Despite the public uproar over allowing Open Carry advocates to openly carry firearms in their stores, Target took a different approach. They recently released several ads highlighting open carry.
"We want Target to be the safest store in America," said Mary Spider, the Target spokesperson. "To do so, we are turning to Open Carry advocates. Their presence in our stores makes us all feel a little safer."
Open Carry advocate Elizabeth Borden agreed. "Whenever I go into Target without my weapons, people creep on me. Especially in the Lego aisle. Girls can like Lego too, you know."
"When I open carry," said advocate Harry Callahan, "I always get what I want. That last box of Oreos? They're mine."
These ads are just a few in the new series. "We are trying to get Rachael Ray and Nate Berkus to open carry in our stores together," said Spider. "That would be awesome."

UPDATE: Target just released a clarification of their gun policy.
