Meijer has joined a growing number of large U.S. retailers asking customers to not openly carry guns in their stores.
The Midwest retailer announced the request Monday, Sept. 9 on Twitter, stating the open display of guns can make employees and customers feel in danger.
“The safety of our customers and team members is our top priority, so we respectfully request that our customers do not open carry firearms at Meijer,” the company stated in the Tweet. “We’ve made this decision because open carry can create an environment that makes our customers and team members feel unsafe.”
It was not immediately clear what, if any, changes Meijer is making to sales of ammunition and firearms. |

Canned talking points likely prepared by Bloomberg/Soros operatives:
“The safety of our customers and team members is our top priority, so we respectfully request that our customers do not open carry firearms at Meijer,” the company stated in the Tweet. “We’ve made this decision because open carry can create an environment that makes our customers and team members feel unsafe.”
"There's nothing more important than the safety of our customers and employees," said Wegmans on Twitter. "The sight of someone with a gun can be alarming, and we don't want anyone to feel that way at Wegmans. For this reason, we prefer that customers not openly carry firearms in our stores."
How does the way your customers feel affect their safety?
Non sequitur. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
