Aldi announced on Twitter last night that they are asking that customers do not openly carry firearms in their stores. This statement comes after a wave of other companies —including Walmart, Kroger and Walgreens — revamped their gun policies.

In their statement, the German grocer famous for their store-brand products said they "are asking that our customers refrain from openly displaying firearms in any of our stores, except for authorized law enforcement personnel."

This is open carry, not concealed. No sign posted on my local Aldi and I was just there this morning.

I go to 3 different Aldi. I've never seen a sign.

I believe many of them used to post. Then a customer with a CHL saved the day when one of their employees was held at gunpoint. I recall they actually brought down their signs after that. I haven't seen a sign anywhere since then.

I've been in a few in my local area, and a couple of them in Fl, and I've never seen any of them posted.

I had forgotten about that. Thanks for the reminder.

Up until 2011 when I left Ohio the Stow Aldi was posted.

Frankly, I'm not surprised, since Aldi is a German owned company and they are definitely not personal protection empathetic.
