    | Meijer waded into the national conversation on gun safety Monday, announcing that it’s requesting that shoppers do not openly carry firearms in its stores.
 
 The move, announced by the Walker-based retail giant on Twitter, drew praise from gun control activists, who called Meijer’s announcement a “common-sense” move that seeks to “create a culture of gun safety.”
 
 Meanwhile, firearms proponents were critical of the move.
 
 “It’s obviously their decision, their property, and I’m assuming that gun owners who are law abiding peaceful people will abide by the decision,” said Steve Dulan, a board member of the Michigan Coalition for Responsible Gun Owners. “But it certainly doesn’t create any more safety there.”

                      | These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of men and women.  — Thomas Paine, The Crisis, Intro. (Dec. 1776). |  |  |
