I asked (quietly) about this at our local Target.
The manager stated he will not confront anyone about lawful carry in his story. Then he asked about how to get range time.
From a legal perspective, someone needs to sue stores and venues that do this. If I get robbed because I have to leave my legal carry at home, then the venue should be liable for not providing protection.
Hey, crazier things have happened.
target nuance by making it a “request” not an edict.
