I don’t want to really go down a conspiracy road, but, this makes you wonder
(Forbes) Gun safety advocates are asking Target to ban ‘open carry’ in its stores.
After a string of victories at fast food chains in recent weeks, gun control activists are renewing pressure on discount giant Target Target to ban firearms in its stores.
Michael Bloomberg-backed Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America has launched a campaign asking Target to ban the open carrying of guns in its stores just as news emerges out of South Carolina adding urgency to their mission.
A loss prevention officer found a real, loaded gun in the toy aisle of a Myrtle Beach branch of Target last Friday night. Says the local NBC affiliate:
The gun was in plain view on top of a superhero Playskool toy box when the worker found it; he thought it was a toy. He realized it was real after seeing it was loaded with live ammo.
Just a coincidence, right? Because everyone who carries, whether open or concealed, just happens to pull their gun out and set it down and forget it. In a toy aisle.
The fact that it was found in an aisle geared toward children makes some shoppers feel this was no accident.
“I don’t think someone would accidentally drop off a gun. I think he purposely left it there for a child to pick up and think, ‘Oh it’s a toy gun,’ and accidentally point it at somebody and it goes off,†says Kennedy McClain.
I think that may be going a bit too far. Most likely it was left there by a complete moron who shouldn’t be allowed to carry, or an anti-gunnite trying to manufacture an incident. The security video was handed over to the police, as there was a “suspicious male” walking the aisles. I wonder if we will get the real story if an arrest occurs?
