"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."
So basically, go ahead and bring your firearms in, but we don't want you to bring them in even when we know for sure that it's a legal activity. We want everyone to know we don't want firearms in our store so that when someone sees a firearm they KNOW you are doing something wrong thus increasing the probability of trouble or harassment. But go ahead and bring them in anyways because we want your money, just know that we don't want you here.
All target had to do was say "We will follow the laws of the state and nobody is going to sway our opinion otherwise" Then everyone would have F'd off but they had to bow down and say something to satisfy the Bloomtards.
