If there’s one thing that serious gun owners hold dear, it’s their commitment to try and avoid retailers and establishments that are anti-gun. We’ve seen lists in the past, but times change. And so do opinions.
Guns Down America is an organization looking to influence businesses across the Country, pressuring them into enacting policies that would align them with their own beliefs; less guns, because guns are bad.
Their grading system, for them, looks just as it would in school. An ‘A’ is good, but an ‘F’ is bad.
Here is their goal, in a nutshell:
For our purposes, as gun owners, we’re looking to the ‘failing’ grades as the better ones, as these are the companies that have not given into the gun control talk and debate. They’ve held strong to keep their beliefs in the 2nd Amendment.
What this list is for us: A list of places to shop at, and a list to avoid.
GRADE A
- KROGER 95 A
- OLD NAVY 90 A
- WALMART 90 A
Kroger used to be on the side of gun owners, but was swayed largely in part by Moms Demand Action. Let’s not forget the stories that we’ve covered where armed citizens have stopped serious crimes from happening on Kroger property.
Walmart is another who has had multiple occasions, that we’ve covered, clearly showing armed citizens defending themselves and others at Walmart locations. Like this story, and this one. And this one. Oh, and this one. One more. And here. There are more, but you get the point.
But still, by all means, enact ‘no gun’ policies so that customers and employees are fish in a barrel.
GRADE B
- AMAZON 80 B
- COSTCO 80 B
- NORDSTROM 80 B
- STARBUCKS 80 B
- TARGET 80 B
- TRADER JOE’S 80 B
- WHOLE FOODS 80 B
GRADE C
- WAFFLE HOUSE 70 C
GRADE D
- TJ MAXX 65 D
- BUFFALO WILD WINGS 60 D
GRADE F
- CHICK-FIL-A 45 F

- JOS. A. BANK 20 F
- KOHL’S 20 F
- NIKE 10 F
- LOWE’S 0 F
- HOME DEPOT 0 F
The above ‘F’ list is compiled of the locations you’ll want to support with your hard-earned dollars. They allow the carrying of firearms, don’t call for gun control, and understand the importance of the 2nd Amendment and what it stands for.
They understand the right to self-defense, and they understand the clear fact that the ONLY people who are criminals… are the actual problem.
