Meijer Anti-gun

[Ingomike]

It's sad that these companies think that making their customers and employees a soft target is a good idea.

Same thing with hospitals and malls, but don't let me get on my soapbox.

The dumbmasses don’t think of security until danger is at the door. They think like naive kindergartners that if everyone is nice it will all be ok…

Walmart asks people to conceal, or as it's worded on the sign "Kindly refrain from open carrying a firearm". Kroger has the same policy, but I've never seen any signs. IIRC both started about the same time in response to people OCing long guns where they could do that but not OC a handgun in protest.

Yes. Both Walmart and Kroger took a softer stance than Meijer. Walmart and Kroger say "no OC". Meijer says "no guns"... Although both are not good, Meijer's stance is much worse.

While Meijer put up the signage, you can thank/blame the insurance company for dictating it.

Walmarts are easy… If they sell ammunition they’re safe to shop in. If they don’t, stay away.

Southside Muncie WM sells guns and ammo, they also have those portable cameras in the parking lot. Not sure if I want to shop at that store.

I'm sure the insurance company security force for Meijer's is top notch... even though I never see them when I shop.

I shop at my local Meijer regularly (was just in there tonight).

Because of this thread, I've been reading all of the signs as I go in. I've seen no anti-gun signage of any kind.

 

[MinuteManMike]

Screw 'em. I carry my gun wherever I want. If I have to draw it and shoot an active shooter, and they wind up banning me.... I'll deal with all that BS when it happens.

Big difference when GFZ signs don’t carry the force of law. Certainly can’t disagree with that stance.

Which insurance companies? I've heard that said for many years, and I've yet to hear of any company being named.


Also, are there companies that do not have stupid requirements? If so, then we need to know who they are so we can transfer our coverage to companies we can support in good conscience.

I saw them take down a shoplifter once; they're around but incognito...

And i haven't noticed any new signs going up at my local store.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

They're very stealthy...

 

[actaeon277]

I never see them either, but then... I never really look.

Saw the first one, West Lafayette.

Was in Portage Meijer tonight. They still sell targets, ammo, Hoppes.. so they aren't so antigun that they won't take your money. Looks like contacting the good senator may be a great way to help him focus on what the constitution means.

How many commercial insurance companies do you know? And not talking small business, the kind a company like Meijer has. Then how many reinsurers do you know? I do not know them either, and I doubt we have a CEO on INGO that knows…

How many large corps do not prohibit carry? Walmart/Kroger/etc all allow it. So yes I agree with Bill that it isn't the insurance companies requiring it.

Bill did not say that, he asked who. I asked if we even know who the possibilities are in insurance and reinsurance. And on what evidence do you make the statement you believe it is not insurance companies?

This goes back several years, people keep saying it's the insurance companies that are requiring it but never specify any insurance company or their policies.

What evidence do I use to have that belief? As I posted above, multiple large and small companies that do not prohibit carry. Meijer included up until recently, if it was a insurance companies policy don't you think that Meijer would have said that to to pass the buck? Rather than in their email replies to questions regarding it that it is simply corporate policy.
