Looks like they are at it again, except now they are going to embarrass and harass Kroger by putting in ads in the Cincinnati Enquirer showing people carrying rifles into Kroger. This is of course meant to intimidate Kroger into changing their policy. And could possibly making this an issue in Ohio regarding open carry laws as well.
Well guess what? I have been a longtime Kroger shopper and I have never seen anyone walk in with a rifle in any Kroger in Kentucky or Ohio.
I think and believe that the stunts that the 'open carry' groups pulled in Texas with their foolishness of carrying rifles into supermarkets and restaurants to make a political point could now be affecting gun law abiding gun owners in Ohio.
Their antics in Texas have prompted the Bloomberg funded group Mom's Demand Action to target Kroger in Ohio because Kroger is based in Cincinnati. The last thing for any company would want is to have negative publicity in advertisements like Bloomberg's funded group is planning to do. And if Kroger does cave in because the actions of outside groups, law abiding gun owners who shop at Kroger could be the biggest to lose.

"CINCINNATI —Concern over Ohio's open-carry law for guns prompted the group Moms Demand Action to buy ads in the Cincinnati Enquirer.
“I don't expect when I go into Kroger to grocery shop to have to confront somebody with an assault weapon or a long gun,” Michele Mueller, with Moms Demand Action said.
WLWT asked Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine about the issue. He said it would have to be addressed by the state Legislature"
