Every Person Who Believes In The Second Amendment MUST Support Kroger In Its Fight Against Anti Gunning Nazis

Conservative Tom went too the "Moms Demand Action" site to see how they were treating the issue of guns in Kroger stores. It is the same as was reported in Breitbart below, however, interestingly enough the number they gave for Kroger Corporate Offices was the switchboard and not the number that should be called. It shows us that "Moms" did not call Kroger but looked up their number and posted it.

If you want to support Kroger, please call 800-576-4377 (option 3) and tell them they are doing the right thing by allowing those who "open carry" to do so in their stores.  We need to support firms that have the ability to understand the Constitution and are willing to take the arrows from idiotic groups like "Moms" who would take away our rights (and ironically their right) of self defense.

Kroger Refuses to Cave to Anti-Gun Group – and Its Customers Have the Last Word

The grocery chain, Kroger, has been standing firm in the face of relentless pressure from an anti-gun group. The organization Moms Demand Action has insisted Kroger ban law-abiding citizens from openly carrying firearms in its stores. Kroger refused to comply with the group’s demands, and its customers appear to be supporting its position. Kroger’s net earnings for the quarter ending November 8, 2014 are up 21 percent over last year. Supermarket News reported Kroger earned $362 million for the quarter.

Breitbart News reported that the Moms Demand Kroger campaign began on August 18, 2014. That same day, Kroger subsidiary grocer Fred Meyer refused to change Kroger’s policies.  Less than two weeks later, Kroger announced it would also not be changing its policies. Both organizations reiterated it would comply with all applicable state and local laws.

In September 2014, Moms Demand founder Shannon Watts issued an attack on Kroger for banning skateboards, but not guns. The following month a Moms Demand Action chapter based in Kentucky issued an appeal to Kroger shareholders to support a gun ban. Shareholders did not comply.

In an acceleration of its campaign, Moms Demand Action then targeted Kroger subsidiary Harris Teeter. Harris Teeter also refused to alter its policy.

Moms Demand Action has made the Kroger campaign a priority. Its website features contact information for executives as well as the following statement:

A grocery store is one of the last places we should expect to see someone openly carrying a loaded weapon. But Kroger, the largest grocery chain in the country, has policies that allow customers to openly carry guns in its stores – where moms and their kids shop every day.

Numerous shootings and gun rallies have taken place at Kroger brand stores in recent years. The company policies that have enabled this to happen are not in line with its core values, which include creating a “safe and secure workplace and shopping environment.”

Most states have weak gun laws that let people openly carry guns even if they haven’t had a background check or training. Private businesses like Kroger have the responsibility to protect their customers when the law won’t.

While anti-gun groups like this one pretend they are riding a momentum of public opinion, the reality is apparent. Kroger’s customers have spoken, and the response is loud and clear.
