Can't remember that time I even bought any magazine. If I was to get the itchin, I doubt I'd be wandering around in/out of the Coco Puffs aisle searching for Soldier of Fortune.
Seriously, unless someone is an old fugg with gout just laying around....who the hell has the time or wants to read what is mostly garbage info and ad slickers? 5-8$ for a mag?
I guess if the hummingbirds are buzzin. Jeeze They don't have magazines in the marked down meat section

Pretty much a symbolic gesture - Kroger is showing its response to negative pressure from one or more anti-2nd groups, but the loss of gun magazine sales will be insignificant. How may firearms folks buy gun reading at supermarkets these days - when did you last do so? They probably will increase profit by replacing the gun magazines with some focused on quilting, or celebs, or useless feminist slants.
Now, if they lose steady customers and know it is due to that move - another story.

I shop at two grocery stores because Kroger stopped offering some brands and substitutes theirs. I do most of the cooking at our house and there's a difference, especially with food seasonings. I don't like Kroger meats either. Now I have a good reason to ditch them altogether. The Publix store is much more friendly, less crowded, and the manager likes to discuss shooting and guns with me. According to some other sites, Publix will also be pulling the gun magazines. You're right, just saw that. I'll know tomorrow about our Publix and find out what I can.

Just in case you wanted to know where NOT TO SHOP: Kroger operates more than 2,500 stores under more than two dozen different banners.

Hope you don't expect me to starve for the sake of making a political statement. I dont give a rat's patootie whether they sell AR mags or not. I have plenty and there are plenty of other places to buy them.

It didn't take long. Went this morning to Fry's and not a single gun periodical. Not only are they censoring what you can read they are trying to erase a culture and way of life.

I have always hated Fred Meyer and try not to shop there. It as said, I don’t buy gun rags. Am RiflemAn is more than enough.

The local grocery store has gun magazines, and the local bank has a raffle rife laying on a table you can pick up.
Back water?

Shopped at Publix this morning. No gun rags pulled yet but my manager friend was not there to talk to about it. ![[Linked Image]](https://s10.postimg.org/5y89kwas9/20180321_093802.jpg)
