Sprouts is only in 20 States and many stores used to be Henrys.
It's now in 22 states. Some stores used to be IGA. They are primarily opening in metro suburbs and a few large small towns. For the latter, people welcome Sprouts as an attractive alternative to Wal-Mart and Aldi.
There is all the difference in the world between banning guns and carrying them around in your hip. There should be no restrictions on owning guns, but that doesn’t mean we should have people packing in spaces such as grocery stores. If Sprouts or any other store wants to prohibit people walking around with a gun, that’s their right as a private business. I personally do not want to be around people carrying guns into businesses.
Well as I explained back in post 147, our lawsuit culture makes it necessary to carry everywhere we can.
Real quick, if you have to shoot someone defending your life, the opposing counsel will try to show premeditation that on that particular day, you felt fear and therefore you strapped on your gun so to be able to shoot who it was when they were encountered. That's premeditation.
SO, we carry every day, everywhere we can so one day is like any other, one place is like any other, that we have no expectation to have to use our gun where we are.

I find them over priced but for some reason in the summer they have a much better selection of produce than some other stores. If I have time a farmers market is a much better choice. They are absolutely the highest prices for things like alcohol and toiletries.
Yep. It’s intimidating. You don’t know who these people are or how they might react in certain situations. How would you like to be working customer service in some retail establishment. Irate customer returning something he just bought and he has a handgun in a holster around his waist. All it takes is one nut case to lose it.

My neighbor had an undiagnosed brain tumor that finally killed him but during the last year he started carrying a gun and became very unpredictable and had several dangerous episodes. One involved a road rage incident with him threatening to shoot a driver over a slight traffic event. He was not mentally ill as in some sort of psychosis in the usual sense. There are a lot of walking wounded folks carrying firearms that are too unpredictable and can be triggered by the slightest thing. I fully support businesses posting signs and refusing service to people carrying firearms if that is their policy.
The ones who are paranoid are the ones who can't leave the house without a gun.

You are still around people with firearms all the time. That doesn't bother me at all because I usually am too. A stupid sign doesn't stop people from CCW. I ride to work in the dark and the amount of large dogs people have off leash is amazing.

It's a paranoid world.........that even if we are defending our lives, we still face to be legally crucified for it.Nuts, isn't it?

That same concern was used as the central argument for trying to prevent students from carrying on Texas college campus'. The concerned profs said that the thought that some students would be armed would create a "chilling effect" and subdue discussion as well as creating a fearful environment. A few years later and none of their concerns have come to pass and there haven't been OK corral type shootouts in dorms and student unions.

I am sure that people who go to bars carry, but you never hear of shootings there either.

" but that doesn’t mean we should have people packing in spaces such as grocery stores."
So your claim is guns are not needed "in spaces such as grocery stores."? Are you claiming armed robberies NEVER occur in "spaces such as grocery stores."?
"I personally do not want to be around people carrying guns into businesses." Fine, DON'T GO IN. It IS that simple.
