A New Giant Food Carry Thread

**ungawa** · June 20th, 2011, 08:05 PM

Anybody think this recent member has reliable info about Giant having a policy against carry?

The point I am bringing up only includes the first post on the first page and most of the posts on the second page.

I would call them myself, but my policy is not to harass businesses to take positions on issues that they shouldn't need to have policies about in the first place. I wanted to send feelers out to see if there are any other indications before bugging them.

I've seen consistent reports of this very policy when inquiries are made, and I'm also aware of numerous individuals (myself included) regularly open carrying at Giant stores with no issues. It seems that while they do have a formal policy, it's rarely enforced.

My local store has no signs posted.

I have been OC'ing in Giant for about 2 months now. No problems so far, and have checked the entrance doors, No signs.

i oc at the giant in broomall and have never had a problem, done it quite a few times in the past 3 months.

About once a week I OC in the Giant near Colonial Park; No signs; no encounters;

Ahold USA is Giant's parent company. Both companies might have the same policy or they might not. I don't see why we want to ask if we can or cannot protect ourselves in stores.

Never caught you there when I have OC'd in there about once every two months for the past few years. But I also have been OCing at least twice a week in other Giants in the area for a few years.

In Virginia, I shop at Martin's which is owned by Giant. No signs, and no one has ever said a word to me while OC'ing.

Hell, the baggers keep asking me for business cards!

I have been open carrying in the Giant on Lititz Pike in Manheim Township for more than 4 years. Never once did anyone question me or ask me to leave.
