Images: How NRA Supporters React To Moms’ Gun Sense Group Over Open Carry At Kroger
After the NRA posted the following image on their Facebook page of a Kroger manager in Ohio refusing to accept a petition from Moms Demand Action to end open carrying firearms in stores, Bearingarms.com asserted that it’s a ‘basic human right” to carry long guns in a store where families shop with their children.
Ironically and hypocritically, in another post, the site’s author states, “Open carry announces to the world that you are armed. That makes you a primary target in almost any conceivable situation.”
The following are NRA supporters who left messages on the Moms Demand Action Facebook page.
Kangaroo Kevin, an alleged human, writes that he supports Kroger and opposes gay marriage while suggesting that the gun sense group fucks trees and licks dogs.
Donald Donnie Foerch Jr, writes, “God bless Croger.” [sic]
Ricky Walker just wants people to “see” his guns. Ricky has two guns. He’s super-duper-tough and he totally does not look like a gangsta.
Eric supports Kroger. I can tell because he types that thought repeatedly.
Chris Bruster openly carries a firearm because of ‘evil’ people in our country, all of whom he obviously believes meet up at Kroger.
Bill is “rockin out” with his Glock, because clearly that’s why the Second Amendment was created.
People that defend the NRA by keeping their memberships intact, aren’t paying attention. The aforementioned people made their plans clear: They will openly carry guns into Kroger locations across the country with no regard for families who shop there with their children.
A favorite bit of rhetoric from Open Carry activists is that a gun is simply an inanimate object. While that’s true, the people with their hands on the trigger don’t look like ‘good guys with a gun.’
Are these the folks Kroger should be “trusting to be responsible with their guns in stores” as per their statement? You be the judge. As for me, I’ve been spending my delicious dollars elsewhere — until a gun policy is implemented.
Big thanks to my tipster whose anonymity shall be respected here.

Looks like a photo gallery of people most likely to shoot themselves or their family members.

Just was I was thinking, or a family member will accidentally shoot another family member.

that would comport with the stats…most guns bought for protection, end up injuring or worse, a family member, a neighbor, a guest, one’s self…
these people just LOOK like dumbass, under-educated, white trash…seriously…

A good activist counter point would be to load up a cart full of groceries, roll it to the check out lane, leave it there with a note stating, ” i’ll be back to buy these groceries later once a sign on your door says, “No guns allowed”…. and walk out.
KABoink_after_wingnut_hacker October 8th, 2014 at 16:52
That’s a great idea.
Suggest you make it frozen goods.
Tammy Minton Haley October 8th, 2014 at 16:57
is there anything, anything illegal about that, at all?
like, “intentionally destroying store property”?
i mean, a crafty lawyer…. :)
i could see me doing some passive-aggressive thing like that…yep…
R.J. Carter October 8th, 2014 at 16:59
Yes, actually. It’s called “theft of services.”
Tammy Minton Haley October 8th, 2014 at 17:03
would it be “theft of service”? i thought that one was used for utilities thefts…i was thinking more like “destroying private property”, in the case of frozen foods…
oh, hell–they could probably charge both! :)
R.J. Carter October 8th, 2014 at 17:15
(Puts on my “I’m not a lawyer but I play one on the Internet” hat)
They could probably charge both. But “private property” usually is reserved for the infrastructure — i.e. breaking the windows or spraypainting the walls. “Theft” is if you steal the inventory, and “theft of services” if you render the inventory unsellable (i.e. intentionally causing spoilage of an item the store intends to sell for profit as a service).
(takes off my hat, puts on my plate metal armor and waits…)
Tammy Minton Haley October 8th, 2014 at 17:22
that makes sense, internet attorney/shining knight…
Carla Akins October 8th, 2014 at 17:25
I’m guessing it would be a misdemeanor, but intent would probably factor in. I would not encourage or go into a store for the purpose of intentionally leaving a cart – but by the same token, there are some incredibly stupid ass people in Kansas CIty and if I pass one carrying a gun in my local grocers (no Krogers here anymore) I would leave. I would also alert the manager to my cart and why I was leaving on my out.
Foundryman October 8th, 2014 at 17:01
I think if frozen goods were ruined, you could possibly face vandalism charges, and would be counter productive to the cause. I would avoid doing damage.
On the other hand, it would be the stores responsibility to return them to the coolers and freezers…
Tammy Minton Haley October 8th, 2014 at 17:04
yeah…like i said…a crafty lawyer’ll get ya, fer sure!
StoneyCurtisll October 8th, 2014 at 17:02
Or any spoil-able goods.
Kingminnie October 8th, 2014 at 17:07
I saw this same suggestion posted about Target and the restaurants. I think it’s a great suggestion but I wouldn’t post a note, they can blow away. If I saw someone open carrying I’d roll my cart right up to the service desk and make sure they knew why I was leaving it right there. That’s IF I were to ever shop in a Kroger again as long as they allow this crap. Sigh. Kroger’s is my store…I’m sure as hell not shopping at a Walmart.
R.J. Carter October 8th, 2014 at 16:47
If they’d been creative, they’d have put up pics like this one. That’s the acceptable thing to do when protesting on Facebook.

I fantasize about the day that the Walmarts and Krogers stores open their doors in the morning and the only customers are two guys strapped with assault-style rifles, handguns with extended clips, and buying nothing but a bag of Doritos and a YooHoo.
Foundryman October 8th, 2014 at 17:19
And then rob them while eating the doritos…
My fantasy is watching an open carry nut walk into a bank with his AR over his shoulder to make withdrawal….

I almost wish we had a Kroger’s here just so that I could stop shopping there. Actually, I don’t go to any big box stores and I avoid crowds–especially if alcohol is present. I live in a state with pretty much NO gun laws. No conceal carry permit required, and you can take whatever kind of gun you want pretty much anywhere except the courthouse (?) and the airport. Do I feel safe? No. My town’s biggest drug problem is booze.
