Earlier this week I responded, as I always do, to a request from the VCDL to email Kroger stores commending them on their stance on 2nd Amendment issues.
As far as I am concerned Kroger has it right and is good to go. Below is their response that I wanted to share with the VAGT crew.

Dear Valued Customer(that's me SFACH, I grew up with Kroger stores):

Thank you for contacting Kroger Customer Connect regarding our firearms policy. The safety of our customers and associates is one of our most important company values. Millions of customers are present in our busy grocery stores every day and we don't want to put our associates in a position of having to confront a customer who is legally carrying a gun. That is why our long-standing policy on this issue is to follow state and local laws and to ask customers to be respectful of others while shopping. We know that our customers are passionate on both sides of this issue and we trust them to be responsible in our stores.

We value your feedback and will ensure it reaches our Leadership Team.

Thank you for shopping with the Kroger Family of Stores.

Sincerely,
Maura
