Boycott Targets Kroger for Allowing Open Carry

The group Moms Demand Action is calling for a boycott of Kroger until it bans shoppers from carrying firearms in its supermarkets, using the Twitter hashtag #groceriesnotguns to promote the effort. "Moms need to shop for groceries, but we don't have to shop at stores that put our families in harm's way," said group founder Shannon Watts. An Open Carry Texas member recently shared a photo of himself shopping in Kroger with a loaded rifle at his back and a baby in a sling. One commenter responded, "My husband and I are gun owners. Please, please, don't be on our side. You are an embarrassment and are doing so much harm to your 'cause.'"
