Kroger is asking shoppers not to bring their unconcealed guns in stores - stopping short of banning the "open carry" of firearms in states like Ohio and Kentucky where it is legal.
The retailer also endorsed laws strengthening background checks and for keeping guns out of the hands of people deemed at risk of waging violence. Kroger didn't change its policy toward concealed weapons, which defers to local and state laws.
The Tuesday announcement comes after rival retailer Walmart made a similar declaration and follows a wave of mass shootings that have struck at both retailers and across America.
