and the problem isn’t me.

It’s not that I’m “scared”, it’s that you’re injecting yourself & your issue into my headspace and you’re wantonly pissing me off. You know the difference between exercising your rights because it’s appropriate vs exercising your rights because you want to make people deal with something they don’t want to deal with when they’re doing something else. You know there’s a difference between carrying a rifle into a coffeeshop because you’re walking to the woods to hunt, vs carrying a rifle into a coffeeshop because you want all the otherwise apathetic people to LOOK AT YOUR BIG F”IN RIFLE AND RESPECT YOUR RIGHTS which means you’re just being an @$$.

“Is ‘Moms Demand Action’ a George Soros funded group?”

Dig deep enough, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised.

"I still doubt I’d walk into a grocery store with an AR on my back as a matter of routine.

With the price of beef going through the roof it might be a wise precaution to protect your investment!!!

Responsible carry isn’t a problem

Who decides? You? Hardly.

The legislature has decided and legislated what 'responsible carry' means.

When all of this crap started, I went to the local Kroger (King Soopers) and thanked their manager for their stand against Moms Demanding Attention. She was incredible supportive of us, and a lot of her employees carry as well.

incredible = incredibly

I remember Fred Meyers in Portland. They are throughout the state. At least they stood up for “the law” ... which is a good start ... :-) ...

> Is ‘Moms Demand Action’ a George Soros funded group?

Close. They're a Michael Bloomberg astroturf front.

[Organic Panic]

FINALLY. A company I don’t have to boycott. I love Fred Meyers (Krogers). Where else can I go to buy a gun, some ammo, a 30 pack of Natural Light, fence posts, an apple tree, baby food, house paint, a Bulova watch, and whitey tighties all in one trip???
