Target store detecting?

[Mark 1911]

Although I only live about 1/2 mile from a Target store, I have not been frequenting Target very much lately due to their firearms stance, among other reasons. I've never set off a detector at a Target store. If knew that my EDC would alarm their detectors, I would consider going there more often, just for the fun of it!

No decals, but they don't want you there.

I note that they frame the commentary in the context of open carry in the stores, but they continue to state specifically to not bring guns into the stores. At all. Had they said, "please don't open carry," it would not have been good, but it would have been less bad.

True. Since I generally OC, I just honor their wishes and don't give them any of my money.

Haven't been in a Target store since they decided to allow men in the women's bathroom. Don't plan (or need) to ever go back.

What the hell would I need to buy or consider purchasing in a Target store?

Definitely not for you! (Me either really)

Target is a liberal store owned by liberal idiots for other liberal idiots to shop in.

Their attitude towards Salvation Army bell ringers did me in, years ago. They don't need my money.

I shop target if I need anything. Walmart never gets my business, it's full of white trash.

At least Walmart doesn't care if you carry a gun into the store, and they didn't get hacked and lose the financial information of millions of customers.

I don't shop at Walmart much, but I will not set foot in Target.

I have added Walmart and Kroger to my boycott list since they both are changing their policies on selling guns/ammo to those under 21. Took the hubby to Martin's Supermarket today...he apparently had never even been in there. I don't know that he is 100% on board since they don't carry a few things he likes, but I am making the change when I shop. I don't see anything online that indicates they are not 2A friendly.

Anybody know where Meijer stands on this? I would consider going there since the one in Valpo is due to open soon and isn't that much farther for me to drive.

Kroger sells guns? Or they came out in favor of changing the law?

We do most of our grocery shopping at Strack and Van Tills. Much nicer than any of the big chains, but they are strictly groceries.

Have you had any recent surgeries? My dad had back and neck surgery and sets off the alarms at cvs and walmart everytime

Kroger apparently owns Fred Meyer and they sell guns...but not to those between 18 and 21 now.

I've been in and out of Target stores for a while and had no idea that they were anti-gun. Nobody ever said anything to me when I OC'd there either. I don't shop there often because their bourbon selection sucks, but I've just added a new reason to avoid the place.
