Price Chopper Statement on Open Carry

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. –

The safety of our customers and associates is a top priority. As we’ve seen in recent situations across the country, open carry can be misinterpreted and lead to unintended consequences. Therefore, Price Chopper respectfully requests that shoppers no longer openly carry firearms in our stores – unless they are authorized law enforcement officers. Our policy in regards to concealed carry has not changed, and we will continue to treat law-abiding customers with respect.
