Target Explains Their Gun Policy

In response to the Open Carry controversy plaguing Target stores, Mary Spider, the spokesperson for the retail giant recently held a press conference clarifying Target's position.

"We have received petitions from well-over 300,000 people all across the country in regard to their dislike of our store policy," she stated.  "However, Target will continue to allow open carry in our stores in those states that allow it."

When pressed on the issue, Spider lowered her voice and stated:

"Have you seen these guys?  They've got fucking guns.  Big ones. It's hard to say 'no' to that."

Spider ended the press conference without further comment.

Target Releases New Open Carry Friendly Ads

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."

Some of Target's new ads can be viewed below.

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