Check out a comment on the Target/MDA story from the Connecticut Carry facebook page.
Christopher Chechoski I walked into target today with my ccdl shirt on got stopped 10' in and asked to lift my shirt. I told them fuck off and walked around 10 min later police showed up and asked the se question. I had no weapon left it at home but yet I get questioned for a shirt. |

Quoted:
I would have told the police to fuck off as well. 
ETA : the story is
So he's wearing a CCDL t shirt? Why wouldn't he be concealed carrying? That's like a seeing a big beer belly guy wearing a well worn Budweiser t shirt being sober.....ain't gonna happen. Wouldn't most guys here have turned around and walked outta target and said f them they won't get my money with actions like that.... One of the employees at target-making minimum wage mind you- would really approach a potentially armed customer and ask them to expose their body and firearm in the middle of a store..... I'm calling BS all over this story.... |

I'd be rich, beitch. ETA: I know which shirt I'll be wearing next time I go to Target.

I'm calling BS all over this story.... I was thinking the same thing. Sounded like BS to me. Besides who shops at Target anyway? Prices are higher than Walmart and they have the same junk. Plus with Walmart you can see clothes and hairdos from the 70s and 80s. You also can see the worlds fattest people riding on motorized wheel chair/carts. The circus charges for a freak show, Walmart gives it to you for free. Be a man and shop online. |
| Don't buy it either. They don't have a no guns policy so why would they ask? Further more why call police? Especially with no policy you could argue for a harassment law suit. That said I will have to find a target to walk into wearing any one of my 2A shirt. Discrimination is not cool no matter who it comes from. |

I know a buddy who got harassed by a manager at the East(?) Haven Home Depot for (respectful) open carry (casual dress, handgun in a proper OC holster). They don't have a policy and he got their corporate people involved and the manager got sorted out.. Then theres the Mississippi story, with the OC guy who drew on an OC guy for OC'ing, demanding to see a permit.

| Good to hear corporate got the manager squared away. There are plenty of special people in the world. OC pulling on OC is a perfect example. Just fuel to the fire of what the libs are always crying about, more guns = more heros shooting it out with one another. It's an assinine blanket thought but dumb is as dumb does sometimes |

But Target does have a no guns policy now. Yes and no. What they have done is requested people not bring guns into their stores, but will defer to local laws including those for conceal carry. In reality (here in CT) unless they put up signs or have someone at the door telling every single person that they cannot carry in the store someone can always claim they didn't know about the corporate spokesperson's comments (both the initial statement and the revised one). Their statement(s): "We are requesting that people do not carry any firearms in our stores, including concealed carry. We will continue to follow local laws, however, concealed weapons are included in our position .... Because this is a request and not a prohibition, we do not plan to communicate with our customers at this time." |

But Target does have a no guns policy now. And that is incorrect. Target's CEO stated that their stores will obey all local laws regarding the carrying of firearms. They were concerned with open carry as opposed to concealed. There are no signs, there is no ban. They would PREFER people do not carry, particularly open but that's about it. As to any privately owned business or property, they could have just decided flat out no carry at all. For open carry, they could ask you to leave. This puts you on notice. Then you can face criminal trespass charges if you remained there. For concealed carry if you are caught, it would be the same process although if you were you might want to practice on what concealed carry means because you are doing it wrong. With all of the real gun issues out there why people have to invent shit is beyond me. Not enough drama out there for some of you? |

They've "requested" people not carry in stores. Guess we'll have to wait and see what they do when someone does not comply with their "request". |

Look at the quote above that I posted that came from one of their spokespeople, they even state that its a "request" not a "prohibition". In reality, none of what they say to the media matters anyway unless they put up signs at their entrances that say "no guns" or "no weapons". Until they put up signs, one could claim they didn't know about the "request" not to be in their stores while they were carrying if they were discovered carrying in their store. Obviously if you go to a Target store that is already in a gun free zone, like a mall (like say Milford Mall) then its a good bet your not legally supposed to be carrying there anyway if that Target store is on mall property. |
| Not so much symantics as not wanting to loose revenue. They requested no guns to appeal to the libs. A request has no legal standing which means they have done nothing to change their gun policy which appeals to the pro 2A croud. They are trying to play both sides plain and simple. If one of the bean counters crunches enough numbers on the demographics on their sales they will likely end up going one way or another plain and simple. It's all about increasing shareholders profits and nothing else. |

It's all about increasing shareholders profits and nothing else. No way they would alienate a large percentage of their customer base. Either way they went would cause a drop in their sales, and target(hurting already because of the credit card breach) would never do anything that caused them a loss in revenue. |

I personally think they handled it as well as a business that hopes to continue operating could. I hate to try and bring political correctness into the picture, but their "ruling" was essentially the definition of PC.
Its like having to make a speech in front of a bunch of right AND left wing nuts. They addressed the whole crowd and said, "Ok guys, please don't bring your guns in here, not that we would do anything if you did, but please don't. And then they turned to everyone with a gun and said,  ". For everyone who falls in between the "nuts" both left and right, everything just went on as usual..
Unfortunately, not everyone who they hire can be so . . . . . bright. . . |
