Kroger on Tuesday followed Walmart in asking shoppers not to openly carry guns in any of its stores, in states where open carry is allowed, unless they are authorized law enforcement officers.
The announced changes come amid a wave of deadly shootings in the U.S., including two at Walmart stores this summer.
Both companies are also calling on the government to strengthen background checks.
Kroger is respectfully asking that customers no longer openly carry firearms into our stores, other than authorized law enforcement officers, Jessica Adelman, group vice president of corporate affairs, said in an emailed statement. We are also joining those encouraging our elected leaders to pass laws that will strengthen background checks and remove weapons from those who have been found to pose a risk for violence.

Is that throughout all Kroger stores nationwide, or just in certain states?
We have that INSANE policy here in The People's Republik of Connecticut. We get no more plastic bags from any stores, yet people are buying MORE plastic bags to line wastebaskets, etc. Plus we still use plastic bags for garbage, produce, etc.
I use *extra* plastic now in CT grocery stores. Every item that usually leaks or "sweats" (ie cold milk cartons), I just put in individual plastic bags from the Produce Dept. I don't want to clean that liquid out of my dopey reusable bags. I assume clear produce bags will be the next to go...
Thanks
I’ll never shop at Kroger again...
Good bye!
I understood it to be all of them
I just start double bagging paper I guess
