Just Days After TARGET Starts Its ‘No Gun’ Policy, THIS Happens…

Within three days of a new policy asking customers not to bring their guns to Target stores, reports have surfaced of armed attacks on customers at those stores.

Three Target shoppers at three different stores in Georgia alone have been robbed by armed thugs since the discount retailer announced on July 2, in a letter from its CEO, that customers should leave their guns at home when they visit Target.

This news follows an unfortunate but rather obvious pattern of establishments whose businesses or customers have been targeted after putting anti-gun policies in place — and comes on the same day that a major study revealed that concealed-carry permits dramatically decrease violent crime.

In May, I reported on a North Carolina restaurant which posted a prominent “No Guns Allowed” sign and was promptly robbed by armed gunmen the very next week.  And 3 Jack-in-the-Box locations suffered robberies and a shooting within 2 weeks of their new corporate policy “requesting” no guns on site, similar to the Target policy.

Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder said it was not a ban on guns, just a “request” that the Minneapolis-based retailer hoped its customers would honor.

Whether or not that was their intent, as with Jack-in-the-Box, the outcome was the same, scary result. As WND reported that in just 3 days after Target’s new “no gun” policy:

A man was robbed at gunpoint in the parking lot of a Target in Gainesville, Georgia….

On July 5, a woman in the Edgewood area of Atlanta had just parked her Mercedes Benz in a Target parking garage and exited her vehicle when she was approached by a black man who punched her in the head, knocking her to the ground. He took her purse and car keys, then warned her to “stay on the ground or I will f—ing kill you,” according to police reports. He then put her car in reverse and would have run her over if she hadn’t rolled out of the way, she told police. She said she obeyed his commands, according to Decaturish.com.

The Gainesville Police Department arrested three men on charges of robbing a man of his cash at gunpoint in the parking lot of the Target on Shallowford Road in the city about 50 miles northeast of Atlanta.

It’s unclear if thieves are catching on and targeting businesses that discourage law abiding gun owners to carry firearms, but it would not be surprising given the amount of media coverage these corporate decisions are getting.

One would hope that Target, and other American businesses pressured by the Mike Blomberg-funded pressure group Moms Demand Action, would realize that there is only one group of people who never honor their no-guns policies: the criminals.

Meanwhile, yesterday a major study showed that a dramatic spike in the number of Americans with permits to carry concealed weapons coincides with an equally stark drop in violent crime.

When will these corporations ever learn?
