Target asks customers to leave firearms at home

It's not Bloomberg's money. It's fuckstick "activists"

Yep that guy is personally responsible for 100+ years of gun control and single-handedly destroying the sterling image that has been so effective in preserving our rights. Why if they hadn't been so ignorant there'd be no reason at all for MDA! Or Bloomberg! Of course nothing like this ever happened before those guys and we'd be safe and snuggly with all our rights intact. C'mon Ridge...

That guy is responsible for Target changing it's policy, which is the discussion of this thread. I'm sorry I didn't catch those brain waves of yours thinking about the overlying general status of our 2nd amendment right to hunt stuffed animals in a supermarket.

It would be interesting to know if there's any connection between the Chipotle event, the Target event, and various gun control groups. I realize it's Summer and hot weather can make people do things they might not ordinarily do, but getting a handful of guys to carry modern sporting rifles through a Target fails to compute.

One person would get attention. Three or more, together, is making a statement.

I really hate to say I agree with Ridge but ...

Well, I as the customer did ask them repeatedly not to lose my credit card information to the hackers.

This list of places where we're not welcome just keeps getting longer. I'd say Bloomberg's money is working

again, by exploiting their lack of knowledge about concealed vs open carry, and by caving to pressure- I think it shows that methods used by carrying long guns into these establishments is not more effective than the "everytown for violating 2A rights" method. Change your tactics.

Nice one... they're OBVIOUSLY very security conscious if they allowed a trojan to infect computers in their corporate network to compromise customer personal info.

I go to Target about three times a year and I always carry, concealed usually and no one has said a word on the two occassions I was open carry. I think Colorado persons are a little more tolerant than the assholes that inhabit other states.

I just will not spend my money there anymore. I hope they lose a lot of business cause of this.

My e-mail to Target corporate management:

I find it ironic that a company with a name and symbol like yours, one that claims to support veterans and troops, has fallen in with the extremist anti-gun zealots of Michael Bloomberg's front organizations with your recent "ban" of personally owned firearms.

While I recognize some people have had stupid counter-productive displays, your ban-that's-not-a-ban was the wrong way to handle things and I find it as offensive as all of Bloomberg's assaults on our Constitutional rights.

My shopping henceforth will go to stores like Wal-Mart that don't undermine my Constitutional rights or react to the irrational fears, distortions, and outright lies spread by organizations like the ironically named Mayors Against Illegal Guns or Everytown for Gun Safety.

It's very frustrating that its ok for companies to ask you to ignore a constitutionally guaranteed right and it's applauded. Yet, a company wants to choose which benefits it offers and they get ripped apart. My oh my, what a fun path we're on.

The obvious answer to this is to shop somewhere else. Politely agree to not waste your money there and be done. However, that is not what the left does. If they hit a speed bump in their agenda, they don't change course, the go full steam ahead and run over anyone in their way.

Very frustrating indeed.
