Kroger (KR +0.18%) is the latest retailing chain to be dragged into the battle over gun rights.
The anti-open carry advocacy group Moms Demand Action has issued a statement calling on the grocery company to ban openly-carried firearms in its stores.

Don’t recall that being a big issue in the Krogers I have been in. Concealed, well that means concealed.
I’ve always carried at Kroger (albeit concealed) and a couple of managers have told me they have no problem at all with my doing so.
Better ...MOMS WANNA BE VICTIMS
So, “Moms against the bill of rights” bullies some company into making a public statement that says “don’t carry in my store”. The company doesn’t change any policies or post any signs and goes back to trying to make a profit.
Everyone who was carrying in that store still does.
This puppet show has become boring.
I always thought most states had it backwards. You should not need a permit for concealed carry, but you should need a permit for open carry (except for hunting, of course).
The constitution is your permit for open carry. Or is suppose to be.
You don’t need a permit to hunt in your state?
The open-carry should come with the hunting license.
Some people cannot grasp the simple truths that criminals do not obey laws and ignore signs prohibiting guns.
Shouldn’t need a permit at all.
Why did you even inform the managers that you’re packing when you have a CHL?
There was a Chinese restaurant in Houston that had a sign up that stated that they did not want any armed customers.
I entered the restaurant and told the manager that I was leaving again because of his obnoxious sign. I then stood outside the restaurant and waited for the next group of honkeys to approach and told them in a loud voice that, if they were packing, they would not be welcome, while the manager observed me through the plate glass window.
The sign has disappeared.
Yup, women with rape fantasies.
Kroger has a lot of stores in small-town Ohio.
If they’re gonna ban firearms they may as well just close up now.
Moms demand action...wasn't that a 70's porno flick?
“Moms Demand Action”
They want action?
Give’em each an Assault Vibrator and a fresh set of batteries.
Then they can go **** themselves.
These commie “moms” are ignorant asses. Maybe they should read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Unadulterated morons.
Where can I get a wooden replica of a rifle? I’m curious to see what reaction I’ll get from the Kroger around the corner from where I live. Or even the mosque in the same shopping center.
It wasn't so much inform as it was "Hey guys, what's your policy about...". I'd known them for quite a long time, and felt sure I knew the answer, but just wanted to see what they'd say.
