More than half of the population either donât have guns or, wisely and maturely, leave them at home.
I seriously doubt this will hurt Targetâs business nationwide.
I think the insurance angle is worth investigating. What business wants to risk having customers shot when they could have prevented it by simply and reasonably banning guns, as businesses have done for decades? Insurance companies could understandably jack up premiums for companies that allow these morons to wander their aisles with machine guns. That might change the minds of a few CEOs.
Been gone far too long Bubba!

Thank you!
I find it more than a little depressing that does not appear to be common knowledge.
I was not a great student, but I guess theyâre not teaching civics at all any more?
LOVE IT!
Make sure they have flack vests though!
Whenever these gun-toting knuckleheads see the Target logo, they get all moist in the loins and have an uncontrollable desire to whip out their weaponry for all the world to see.
Youâd think this would be just common sense. Maybe we should make it legal for them to openly carry their penis. It would be safer, but they probably wouldnât be as proud about it.
The LIBruls arE tryING, but can"T, KEEP me doWN.
Iâve been saying this for a while nowâŚ
You want gun control? Require liability insurance, just like cars.
And, require proof of insurance for any concealed carry permit or open carry. Confiscate any weapon carried in public if thereâs no proof of insurance.
Congressional invertebrates are the only problemâŚ
They might sue Target for a civil rights violation under the Americans with Disabilitys Act: âUh feel nekkid anâ helpless in public without muh gun.â
Strictly speaking, a lot of states are going to require them to post a specific notice before they can really enforce (and by âreally enforceâ I mean, call the cops to remove someone) it, without getting a manager to come out and politely ask them to leave (something a lot of store managers probably donât want to do).
In Texas, for concealed handguns, there either has to be an oral request from someone with âapparent authorityâ (which I would take would mean a store security guard or manager). Or what we charmingly describe as a written posted â30-ought-6â notice, because itâs in Section 30.06 of the Penal Code.
I suspect though that Target probably doesnât care if a well-concealed handgun is in their store⌠this is really about the obnoxious idiots in Texas Open Carry, who feel it necessary to keep and bear assault rifles in retail stores.
With the number of people you see in an average Target these days, youâd think theyâd also banned customers.
true . . . we get more immediate results when we âhit them in the walletâ
These guys are just making excuses as each and every business they have showed up at as asked them to leave the guns at home or in their car. There a few home grown businesses that allow it, so let them go to those places where the owner doesnât care and see how long it takes for all of them to start shooting each other and taking innocent lives with them.
I live in Texas and there is a chance these idiots might show up at a public place where Iâm at. If they do, Iâm calling the police immediately. Call me a bitch, but I wonât put up with thier nonsense. Iâve already been shot once by my own ex husband and I donât want ANY guns around me. These people get into my space, they will have to leave or Iâll take my business elsewhere.
When a gun accidentally goes off and shoots a customer or employee, rates will most assuredly go up. Given how public all of this has been, its quite probable that the insurance company would drop them entirely.
And in such a situation, Target most definitely is going to be the deep pockets that any lawsuit is going after. Other companies have publicly refused them, and Target hymned and hawed for weeks, which would quickly be construed as tactically having a policy of allowing armed people to walk your aisles. Target got lucky that nothing happened while they were waiting to make this decision.
So a corporation canât technically call the shots on guns in their stores, but they can call the shots on birth control for your vagina?
