"Publix now allows open carry"
The responses ranged from "who cares" to "I've always concealed carry anyway", even though the old official statement from Publix was they "respectfully ask customers not bring firearms into the store". The irony of their disregard of the that request was completely lost on them.

I didn't engage with any of them, but achieved my goal getting the information out there, as the post has been seen by 8000+.
