Target stores

[cyphertext]

Yeah,

I reckon yur right....sportsmen, outdoorsmen and their families never buy any household items any way.

So, Target shouldn't worry too awful much about our demographics and dollars.

If sportsmen and outdoorsmen and their families were going to stop shopping at Target for anti gun policies, they would have done it years ago. Target quit selling guns, ammo, and archery equipment years ago. In the '90s, they quit selling toy guns. Notice that if you look at their magazine rack, there are no gun or hunting magazines. They weren't exactly gun friendly, even before this issue.

But, if yur a business that is open to the public....Except the public.

It's all in the perspective of one's own view or his or her experiences in life.
Those that have limited exposure to the public, are sometimes frightened by new or different things in life.

And we all know that Dallas and surrounding areas are jest so cosmopolitan these days.
Those folks in the Piney Woods and West Texas are jest so much hayseed.

Doesn't even deserve comment, but... Back when I first bought property where I am now, it was a little, small town where everyone knew everyone. It didn't turn into a bustling suburb until a toll road was put in near by, and with that came less expensive housing and tons of people...

If you knew me personally, you would think I was very much redneck and hayseed, but nice try...

Personally, I never been ask to leave a business because I was armed.
All I'm ever asked, "Is that a Colt 1911 or is that a Smith and Wesson .357?"
Or maybe, "Who made that holster and belt for you?"

But then again, I don't dress like an urban hoodlum neither.

We aren't talking about you and your pretty rig Dave. We are talking about these guys carrying AR-15s, AK-47s, and other long guns.

I do agree that those folks pictured in George's post above,
ought to re-think their actions a bit.

So, you agree with me, because if you look closely, George quoted me and the pic that I posted...

What's your point? Too many are worry about what giant corporations think of their rights. It makes no sense. The last thing I'm worried about is what some guys in an office somewhere decide is their policy. Too easy to go to another establishment more inline with my values. Maybe even a local place with the owner walking around.

Maybe where you live... but here in my town, the chains have taken over. The family owned Ace hardware in our downtown closed after Home Depot moved in. Only know of one locally owned restaurant still open... others try, but folks go to the chains. Our small town IGA grocery closed down when we added Walmart... now we have Target and Kroger's as well.

Don't get me wrong, the growth has many positives such as job creation, and convenience, but our town really doesn't have an identity anymore. Just like any other suburban area. Urban crawl is the death of the small town.

Moms Demand Action is nothing more than a paid mob of women (?) who don't have a life and need money. In the olden days they were prostitutes!! Today they attack your Constitution for money.



So totally absurd it doesn't even deserve a response.

I think you may have missed the "jist" of what he said? I cant speak for him but--I think it all boils down into things like: they need to mind their own business and find somehting more meaningful to do. Also, ill add for me, I absolutely HATE it,when an uninvited "guest" sticks his nose into my business.

The exact same thing--can be said about peta.

 

[the ringo kid]

For the person who asked if target sold ammo.............Maybe they do elsewhere--but not the one in Corpus Christi. Ive never seen them sell guns for that matter. However, the K-Mart we had here about 10 years ago--DID sell guns and ammo. Their other store is about 10 miles from me--an they do not sell guns or ammo.

Yeah Jim,

And I ought to be ashamed.......For feeding the trolls.

But sometimes, a feller's jest got to stand up for what's right.

You know what theys say,

"Ya can't stop a man that's in the right, that keeps on a coming!"

Ya, I'm a troll.... because I have enough common sense to know better than to carry my long gun into a private business trying to make a political statement...

You say they shouldn't carry "ugly guns", and that you carried a rifle or shotgun for "serious business"...

Even said that "I do agree that those folks pictured in George's post above, ought to re-think their actions a bit."

Sounds like to me that you don't think these fellas should be carrying rifles into Target either.... Hell, you even went so far as to judge them based on the way they are dressed... like "urban hoodlums"... Of course, once it was pointed out to you that you said that about a pic that I originally posted here, you back pedaled...

Oh my!!!!!

Media Matters is on par with Der Sturmer, well maybe a few notches below.

Just grabbed that from a quick google search... remembered the hub bub when Uncle Ted made those comments...

It's not overwhelming for the anti's so I'm happy. I hear there over 70-100 million gun owners in this country, so 28-30,000 votes for the good guys is miniscule. Hardly a "every gun forum notified" scenario. I'm betting the hard left faithful reads that website with great frequency, it is MSNBC after all, you'd think they might be able to muster more votes.

BTW, Have you looked at that poll today?

Cyphertext used a reference to media matters to infer I was not sensitive to racial differences (can you guys that know me believe that!) in another thread.
If you aren't familiar with Media Matters, search: media matters gun control, and see w hat that shows you about his sources.
Fraudulent.

 

[Old TexMex]

Political activists on the internet are being urged to create division and spread false statistics sourced from push polling and slanted commentary.
They go on sites to practice their debating skills to use against the uninformed.
They usually give themselves away, and should probably be allowed to ramble on, and be an a lesson on technique.

Fraudulent.

I did a google search on Ted Nugent Rosa Parks... first two hits are from Media Matters... I had never heard of them. I read the article though... do you doubt anything in that article? Do you doubt that those quoted had the reaction that was reported?

The comparison of your 2A rights to Rosa Parks is asinine. Rosa Parks was discriminated against due to the color of her skin... There OC debate has nothing to do with discrimination.

Oh damn, you figured me out... I joined this board before you did, just so that I could create diversion...

This is the first time I ever came over here... usually active in the "ugly gun" forum.... think I'll go back over there.

At this point, I am tired of arguing... I think the activists are doing more harm than good, and I have half a dozen examples of private businesses making requests that you don't bring firearms into their business as a direct result of the OC movement carrying into those businesses. I don't see this as helpful to gun rights, but apparently some of you do.

Starbucks, Chili's, Chipotle, Jack in the Box, Sonic, Wendy's, Target now have requested that you do not carry...

Parkdale Mall, and Sprouts (state wide) have now posted legal 30.06 in direct response to the OC movement.

Very helpful to the cause, but you guys keep supporting them. I'm out.
