A gun reform group on Wednesday called on discount retail chain Target to ban
the open carrying of firearms in its stores.
The petition from Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America follows
demonstrations by a pro-gun group
bringing long guns into Target stores.
Following the petition, Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder wrote in an email,
"The safety and security of our guests and team members is our highest priority.
Target does not sell firearms or ammunition and is committed to following all
state and federal laws. However, I don't have any specific information to share
regarding this organization."
