The companys director of public relations Alison Mochizuki told Forbes that while the chain prefers that shoppers leave weapons of any kind at home, they follow local gun laws:In general, at Trader Joes, the policies we create and follow are for ourselves and cover our own behavior. We have an explicit policy that prohibits our Crew Members (employees) from possessing firearmsor any other type of weaponwhile performing job duties, while on company property, or while at company-related events. We do not presume to control our customers behavior through grocery store policy.Our approach has always been to follow local laws; for example, New Mexico specifically prohibits open carry in stores that sell alcohol for off-site consumption. In Texas, we follow a new change in the law (Section 30.07, effective Jan. 1, 2016), maintaining what has been in place: basically, openly carried handguns will not be allowed in Trader Joes stores in Texas.We feel gun policy should be addressed by governmental and law enforcement agencies.To be clear, we do not welcome weapons of any kind in our stores and never have. While there are laws in place allowing for openly carrying firearms, we would very much prefer that customers not bring guns into our stores.We acknowledge and respect the rights of everyone involved in this important, often emotionally charged, debate. As we do with other important issues related to our business, we listen to our customers and Crewand use the feedback we receive in our decision making.In other words, Everytown is lying.

From WaPo:
The man who jumped over the White House fence and sprinted through the main floor of the mansion could have gotten even farther had it not been for an off-duty Secret Service agent who was coincidentally in the house and leaving for the night.
The agent who finally tackled Omar Gonzalez had been serving on the security detail for President Obama’s daughters and had just seen the family depart via helicopter minutes earlier. He happened to be walking through the house when chaos broke out and the intruder dashed through the main foyer, according to two people familiar with the incident.
Multiple layers of security fail at the most famous residence in the country?

Agents didn’t fire because they assumed he was unarmed? Assumed he wasn’t wearing explosives, too?

Who’s in charge here?
So the White House is basically being protected by Campus Security.

Thank goodness that guy was around. Still, we’d feel much better if the White House called in the big guns:
