ATLANTA (AP) A gun control organization is pressuring Kroger to ban the open carrying of guns in its grocery stores. <br />
<br />
A group called "Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America" recently protested outside a Kroger in DeKalb County. They are asking Kroger management to forbid the open carrying of firearms in its businesses. <br />
<br />
WSB-TV reports the protesters cut up their Kroger discount cards outside a DeKalb County store and handed managers a petition signed by more than 270,000 people. <br />
<br />
Kroger says it follows state and local laws, which permit shoppers to carry a gun. <br />
