In the recent thread about Kroger not allowing concealed carry in Ohio contained this statement.

Moderator HSO is putting forth an opinion that the right to carry trumps a business owners rights and that no business has the right to "post" their property and prohibit carry. Do you agree?
I firmly disagree. I am all for writing and calling Kroger informing them that their policies are anti gun and that an anti gun stance in many of their markets will effect their bottom line. This is exactly the way the free market should work.
However, I believe I have a right to own and carry a gun but that right does not trump property owners and business owners rights to post and to prohibit carry on their property. Do you allow anyone and everyone to carry a gun into your home? No one if forcing you to shop at Kroger. No one is forcing you to disarm in order to feed your family.
IMHO this is a where the rubber meets the road gun issue.
That's not relevant to the discussion of what plan to put into action to force Kroger to reverse their anti RKBA policy. Whether concealed or openly carried, Kroger has no business posting against legally carried firearms.
It is important to continue to push them to issue a policy saying that Kroger will not allow stores to post against permit holders except where required to by law. That may include where liquor is sold, but shouldn't include anywhere else.
