    Default Three positive encounters at Giant in Souderton today

    I don't know how you other guys always end up in these horrible altercations and such, because today was a typical grocery store trip for me, which means that I was OC, and had several positive encounters.

    First was a lad stocking produce, who told me about his recent purchase of a sig 229.

    Second was a lady stocking ziploc bags or something, who looked at me, smiled, and said, "nice gun."

    Last was a fellow customer in the check-out aisle, who told me all about how her husband loves to go shooting, and wants to buy another gun, and she said, "hey, if he enjoys it, why not?"

    I thought, "You should teach classes for wives of PAFOA."

    All that, and I was $20 under budget for groceries this week.

    Good to hear. Is that the giant on cowpath rd? I go to that one all the time but always cc. I wondered what response I'd get in my usual supermarket.

    It makes me smile when I hear that a lot of fellow Americans are not falling for the anti-gun propaganda, and are enjoying and supporting liberty.

    No, I guess it's technically what they call Hilltown, on 113.

    A friend of mine was in a local Giant in Allentown and there were signs on the door about no guns allowed. I emailed their customer support and was given this reply back today.....

    to me
    Hello Joseph,


    Thank you for your feedback regarding Giant’s No Weapons Policy.



    As a business we do not have a position on this issue other than to provide a safe, secure and comfortable shopping environment for our Company's associates, customers and visitors to our premises. Just as our associates are prohibited from carrying weapons on Company property or while on Company business, customers and visitors (other than law enforcement and other authorized security personnel) are prohibited from carrying weapons, including firearms, while shopping in our stores. We welcome gun owners to shop in our stores, just not while they are carrying their firearm. We have shared your feedback with our management.

    Thanks, again, for contacting us. We appreciate hearing from you.


    Sincerely,


    Nancy Sabella
    Customer Care Representative
