The Piggly Wiggly in Oconto Falls is posted also. The sign was from the AGA.

I believe we had a communication from Piggly Corporate telling their members to NOT post.

On Point Question....???

Ok, now I am wondering if I (we) enter a grocery store that is posted how do we know if it is actual store policy or just them posting based on...

The stores were given the signs by the American Grocers Assoc. and were told by THEM they had to post them as well as all businesses in WI.

Is there any AGA markings on the signs or would it be pertinent to go to the manager and ask the question..." Is the posting actual store (corporate) policy of just "instuctions" from whatever organization supplied the signs. This might open a door of opportunity to discuss with the manager the reality and consiquences of posting the sign ... ???

Thoughts..??

Who is the American Grocers Association "AGA"? A web search doesn't show any such organization. The anti 2nd Admendment and right to self defense message is disturbing. Does Blain's Farm and Fleet sell groceries? :banghead:

I was also searching futilely for the organization. If someone would post a picture of the sign maybe we could clear this up, because that association is a bit overactive on the anti activity front to suit me.

IT might be the NGA National Grocers Assoc I could not find AGA sorry I'm 60% deaf and was in a hospital waiting room filling out paper work while talking to this guy. I ain't as good as I once was !But I'm as good once as I ever was....

Maybe this... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

While waiting for my annual Dr.visit in MKE my cell rings and it's who else but Econo foods corporate ! I was told the signs have been removed from the Clintonville stores and all the store in WI were told NOT TO POST. The signs were apparently sent to the individual stores by the American Grocers Association and were told by them that all business's in WI must be posted or will be posted he wasn't sure what he was told by the manager in Clintonville.I told him of the NO Guns = No Business Cards and he said please no ! we don't need bad publicity business is tight enough. He said thanks for bringing it to his attention and he was going to call a few others who had emailed him.
I will be sending him a copy of Act 35 shortly as he is in MI.

There is a Wisconsin Grocers Association. Could be more likely to come from a state group, since it concerns a state law change.... FWIW, the WI Grocers didn't take a position on any of the carry bills.

Funny, I found this on the Wisconsin Grocers Association. They helped campaign to get republicans in office. If this was them apparently they don't share the 2A values.
