So does that mean we get to demand to see the store's written policy before we leave?

I almost thought it was a Tacoma officer kicked out of the Renton location, and the news just screwed up cities and locations.
I really don't think Ikea should exclude anyone based on their decision to be prepared to protect their family and self, but at the same time as a private business they have the right to make those rules. If we say a private business can't make one rule, we open the door to them not being able to make any other rules. Gotta take the good with the bad I guess.

Takoma Park is a POS suburb of DC, in Maryland.
Had an officer from that dep't outright lie to get a warrant for me. The judge tossed the case in a heartbeat, then yelled at the city prosecutor and the officer for blatantly lying in reports.. The pictures that they took of me were completely opposite of what was written in the report, proving that they were lying about the entire thing..
They're not only corrupt, they're dumb. If you're gonna lie on a report to get someone arrested, don't take pictures that completely disprove your allegations.
I know of multiple situations of rape allegations, DUI stops turned into rapes, stalking, 'tickets' being paid for in cash on the spot, etc.

Would they have asked the police to leave their guns behind if there were a criminal in the store?

Just one tinee, tiny, eensie, weensie, little problem with that.
DC, a basically gun-free zone of all sorts.
