Joining Dick’s Sporting Goods and Walmart, Kroger-owned Fred Meyer is raising the minimum age to buy a gun in its stores to 21.
The company said it had already stopped selling assault-style weapons several years ago (except in its Alaska store, which will now stop selling them.)
Kroger said “recent events demonstrate the need for additional action.”
Fred Meyer has stores in both Ballard and Greenwood.
Fred Meyer also has a store in Lake City, and none of the three Seattle stores sell guns at all.
