I don't give a flying **** what Target or anyone else wants. They can kiss my ass.
More crap for me to buy tomorrow!!!
Wow, you guys are taking this so seriously. It's a dumb rule meant to address a dumb complaint about even dumber people. If you are any smart, it doesn't apply to you.
So eloquently put. It disheartens me that these are prevalent issues in our society. The problem that we're seeing is that more lib stores like Target catering to their Lib demographics and pushing out those who want to abide by the law but more importantly just want to be left the f*** alone. If your store has a posted NO GUNS sign, well fine, I'll vote with my dollars elsewhere. I wont disarm myself so I can spend my hard earned money at your establishment. I wont conform to your rules when I'm doing you a service by supporting your business. But Target and places alike don't care. Because myself, and people like me are not their bread and butter. We are the minority to them.
Sure you can!Problem is...my local target (Kokomo) is located inside the mall. Granted it has it's own outside entrance, but I am still unsure if you can actually carry in there since the mall itself is a GFZ.
My family rarely if ever shops at Target, but thats why they call it "concealed carry" To be 1000% honest as long as I'm reasonably sure I can't get caught( Read metal detectors) save for inside my boys school I C/C almost every where I go in Indiana regardless, and if any family is with me I always carry. That is why I absolutely hate, hate, hate going to baseball games in Chicago as now both Sox and Cubs wand everyone who enters, so now I can't even have a edged weapon on me. As we all know mad men who's intent is the slaughter of the innocent prefer unarmed and defenseless victims.
Exactly how many mass shootings have ever taken place at shooting ranges of police stations? you know the type of places mass shooters will 100% have to deal with armed potential victims who can actually SHOOT BACK.
am I understanding you correctly? Do you think that everyone who carries openly is "flaunting" the fact that they have a gun?We've been winning without the "all eyes on me" open carry stuff, but yet now that people feel the need to flaunt not just one handgun, but two or three, and head out with AKs, ARs, etc., I wonder if we are going to keep winning. We won prior to this whole concept that we need people out and about to see guns otherwise the laws will go against us. I don't know of one state law that went from no carry to carry (OC or CC) that was changed because people went to another state and saw someone OCing their handgun at Walmart, Target, a coffee shop, etc.. People wanted the ability to protect themselves while out and about, but I believe the vast majority of these folks wanted to do this discreetly, as in CC. OC is an absolute game changer and the current play on words will make sure it continues to be an issue. The more vocal MDA types will absolutely demand something be done, and when the manager doesn't do it, it will start to become an issue again. Yes, they show a lack of logical skills with their "see no evil there will be no evil" mindset. To some of them, the firearm is evil and if it is hidden or some policy (not law) claims there will be no evil, no wrong doing, then that means everyone is safe.
This is just the start. Hopefully the bulk of the MDA crowd is OK with the silly worded policy and won't start demanding more when they see the occasional OCer at Target. Of course if groups of people continue to OC rifles, multiple handguns, etc. to flaunt the carefully worded language of the request, then I can see MDA ramping up their demands, which will be to post signs, have employees request OCers leave, call the cops, etc.. It will be interesting to see where this goes. This group will put the pressure on every single national retailer until they all issue similar press relea
No one really cares about the numbers in "mass" shootings if you or your loved one is a victim. These people don't care if it is just one dead and fifty with minor injuries, they just don't want to see a return of the "wild wild west." They don't want to think we live in a society where everyone not only has to be armed, but they have to flaunt that they are armed via OC. As far as attacks on PDs, in recent times Detroit, MI had one as well as Moscow, ID.
Why is that?Seems to me that crime would go up for target because criminals know that no one will be able to stop them now

All thay can do is ask you to leave.If you CC they will never know and you are not braking any law if you have a permit.
They have said they will not ask you to leave...
