Responsible carry isn’t a problem

Who decides? You? Hardly.

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

“Who decides [what’s responsible carry]?”

YOU decide if YOU are responsible.

A bunch of you completely misunderstood my point.

YOU know if YOU are going into the store to shop vs use it as a political grandstand (regardless of how cleverly you rationalize it, you know if you’re doing it to force an issue on people who are there for reasons far removed from your issue).
As a proper customer buying goods/services? while sensibly exercising a right in a polite/unobtrusive manner? good.
As a political activist feigning “customer” to thrust the issue into public awareness via a private business? you’re no better than these dweebs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ita0efOQ7Xo

Remember this point very well: we had won Starbucks, they’d declared “we are committed to respecting local law, and if that means open carry is legal, we’re OK with you open carrying so long as you’re not a jerk about it” ... then a bunch of jerks (knowing full well what they were doing) decided to rub that win in customers’ faces with frequent & recurring “Starbucks Armed Appreciation Days” in a way that DID wantonly piss off customers & management, to the point that Starbucks had to reverse their gun-agnostic policy policy a la “you OC people are being willfully obnoxious & disruptive about it, get out”.

My point?

We won Kroger.
Now don’t piss ‘em off, lest we lose them like we did Starbucks.
A close-fit OC holster is fine as normal daily carry; shop away, so long as that’s the real reason you’re in Kroger. A tricked-out AR slung isn’t, it’s not your normal daily carry, if you have it in Kroger (special cases aside) you’re not there to shop.
Don’t be a jerk.
Don’t OC _at_ people.
