Kroger announced last night it is requesting customers to no longer openly carry firearms into its stores, even in states where open carry is legal.

The announcement comes just hours after Walmart made a similar announcement.

Kroger, like Walmart, also said it would add its voice to the growing number of corporations calling on elected officials to pass gun reform laws, such as requiring stronger background checks.

“Kroger has demonstrated with our actions that we recognize the growing chorus of Americans who are no longer comfortable with the status quo and who are advocating for concrete and common sense gun reforms,” the company said in a statement.
