She is even madder that the store refuses to post the store against carry.<\/p>\n<p>The store is question is a Harris-Teeter grocery store located in one of the nicer areas of Greensboro. I&#8217;ve shopped at this store many a time and affectionately call it the Taj MahTeeter because it is so large and so upscale. It is located in a shopping area that has REI, Ann Taylor, Talbot&#8217;s, and Brooks Brothers among other upscale stores.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think you need to bring your gun into a grocery store, a shopping center, and I&#8217;m a little peeved that Harris Teeter can&#8217;t put up a sign that says no arms, concealed or otherwise, allowed in the store,&#8221; Fullington said Wednesday in her home explaining that she has decided to no longer shop with the grocery store chain. It&#8217;s an about-face for a woman who&#8217;s been a Harris Teeter faithful for years.<\/p>\n<p><b>&#8220;I&#8217;m not joking, I&#8217;m not going there. I think it&#8217;s dangerous to shop there,&#8221; she said incredibly. &#8220;I just can&#8217;t imagine that they want people in their stores, it&#8217;s dangerous! I mean, those people, I don&#8217;t know who is trained and who isn&#8217;t&#8221;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>And Lee Atkinson is fighting right along with her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a place I go all the time, so I can&#8217;t solve all the places where people are with guns but I can start where I shop,&#8221; Atkinson said.<\/p>\n<p>This past summer, lawmakers in Raleigh expanded the concealed carry law which now allows guns in bars, restaurants and other areas unless the owner forbids it.<\/p>\n<p><b>&#8220;I don&#8217;t want to be in a place where people are packing a lot of guns. I don&#8217;t want the possibility of bullets whizzing past my head,&#8221; <\/b>added Atkinson.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I am reminded of the <a href=\"http:\/\/quoteinvestigator.com\/2013\/02\/10\/where-money-is\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quote attributed to bank robber Willie Sutton<\/a> who when asked why he robbed banks said, &#8220;I rob banks because that&#8217;s where the money is.&#8221;&nbsp; I wonder if Lisa Fullington and Lee Atkinson realize upscale areas make great targets for thieves &#8220;because that&#8217;s where the money is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digtriad.com\/video\/default.aspx?bctid=2813172227001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">see their little hissy fit here<\/a>. <a href=\"http:\/\/bearingarms.com\/gun-hating-old-biddies-shocked-their-two-person-boycott-is-failing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bob Owens calls them<\/a> &#8220;two self-important, self-absorbed gun haters&#8221; and I have to agree.
