I banned Wal-mart for numerous reasons and switched to target. I find this info above very upsetting. I boycotted united way when they banned the boy scouts stance on homosexuality. Do you have any more information on this ban by Target? Soon I'll be doing all my shopping at 7-11

it's been a few years since i found out, but i'll find the info and PM you.

from the Target website... however donations and support of local groups are seperate info in my mind....

seems they've addressed the issue though.

and they aren't a "french" company that's a bad unsubstantiated claim..

I don't remember all of the exact wording, but I do remember that it says guns are prohibited unless you possess a concealed handgun license. I'm thinking that whoever went to the trouble to specify that CHL's are okay is probably friendly to them. It's the only Target I've seen that has a sign like this, though.

Target won't allow Veterans groups/ Boy scouts/ Gril Scouts/ Military/ or any association linked to such to use their parking lot for fund raisers of any kind... and not just standing at the door asking for money etc... They have a store policy which specifically stops certain groups and not all.. i no longer shop there.

I've seen several "small shops" that have a CHL holders welcome signs...

there's a print shop in Wichita Falls
there's a small time oil change place that was in Ft. Worth (not sure if it's still open, it was on white settlement rd.)

I'm sure there are more... haven't seen any in Mesquite yet, but if i see one i'll let everyone know.
