Bloomberg and other leftist news outfits are trying to read into Target’s statement about bringing guns into their stores even in areas where you are legally OK to do so. Dana Loesch of the Blaze covers this leftist media lie perfectly. Here is Target’s statement about guns:

| No Bloomberg, Target is NOT banning guns |

The leadership team has been weighing a complex issue, and I want to be sure everyone understands our thoughts and ultimate decision.
As you’ve likely seen in the media, there has been a debate about whether guests in communities that permit “open carry” should be allowed to bring firearms into Target stores. Our approach has always been to follow local laws, and of course, we will continue to do so. But starting today we will also respectfully request that guests not bring firearms to Target – even in communities where it is permitted by law.
We’ve listened carefully to the nuances of this debate and respect the protected rights of everyone involved. In return, we are asking for help in fulfilling our goal to create an atmosphere that is safe and inviting for our guests and team members.
This is a complicated issue, but it boils down to a simple belief: Bringing firearms to Target creates an environment that is at odds with the family-friendly shopping and work experience we strive to create.
While Target may prefer those legally entitled to have their guns on them not bring them inside their stores, do you see anywhere in the Target statement that says they are actaully banning them? Do you see anything in the statement that says if you bring a gun, you will be kicked out of Target? Nope.
As usual, the media is fabricated this story into some sort of big win for the anti-Second Amendment fascist left. Sorry, it’s merely a request by Target of their customers, not a new store rule.
