Toys R US Bans Concealed Carry

[ATM]

Glock claims that they're "safe-action pistols;" are they telling the truth, or just trying to take my money with a underhanded marketing ploy????

Doesn't really matter

...you know they had you at "Perfection".

I guess you are talking about laws on weapons and such, I must agree with you that most of those laws are just stupid.
Like that you cant carry an auto knife but a handgun is ok.

But you cant say that about ANY law, just take the fact that you have to wear your seat belt.
I think its a law who saved lots of people.

Guess again. Millions of Americans choose to break that law daily. Laws are like locks - they keep honest people honest.

 

[fergie22]

that is their right just as it our right to not go in their stores

 

[AndersonIN]

99% of these "releases" by these companies are completly INSURANCED BASED COMMENTS!!

Even if they just state "We follow the state law within each state" Lawyers will turn that into "We not only welcome EVERYONE with weapons but PROMOTE YOU TO BRING ONE IN"! Then when something MIGHT happen they can be made to the normal sheeple to look at they promoted the problem! With the lawyers a public within the US you can't really blame them! I don't agree with it but I do understand!

I don't wanna be a Toys R Us kid anymore...

At Toys “R” Us, Inc., the safety and security of our customers and our employees is, and always has been, our highest priority.

What a load.

Their REAL priorities:
#1 - Maintain their image/brand
#2 - Increase sales
#3 - Decrease costs

I am sure that "safety and security" isn't on a single document presented to their board of directors. Their stores provide absolutely ZERO (as in none, nada, zip) security to their customers.

I've only been in one Toys R Us store recently, and won't be back.

Unfortunately, I'll still be stopping in at their sister store - Babies R Us. I needs me some cheap formula and diapers for a while yet. Funny, though, I've OC'ed there on many on occasion without a second look.

 

[Titanium_Frost]

I was just OCing at Babies R us the other day to register for my wife's shower. We are due in June and I will continue to OC there until I see a sign or they tell me to leave. No problems the other day though.

Thanks for the heads up bro.
Here's a copy of my email to Toys R Us Corporate - Everyone should do the same.. You know what they say about squeaky wheels.....

{ I am extremeley disappointed with your recent Corporate decision to restrict the rights of law adiding citizens from carrying a concealed weapon into your stores. You stated in your statement that "At Toys “R” Us, Inc., the safety and security of our customers and our employees is, and always has been, our highest priority." Truly a B.S. statement as anyone with common sense would understand that a law abiding citizen who has been authorized by his/her state to carry a concealed weapon for personal protection as well as the protection of others less fortunate would be an asset to any stores security. When will people realize that CRIMINALS DON'T CARE ABOUT LAWS OR YOUR CORPORATE RESTRICTIONS - I would much prefer my family be protected by another licensed concealed carry permit holder than expecting the local police department to show up in a timely manner should some criminal decide he wants to shoot up one of your stores. Since you have so recklessley decided to endanger the public with your recent decision please understand that I will not allow my family to shop at your store anymore.

It makes great sense if you are a company lawyer. If there was a negligent discharge or if the place was getting robbed at gun point and some fool opened up without thinking about his backstop there would be a media storm that would have anti gunners and lawsuit paperwork piled up sky high. I may not like the policy but from the company's point of view I would wager that there are more shoppers spending money "unarmed" then those who are "armed" meaning that catering to the larger group would be a better decision. The stores sell goods. They do not provide security for your families. The cameras are there to protect the investment and products, not for your "protection". This is the same for almost every business out there and it's not going to change any time soon. The question is not about freedom but about private rights. The company has the right to create and enforce their policies. We have the right not to spend our money there. In the end the company will still come up on top and people will continue to write e-mails and letters that will be presented to those inside the company as proof that there are "mad people with guns" that are staying away from their stores, giving the illusion of "safety". Even if they wanted to tell everyone that strolling down the Barbie isle with an RPG on your shoulder was alright, their insurance company wouldn't let them. The reality is that if you avoid every business that has a "no weapons" sign there are not a lot of options left or places to work. Out of the places that don't have a sign posted, if you asked them if they supported your right to carry on their property they may stop and say, "It might be good to put up one of those signs".


There is no end to it.

I got an exact copy of this in reply to my email yesterday.

 

[MrSmitty]

I just wrote them an e-mail and told them I will not be shopping there from now on!

 

[INGunGuy]

Just remember this everyone, IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO CARRY ON THEIR PROPERTY, only against their BS rules. So, JUST conceal, and if you want to shop, shop, if not, then dont. If enough people complain that they are not shopping because of their stance on gun control, then they will change if enough of their profits are affected.

[bassplayrguy]

I just emailed them. Let's see if I get the same bull**** email.

 

[ThrottleJockey]

I'm thinking about going in and filling a cart or two, taking them to the register, letting them ring it all up, then ask for a manager and ask what the policy is. When he tells me, just say "oh, I'm sorry I guess I won't be making a purchase here today after all" and leave.

I told them I was now a former customer!!!

 

[cedartop]

If you post this so that we know to avoid Toysrus, fine, I don't wish to give my money to anti's either. OTOH, I always observe the, CONCEALED weapon, part of the phrase and have never had an issue.

 

[iamaclone45]

Concealed carry. Problem solved.

Don't shop at Toys R Us anyways, always thought that store was expensive.

 

[long coat]

Its not CC that they care about, its carring at all, by all.
Someone posted a link to another forum with a post from a LEO. The LEO was told he could not carry in the store, unless they were called. He was in full uniform.
Here is the link.

He is "fuzzy'


The Chuck E Cheese here in Avon has a sign on the wall about no firearms. It said something about being charged with trespassing.

Let them try. if they ask you to leave VERBALLY and you refuse then you are trespassing. Ignoring a sign does NOT equal trespassing.

I always CC in Toys r us. I laugh when i see the no gun signs.
