spec5 Posted July 2, 2014 at 11:46 PM Share Posted July 2, 2014 at 11:46 PM Does anyone have solid information about Target? Is this just "open carry" or does it include concealed carry?The solid information is I don't see any signs on ours.This is being discussed in two other forums.http://illinoiscarry.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=50161&hl=targethttp://illinoiscarry.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=50162&hl=target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xwing Posted July 3, 2014 at 02:09 PM Share Posted July 3, 2014 at 02:09 PM Does anyone have solid information about Target? Is this just "open carry" or does it include concealed carry? I haven't seen any posted, and I very much doubt they will. I called corporate and had a good discussion. They do not plan to post (although of course any decision could change at any time.)

Trevis Posted July 4, 2014 at 03:06 AM Share Posted July 4, 2014 at 03:06 AM Dominos Pizza was posted in Urbana. Looks like I can cross that junk food off my list. Good motivation to eat healthier anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mancow1201 Posted July 5, 2014 at 11:31 PM Share Posted July 5, 2014 at 11:31 PM The Village Tavern and Grill in Schaumburg is now posted. That's so sad, that place is GREAT. My sister in law is a manager there, said they posted because guns and liquor don't mix. They keep going back and forth on the matter but the sign is still up. I know for sure the owner is pro gun so I don't understand? Tony's Finer Foods in Hanover Park is now posted too. Its a new sign, I didn't have any cards on me, but my wife was near there and went in and talked to a manager and gave him a card. She told them we will not shop there anymore and he was Shocked. I am going to stop In and talk to them too next time I'm near there. I did write a letter on the web site, not expecting a response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Posted July 6, 2014 at 03:44 PM Share Posted July 6, 2014 at 03:44 PM I noticed an odd one. There is an outpatient clinic for Good Samaritan Hospital near my house that was posted, as I think it should be because it is a healthcare facility. I took a photo and posted it on the POSTED app so I know it was posted. The sign is now gone although I don't think it changes anything as it should still be a prohibited place.

Kaeghl Posted July 6, 2014 at 04:10 PM Share Posted July 6, 2014 at 04:10 PM Coming back from the Ren faire along 173, we stopped in at a roadside market set up on VonBergen's farm. The entrance to the indoor market had a non-compliant sign next to it. We tried the door to see if anyone was around, but apparently they had just closed up.

LYU370 Posted July 7, 2014 at 09:24 PM Share Posted July 7, 2014 at 09:24 PM Tony's Finer Foods in Hanover Park is now posted too. Its a new sign, I didn't have any cards on me, but my wife was near there and went in and talked to a manager and gave him a card. She told them we will not shop there anymore and he was Shocked. I am going to stop In and talk to them too next time I'm near there. I did write a letter on the web site, not expecting a response. Yeah, I noticed that over the weekend. Went there to grab some stuff for a BBQ and stopped right at the door, turned around and went back to my car since I was carrying. Would have gone back in to talk with the manager, but was running late. Will be posting on their website as well when I get a chance to come up with a letter. It's too bad, liked that store, usually stopped in at least once a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mancow1201 Posted July 8, 2014 at 12:30 AM Share Posted July 8, 2014 at 12:30 AM Another small victory...Tony's Finer Foods in Hanover Park is no longer posted! I even got a reply to my email. I also talked to a manager yesterday and he told me it wasn't his decision to put it up and said 2 other people gave him cards too, and he will pass it along. It pays to stop and talk, send emails, and give out those cards. Numbers make the difference. Sorry for some reason I cant past the reply email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYU370 Posted July 8, 2014 at 03:15 AM Share Posted July 8, 2014 at 03:15 AM Great to hear. I just sent them an email before I logged on here. Glad to hear they changed their mind. Now is it just this Tony's? Or are the others taking down the signs as well? Here's the message I posted on their web contact form: I was at your Hanover Park store over the weekend and was rather surprised by what I saw. On the way into the store I was stopped at the door by your no guns allowed sign. While I don't always carry, I have been carrying off and on since I received my concealed carry license and to this date, not surprisingly, nothing has ever happened. While I like shopping at your store, I usually stop in at least once a week, I can no longer in good conscience support a store that does not support the constitution of the United States and thinks that law abiding gun owners are criminals. You do realize that criminals will ignore your sign and come right in with their illegal firearms. Just for your information, in order to get my Illinois Concealed Carry license, I've had my background checked by the Streamwood Police department, the Cook County Sheriff, the Illinois State Police, the FBI and the BATF. And none of them had any concerns with me carrying a concealed firearm. Can you say the same about your other customers? If you change your mind and decide to take down the silly sign, I will gladly return to your store with my hard earned money. In the mean time, I will take my business and my money to your competitors in the area that don't label law abiding gun owners as criminals. Thank you.

LYU370 Posted July 8, 2014 at 01:32 PM Share Posted July 8, 2014 at 01:32 PM Here's the email response I received back this morning: Thank you for taking the time to contact us, we always appreciate customer feedback. We value all of our customers and employees, which is why we made this decision in the first place. Keeping our stores as safe as possible is a top priority for us. After receiving similar feedback from several customers, we decided yesterday afternoon to remove our signage prohibiting the carrying of firearms. We apologize if our previous decision offended you in anyway. That is the last thing we would want to do. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Have a nice day And here's another message I just sent them back: Thank you for the reply to my previous message and your change in policy in regards to firearms at the Hanover Park store. Does this policy apply to just the Hanover Park store? Or does it apply to all Tony's locations as I have heard from friends that your Elston Ave. & Belmont Ave. stores in Chicago are also posted. If this policy applies to ALL stores, I will happily begin shopping again at your store. Thanks You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYU370 Posted July 8, 2014 at 04:02 PM Share Posted July 8, 2014 at 04:02 PM And here is the reply: This policy applies to all of our locations. It was put into effect yesterday.

Sigma Posted July 9, 2014 at 11:42 PM Share Posted July 9, 2014 at 11:42 PM I guess that would be our next target, should their corporate offie think posting is a good thing do they then think that the people in the suburb mariano's are less important to protect with that silly sign?

Mr. Fife Posted July 10, 2014 at 12:04 AM Share Posted July 10, 2014 at 12:04 AM Usually the stores have a service desk and there is usually a picture of the store manager with his or her name posted underneath. I wonder if it would be a good strategy to take a picture of the manager and name, and post it here with the store's phone number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a few in Chicago. I bet you'll find that the Chicago locations are posted in compliance with the CHICAGO ORDINANCE that requires any store with a liquor license to post......beer, wine & liquor @ Marianos?......don't know....never been in one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borgranta Posted July 10, 2014 at 03:59 AM Share Posted July 10, 2014 at 03:59 AM One could argue that posting the official signage is misogynistic since it renders women virtually defenseless against rape, kidnapping, murder and any other forcible felony.

borgranta Posted July 10, 2014 at 04:08 AM Share Posted July 10, 2014 at 04:08 AM Someone should complain to Mariano's corporate that all their stores in the city of Chicago is posted as gun free zones and that the corporation may end up on the hook for lawsuits if CCW licensees are harmed due to being disarmed. The corporation may want to Chicago if the posting is due to the new law that Chicago put in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
