Thats the Galleria. Its sales depends on wealthy travellers from Latin America and the Middle East. They won't care a whit or even notice.

Besides the Galleria ALREADY bans firearms there.
What I do predict is many mom and pop businesses including restaurants will see a rise in business from the law abiding. I have heard in San Antonio there are several places already catering to this group and ready for their businesses. I have already let HEB know I am shopping at Krogers for now on.
Point taken.
Do I like 30.07? No. Will I try to avoid places that post it if I have other options. Yes.
Will I always, henceforth, only OC? Of course not. Being able to choose is a good thing and there are some places I'd prefer CC (the seats in movie theaters fit me better when I'm carrying SOB or 5/5:30 IWB and OWB OC wouldn't be comfortable there - a shoulder holster might, but to avoid "muzzle scare" I'd be wearing an overshirt, jacket, etc. if I did that).
Certain public functions might go better concealed. The best part is that now I don't have to worry about CC vs. OC for the majority of places I'll end up going.

Until you OC in Kroger and they throw you out.
Agreed. I'll definitely be looking for alternate places as signs pop up. I won't get militant about it, but 30.X = you don't really want my money (or you want someone else's more). Fair enough... your decision... but helps me make mine.
I wish it were possible to make a "no unarmed people allowed" variant - if you don't have a gun, you can't come in here...
I'd spend too much money at places that posted THAT one. Kroger already said they won't be doing this. They'll allow carry to the extent of local laws.

No one has complained yet.
Kroger has already stated their policy. I wouldn't expect it to change. They have stores in other OC states already so they're not knee-jerking.

We're just going to have to agree to disagree on that. I imagine a few more antics from the OC crowd, and there will be signs coming up everywhere.
Krogers said they will not.

And? Things change. If all their competition does they will too.
Bull corn! As there numbers go up, or will not be a thought

Lets be real for a second. The people who would not go there
1. Amount to a statistically insignificant amount.
2. Have to eat. So far, HEB, Whole Foods, and Safeway has said they would. That leaves Kroger, and Randalls correct? Brookshire Bros as well but thats a small town locale. If the OCT has a few antics then they will likely change their tune as well. And the OCTers need their antics.
Thats my opinion. We can agree to disagree.
Wal-Mart. And my little mexican groceries... and Fiesta.

Thanks! I knew Randalls was owned by one of the big chains. That means they'll go the Safeway route too.
Should also add Target to that too.
