"Screw Off, Moms!"

That’s what Kroger told “Moms Against Guns” (or some such) when they demanded they ban all firearms, including those carried by CCW permit holders. “Moms” founder Shannon Watts got miffed when a local manager told her to “screw off” when she tried to show him some petition signers. She just doesn’t understand that, no matter how many people sign a petition, it is not binding on ANYBODY. “MDA’s efforts have already been successful from the publicity standpoint at Target, Jack in the Box and Starbucks, all of which have issued public statements asking patrons not to carry in their stores. However, it should be noted that none of those businesses have outright banned carry in their stores (meaning nothing has really changed).” If I were a “carrier,” I would ignore their “request,” and I’m sure criminals would, too. That has been proven by all the stories of criminals bringing their guns to stores that have “asked” them not to, and have victimized people there. Especially people who have “knuckled under” to their “request.” Watts was so miffed she vented on Twitter. It should be noted that most of the replies supported the store’s rejection of her wishes.
