It's going to interesting to see what Congress does when they come back in session. Lots of big money in Trump's ear right now. Trump must veto any legislation even if he gets over ridden, otherwise he is finished.

quote:

Add Publix to the growing list of retailers asking customers to leave their guns at home.

"Publix respectfully requests that only law enforcement officials openly carry firearms in our stores," the Florida-based grocery chain said in a statement.

Publix has more than 1,200 stores in seven states in the Southeast.

With the announcement, Publix joins outlets like Walmart, Target, CVS, Kroger, Walgreens, Albertson’s, Aldi, H-E-B, Meijer, Starbucks and a host of others in asking customers not to openly carry firearms in their stores following mass shootings across the country

It seems like these major companies horribly misread their customer base

That is Publix prerogative. Doesn’t seem like they’ve taken issue with concealed carry though

I'm curious should owning a gun come with certain safety and defensive training classes? If we have to register our firearms why can't they require certification on each every X amount of years. If you can not pass you can not own, type of deal or would this still be against the #2 amendment for many.

If a private business doesn't want you to do something on their private property, what's the issue?

What's the problem with a private company having this policy?

I already don't shop there so I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.

Probably a liability issue as much as anything. I don’t open carry and I ignore signs requesting no firearms anyway where they’re legal.

Businesses are free to ask anything they choose from their customers, right?

Right?

You don't have to shop there.

So you don't think a business should be able to do what they want on their property?

Of course, if it's against their religious convictions, they should be allowed to prohibit gun worshipers to enter their stores.

Right?

ONLY LE. Damnit, see what is happening? We will be a police state .

Yes our guardian angels in uniform who are perfect will protect us.

Like the Broward County kids who had that brave cop not go into the fray.

I'll carry thank you bitch.
