Like various people here have said-it makes so sense to antagonize people and give pro-gun people a bad name. Things are not so bad in this country that a person typically needs to carry their AR-15 or AK-47 around as they shop. I do not support the people in Texas carrying rifles to make a point about open carry.
There was even a racial remark made in this post in one of the replies that probably would have gotten somebody banned if it had been directed at minorities.
Target seems somewhat similar to me as Wal-Mart. For some reason I simply have not gone to the Target Store for a very long time. And I am glad I have not been to Target for a long time because of the customer data hacking situation that occurred a while back. My not going to Target had nothing to do with Target apparently being against open carry guns in their stores. Maybe they have signs at the doors but since I have not been to Target in a long time I don't know if there are signs or not. I simply have not shopped there for a long time and because of the hacking situation I will probably hesitate to shop there.
I feel we need to get beyond the insane pro-gun and anti-gun hysteria in this country and look at issues like mental health.
I totally agree with you concerning Walmart. What kind've people shop at Walmart? SMART people....people who want the most for their hard earned money,who want the best value,the best selection,and I always get excellent customer service there. There's just as much trash and scum at Nordstrom's,Macy's,Dillard's,etc. I used to work at a clothing store at a mall years ago. I bet we got the trashiest of the population in there. I know because we'd always catch them stealing,AND internally,which means trashy employees as well. I may make jokes about people watching at Walmart,but go to the upscale malls and it's just as entertaining.
