In major shift, Walgreens and CVS ask customers to leave their guns outside

Five retailers have announced this week that they will start asking customers not to openly carry guns into their stores in states where open carry is legal.

The moves represent a major shift in the way retailers are positioning themselves in the gun debate. Walgreens WBA), CVS (CVS) and Wegmans announced the new policy Thursday afternoon, following announcements from Walmart WMT and Kroger (KR) on Wednesday.

We support the efforts of individuals and groups working to prevent gun violence, and continually review our policies and procedures to ensure our stores remain a safe environment .
