Albertsons goes way of Walmart

Following mass shootings last month in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, that left a total of 31 people dead, a few major supermarket chains have changed their policy in an attempt to limit gun violence.

Albertsons has joined a list of retailers -- including Walmart, Kroger, CVS and Walgreens -- that have asked shoppers to not openly carry firearms.

So, Cerberus Capital Management owns Albertsons, Safeway, and Vons. I guess we're going to have to boycott them all.

That leaves me here in Bakersfield to shop at Aldi (sucks, poor poor selection), Winco (decent selection, a little more costly than Walmart, cheaper than Vons), Grocery Outlet (spotty selection, decent prices), AM/PM, 7-11, Fastrip, and other gas stations. There may be a Sprouts, but not sure where it's located.

I've been in two, for lack of a better term, Mexican grocery stores, and they both smelled like death from rotting I don't know what and I don't want to know. So no way am I shopping at one of the many MexicanMarts here in town.

Unless your in uniform or in a rural area, in my opinion open carry is a dumb idea puts a big X on you just my 2cents

I had no idea. How many nonuniformed people have been killed while open carrying in America? If it's a big X there must be some statistics on this, right?

Put it outa sight in your pants pocket and shut up ! And mind your own, not other people's business.

Safeway has ‘no guns’ stickers in their windows for a short time before.

Just because I have the right to free speech doesn’t mean I run my mouth in public.

That sucks, I have 3 near me (Northgate, El Super and El Metate) and they are all pretty great. El Metate is pretty small, but an awesome meat counter and killer carnitas.

Just another step in the wrong direction (shooting themselves in the foot?) for the owners of The Freedom Group, which consists of (Source of Data Wikipedia):

• Acquired Bushmaster Firearms International in April 2006
• Purchased Remington Arms in April 2007.
• Acquired Cobb Manufacturing, a manufacturer of large-caliber tactical rifles in August 2007
• Acquired DPMS Panther Arms December 14, 2007.
• Acquired Marlin Firearms in January 2008.
• Acquired silencer manufacturer Advanced Armament Corporation in October 2009.

These companies were combined into the Remington Outdoor Company.

In March 2018, Freedom Group, now known as Remington Outdoor Company sought chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Concealed means concealed.

I thought Safeway had been that way for several years... like 6-7 years. The one that was near me went that way after ~1 year of CCW. I haven't been in one since.

With all the sheit going on, open carry just makes people nervous....not so hard to understand.

Making people nervous is bad for business....not so hard to understand, either.

Carry concealed and carry on

that's your opinion and it's fine and your opinion has no more value than anyone else's

i will say, if we keep cherry picking the rights that we're ok with versus the rights others want to legally exercise then you can't say sh** when they come to take away the rights you're ok with either

either support fully or don't say a damn word when someone decides they don't like how you exercise your rights - and it will happen

why does it always seem that there is no shortage of gun owners ok with more restrictions

what you consider to be dumb is the only way a 20 year old can legally carry, since you can't get a CCW until you're 21, so i guess you're against 18-20 year olds from protecting themselves
