The Greesnboro, North Carolina-based chain issued a statement saying it wants to "ensure a welcoming environment where our customers and employees feel safe, and treat one another with kindness and respect while shopping and working,"
.
.
The grocer said it had engaged in discussions about the policy with a group of activists called Moms Demand Action, who gathered nearly 4,000 signatures across North Carolina to support the "gun sense policy."

Moms Demand Action has also asked Matthews-based Harris Teeter to implement gun bans in its stores. It delivered petitions to Harris Teeter last year.
The activist group also persuaded Starbucks, Target, Chipotle, Sonic, Chili’s and Jack in the Box to impose similar gun policies.

Moms demand only criminals have guns.
Did they tell non customer criminals to not bring guns into stores?
I didn’t think so.
And if the customers choose to bring a CCW weapon in to the store, will they be trespassed from the property? How would the store manager know if you’re concealed carrying anyway? Scanners, metal detectors? My suggestion is that “fresh market” sack up and tell the mommunists that the store will abide by the laws on the books.
I would make a commitment to not bring in any money to their store.
We CC so Mom’s don’t know and neither does the grocery store. That’s our policy.
How ‘bout I don’t bring money into stores either?
Or my body. I won’t bring that in.
I don’t understand why people want to be defenseless against the bad guys. The bad guys don’t respect “Gun Free ones”
In Virginia, most of these places attacked by the mommunists asked customers not to bring guns into their stores, but then turned around and said they’d follow state laws, and, in fact, never posted the decals saying they prohibited firearms.
Scratch Fresh Market off of the list of law abiding corporations. They selectively obey the law.
Ta, ta, Fresh Market. I didn't shop them much anyway and now I'll get the few things I went there for elsewhere.
. Good one ; )
How does the presence of a person exercising their 2A protected rights make for an unsafe, unkind, disrespectful environment? Especially if the person is carrying properly concealed?
Nice. I guess you could tell the mommunists “Okay, okay.” Then not do anything. Then when they bitch about it just use the old Steve Martin line...”I forgot.”
I would guess that if any one of those women were being raped they would wish they had a gun.
But then again, who would want to have sex with any of those skanks.
Moms Demand Stupidity
Me too
Ain’t that nice. What will they do when a violent criminal ignores the policy and normal, non-violent people obey it?
