A trio of anti-gun U. S. Senators are attempting to bully Kroger Corporation into banning open carry in their stores, regardless of state and federal laws.
Sens. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) sent a letter to Kroger Co. CEO, W. Rodney McMullen, on Tuesday asking him to implement storewide policies that would prevent individuals from openly carrying firearms into Kroger locations.
“We write today to urge you to adopt a policy that would prohibit the open carry of firearms in your stores,” the letter stated. “In doing so, Kroger would be sending an important message about your commitment to the safety of your employees and customers.”
The senators cited recent events, where Kroger customers have brought assault rifles while shopping.
“Gun extremists in several states have exploited the current Kroger policy by flaunting assault rifles as they shopped. These bizarre displays must be terrifying for Kroger employees and customers,” the senators wrote. “The current Kroger policy allows for these demonstrations.”

I was at a kroger the other day and there was a man in therwe with what looked liked a 38 on his hip, I smiled at him and nodded.
i bet those people who were beat into unconsciousness by a mob a few weeks ago at the Kroger in Memphis, wished someone who was carrying had been there.
And that message is ... if you are a criminal and you wish to rob Krogers ... you will face no resistance.
I hope all three get stabbed to death.

Sens. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) sent a letter to Kroger Co. CEO, W. Rodney McMullen, on Tuesday asking him to implement storewide policies that would prevent Negroes from entering Kroger locations.
“We write today to urge you to adopt a policy that would prohibit Negroes from entering your stores,” the letter stated. “In doing so, Kroger would be sending an important message about your commitment to the safety of your employees and customers.”
The senators cited recent events, where Negroes who were Kroger customers have gone shopping.
“Negroes in several states have exploited the current Kroger policy by flaunting their color as they shopped. These bizarre displays must be terrifying for Kroger employees and customers,” the senators wrote. “The current Kroger policy allows for these demonstrations.”
Thank you very much for expressing it exactly how I feel about the very same thing.
No news yet of a jihadi beheading people at a Kroger store. Perhaps that is because the customers are armed with guns.
Bloomin’liar and Murphy are senators from Connecticut. Not to raise more concern than this little bit of theater deserves but, I’ve lived in Connecticut since 1959 and I’ve never seen a Kroger store in this state. This is a desperate load of attention-seeking.
Maybe they think there is one in Dunn’s River.
Krogers owns many store brands. in Kansas one will find Dillons which is owned by Kroger. Look up Kroger brands an Im sure you will find one.
Let’s just hope he wasn’t trying to rob the store...
Perfect!
I wonder how they propose to get armed criminals to obey the request.
I hope they are beheaded by a Muslim with sudden jihad syndrome.
