[ignoring the childish ad hominem attacks]:

Please explain how concealed carry violates your 2A rights.

Any arbitrary restriction is a violation of 2A. As the well-known gun rights philosopher and NRA board member, Ted Nugent, says: The second amendment IS my carry permit. Maggot!

Okay I added the "maggot" part, but he did say the first part.

As Ben Shapiro would say, I don't care about your "feeling" that open carry is offensive and might hypothetically cause crowds of millennials to stampede, killing minorities, small children and animals. Your "feelings" are a product of your deficient education and snowflake upbringing. It's sad, really sad that you are so Woke you can't imagine someone not being ashamed of exercising their 2nd amendment right to openly carry a firearm.

The way I see it, people with common sense quietly PREPARE OURSELVES for any *scenario* that could arise, but *quietly* go about our business without drawing attention to ourselves.

The 2A is designed to guarantee the citizenry the right to rise up against abuses by a tyrannical government. Exercising the right to carry, both concealed and openly, is how we confront those who might restrict our rights before succeeding generations lose the ability to remember why we have them.

“Any arbitrary restriction is a violation of 2A..”

Bullishit. A simple request not to display, brandish, or point a weapon at others in a public place *unless* a self defense situation *requires* you to pull out your gun & *use* it, is NOT an ARBITRARY restriction, and in no way violates your 2A right to *carry* a weapon OR defend yourself & others.

Following your line of reasoning, you’d object even if Walmart required you to keep your weapon holstered——because you regard ANY request for SELF restraint as a violation of YOUR apparently unlimited right to hold your cocked & loaded gun in your hand & wave it around should YOU decide YOU want to assert YOUR 2A rights in such manner.

I’ve lived in areas among idiots with your exact mantra— Dont tell ME what I can’t do! Any expectation of SELF restraint might cause ME to violate my own RIGHTS!!!
These idiots nsist on celebrating New Year & 4th of July by indiscriminately firing into the air.
Innocent people have been killed.

Bottom line is, Walmart is not the government, it’s a business & has a right to enact policies aimed at maintaining a drama-free shopping experience for *all* its customers, whether or not their views align with yours.
If Walmarr doesn’t want its employees’ time wasted by drama queens like yourself who *feel* you *need* to protest a non-existent “violation” of your rights, the company has a right to kick you out, same as they’d have the right to kick out Antifa.
Walmart us for shopping, not for staging protests or provoking & getting in disputes with other shoppers, requiring their employees to intervene.
Get over yourself.
