[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1355013, member: 14668"] Actually...I don't really blame Target for their "no gun" policy. It is in response to the "open carry" idiots who scare the hell out of people by parading around in malls and restaurants and in front of schools carrying rifles in order to make a political statement. The new policy wont stop me from shopping at or carrying concealed in my local Target store, since by law all they can do[B][I] if [/I][/B]they see me carrying my gun is to order me to leave the premises and then charge me with criminal trespassing [B][I]only[/I][/B] [B][I]if[/I][/B] I refuse to do so. That's not an issue for me, because the [I]only[/I] foreseeable circumstances under which my gun would [I]ever[/I] be out of its holster in a Target store to begin with would be circumstances such as a mass shooting incident where I would most certainly be trying to get the hell out of there anyway. Concealed means concealed. There are times and places where the open carry of rifles is appropriate, but schools and restaurants and malls are not among them and Target has every right to decide whether or not to allow guns on their property.
