In August, Moms Demand Action For Gun Sense began pressuring Kroger, the nation's largest supermarket chain, to revise its policy of letting insecure manchildren carry loaded guns in their stores. Now the confrontation is getting delightfully wacky: Counter-protesters are flashing misspelled signs along with their shooting irons, Clear Channel is allegedly pulling the Moms' hilarious radio ads, and executives are fleeing investor meetings in the dead of night for the safety of gun-free college campuses.
I'm sure this is just a coincidence and the execs weren't running away. My understanding is the Marriott cancelled at the last minute so they were left with only a few possible alternatives. Let's see there was the "Tiny Tots Daycare Center", a Buddhist Monastery, the College of course and, oh yeah, some guy named Stan's living room. The college was the only location with a big-screen TV for presentations.
Fine, you don't want your associates confroting armed individuals. You never heard of discreetly picking up the phone and calling the cops to handle it? I'm sure the bank tellers at the Kroger stores that have bank branches inside them could teach the associates how to do that.

Same principle could applied this way: &ldquo;Millions of customers are present in our busy grocery stores every day, and we don&rsquo;t want to put our associates in a position of having to <b>insure the food we sell is safe.</b>&quot;

A petition with no verification. What fun.
And double-bagging.
Literally?
Who said it has to be your own head up your ass? He&#039;s an outsourcing aficionado like Charlie Baker.
Can we quarantine gun owners to protect the public? It&#039;s only common sense.
You&#039;re in a grocery store and you see a man with an assault rifle. Do you ... a) feel safer b) leave c) shoot first
