“As the largest grocery store chain in the country, Kroger has the responsibility to keep its shoppers and employees safe with a uniform national policy. It’s currently letting both groups down. In the past two years, there have been at least 16 shootings and gun-related threats at Kroger stores throughout the country. To me, it doesn’t seem that Kroger is living up to its corporate promise of maintaining a “safe and secure workplace and shopping environment. Until Kroger decides to get some gun sense and demonstrate corporate responsibility by prohibiting the open carry of firearms in all Kroger brand stores, I and a lot of other moms will be shopping elsewhere.” – Moms Demand Action Michigan chapter member Linda Brundage in We need groceries, not guns at Michigan Kroger stores [at mlive.com]
