I'm of course hoping this will be a waste of time for MDA because the large Fred Meyers down the road from my house sells AR-15's and handguns just down the isle from the groceries. Probably have to purchase a firearm transaction separately, I don't know what their store policy is for actually buying one while shopping but I imagine like any other thing in the store one could purchase an AR-15 first then swing by the groceries, buy the kids back to school clothes, stop by the electronics dept, garden center, home improvement.... (and of course an obligatory stop at the in store starbucks lol).
Im not advocating doing any of that just saying. Their gun counter is literally in the mix of everything almost like a kiosk in a mall.

As long as Kroger includes firearms in their one stop shopping plan this should be a waste of time for MDA.

In The Nashville, TN area, There are now billboards along the interstates that bear a photo of a guy carrying an AK and, pushing a shopping cart.

The text reads: Let's tell Kroger "Groceries, NOT Guns" I saw a couple today.The Kroger facebook page also had a similar posting yesterday morning.

Looks like they are ramping up the campaign seriously.

Given the number of ads they've done like this, I'm wondering if most of the people open carrying in Kroger are actually MDA members.

I did the same on their customer service feedback page at www.kroger.com.
Got a very nice reply.

I wonder if some of the open carry characters who seem intent on frightening others and getting publicity out of their stunts are being funded by Bloomberg and/or other anti-gunners. Pro-gun folks are always trying to show how we are responsible citizens who want our 2nd Amendment rights respected and are not only not a threat to the non-gun carrying public but that we add to public safety. Carry an AR belligerently into a store where they have told you they do not want to see firearms displayed is working against 2nd Amendment progress.

Tom, I have wondered the same thing myself.

This particular ad, and several others, bemoan the fact that you can open carry a firearm but, that Kroger won't allow you to bring in food from elsewhere.

Shame on you Kroger, for trying to keep your store as sanitary as possible, such nerve !

I've been saying Grisham is a false flag and on Bloombergs payroll for quite some time.

I don't know about that. My question is this: who's actually carrying long guns in Kroger? I haven't even heard of the misguided pro-gun folks doing it lately.

The only ones who appear to be doing it are the MDA advocates who are staging photos for their billboards. Are they getting approval from Kroger's management and legal departments before doing so? If not, that raises some interesting questions.

[steve4102]

I don't know either, but there is this stuff floating around.

OMG - no wonder we will lose gun rights.

I suppose that is a modern sporting baby.

Sorry, I included a link to a related story, but it has the potential to create duplicate threads. Please follow this link to another TFL thread related to Kroger.
Sorry for any confusion.

[Glenn E. Meyer]

There is another thread on this, so let's not duplicate. Keep this on the Bloomberg action plan and not on what you would do in that situation.

This just might put a dent in the Mom's cause;

Kind of doubt it, such an article/story will never be seen on MSNN's sadly. Doubt they really even care, spout the lie often enough and loud enough and people will start believing it to be true.

Modern society also doesn't seem at all interested in fact checking claims they hear on the streets or from MSNN's as well.

I'll still correct where I can, but the brainwashing is pretty darn deep rooted in many, or so it seems.

Still, it's good to see that no one was hurt, at least no one innocent that is.

In Flintlock Tom's defense, being asked to take it out to your car one day by the same person who didn't ask you to leave it in the car previously doesn't sound like being asked to never carry in there ever.

I hate to say it but, these so called "Supporters" are hurting the cause not helping it.

That link demonstrates what we should not be doing.

At the very least, common courtesy would suggest that one ask for clarification before repeating an action that the manager has prohibited in the past.
