The group has targeted Trader Joe&#8217;s on a national level along with groceries on local levels.<\/p>\n<p>The group has repeatedly petitioned grocery stores and restaurant chains, sometimes successfully, to adopt or make public existing anti-gun policies. These businesses include Albertsons, Chipotle, Chili&#8217;s, Jack in the Box, Safeway, Starbucks, and Target. They have also attempted to restrict pro-gun groups on social media including Facebook and Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>Recently Moms Demand announced that they were involved with a no-open-carry policy adopted by Trader Joe&#8217;s in Texas and are now asking that the rest of the stores across the country adopt the same policy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In many parts of our country, customers can still shop for pot-stickers and Joe-Joe&#8217;s cookies at Trader Joe\u2019s side by side with someone openly carrying a loaded firearm,&#8221; said group spokeswoman Shannon Watts. &#8220;We are asking Trader Joe\u2019s to take its Texas gun sense policy nationwide by prohibiting the open carry of firearms at all its stores.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>See Also:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/kroger-cfo-on-moms-demand-actions-protests-we-follow-local-laws\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"moms-demand-action-targets-trader-joes\" title=\"Moms Demand Action Targets Trader Joe's\">Kroger CFO on Moms Demand Action\u2019s Protests: \u2018We Follow Local Laws\u2019<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The Bloomberg-affiliated group, part of Everytown for Gun Safety, hasn&#8217;t always succeeded at changing store policy. The gun control group saw a major loss after it was rejected by Kroger last year. Kroger, the country&#8217;s largest supermarket chain, maintains a policy to follow all local gun laws including those that protect open- and concealed-carry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If the local gun laws are to allow open carry, we\u2019ll certainly allow customers to do that based on what the local laws are,&#8221; said Kroger CFO Michael Schlotman in response to Moms Demand&#8217;s petition. &#8220;We don\u2019t believe it\u2019s up to us to legislate what the local gun control laws should be. It\u2019s up to the local legislators to decide to do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So we follow local laws [and] we ask our customers to be respectful to the other people they are shopping with,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And we really haven\u2019t had any issues inside of our stores as a result of that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The group is currently working in Connecticut to try to flip Kroger policy on a state level, although it&#8217;s not clear if they will see any great success there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[The]\u00a0Connecticut Food Association is actually leading that dialogue with our members, they will make decisions based on what&#8217;s best for their businesses,&#8221; Wayne Pesce, the association&#8217;s president, <a href=\"https:\/\/fox61.com\/2016\/01\/21\/moms-demand-action-pushes-boycott-of-supermarkets-that-allow-guests-to-carry-guns\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"moms-demand-action-targets-trader-joes\" title=\"Moms Demand Action Targets Trader Joe's\">reports Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the past Moms Demand Action has taken credit for some store policies asking customers not to bring their guns into their stores, even when those stores already had no-carry policies in place.
