It has recently come to my attention that Kroger stores in Southern Ohio have posted signs prohibiting the legal
carrying of concealed handguns in your establishments. I will no longer spend one red cent in your Dillon store
in Pryor, Ok. until these signs come down. To disarm law-abiding citizens while the criminals will do what they
do naturally and without regard to your absurd signs is completely and utterly rediculous. I have already spoken
with my friends and family about his and they will also take their business elsewhere. We live in a rural area,
and guns are a big part of our lives. We are not scared of them, or the criminals who wish to harm us. We know
how to defend ourselves, and to try to strip that right from others who have trained and passed background checks
in order to defend themselves is insane. I am sure that as my friends and family spread the word, they will deter
others from funding your Anti-Second Amendment bigotry. Do you honestly think a criminal will stop and read that
sign and go back to put up his gun? Kinda foolish, isn't it?
Their reply:
Dear ****,
Thank you for contacting The Kroger Co. regarding our recent decision to
post signs in some of our Ohio stores asking our customers not to carry
concealed weapons while in the store. While the Ohio Conceal and Carry Law
does give individuals the right to carry a concealed weapon, it also gives
businesses the right to specify whether or not they will allow customers to
carry concealed weapons on their property.
We understand your stance as a shopper and respect your right to take it.
However, our obligation to our valued customers is to not only provide them
with quality products and services, but also a safe place to shop. We have
noted your feedback and we value it. We appreciate your understanding in
this matter.
Please continue to contact us any time you have a question or comment.
Sincerely,
John Langlitz

Safe place to shop? Do you disarm the police in your stores? This quote is taken from the Gun Owners of
America website:
http://www.gunowners.org/sk0802.htm
* Armed citizens kill more crooks than do the police. Citizens shoot and kill at least twice as many
criminals as police do every year (1,527 to 606).6 And readers of Newsweek learned that "only 2 percent of
civilian shootings involved an innocent person mistakenly identified as a criminal. The 'error rate' for the
police, however, was 11 percent, more than five times as high."7
Will you be responsible for those disarmed citizens who may be harmed because of your misguided hysteria?
Hopefully, Alan Korwin's "Gun Free Zone Liability Act" which establishes a civil cause of action for injury
sustained in a posted gun free zone that a reasonable person would consider to have been prevented by carrying
a firearm for defense, will be passed.
http://www.gunlaws.com/GFZ/index.htm
"A. Any person, organization or entity, or any agency of government that creates a gun-free zone shall be
liable for damages resulting from criminal conduct that occurs against an individual in such gun-free zone, if
a reasonable person would believe that possession of a firearm could have helped the individual defend against
such conduct. In the event the conduct is a result of a terrorist attack as federally defined, or adversely
affects a disabled person, a senior citizen or a child under 16 years of age, treble damages shall apply."
as ive stated before!
