Does Walmart have any pharmacies they plan on closing?

But continuing to sell them in New Jersey?

In a lot of communities walmart is now the only retail business of substance. This will hurt access to ammo & firearms no doubt.

Just called Walmart C/S and explained to them why this LONG time customer has deleted both Walmart apps and will no longer be shopping there.....said I will not give them MY business if they kowtow to the leftists, rather than respecting the rights of law abiding citizens.

Call their customer service department and tell them just that.

I did.

It will be a by-state process. Example, here in MO, if they post the premise with a 10-12 sign with 1 inch block letters at every entrance restricting firearms, then anyone who open carries could be pinched for a felony. With a CCW, if they are detected and refuse to leave, and a peace officer is called, they could get a ticket or more situation dependent.

Some states hold signage as full force prohibitions, others not so much.

I will continue to carry concealed everywhere but federal facilities in MO. I do not go where I am restricted otherwise.

“Call their customer service department and tell them just that.”

I sent them an email a couple of weeks ago when I first heard the CEO saying we need to have a “discussion” on banning “assault weapons”. I told them to put their money where there mouth is and stop selling ammunition. Oops.

The soccer moms of “Everytown” must be all excited that WM made a pointless change that won’t effect them as most of them tend to be too “high class” to shop at a place like WM.

Almost as ridiculous as JC Penney thinking that gay people might actually shop there.

Long, short. Whatever it takes. I am down with the struggle. Just like with Nike after the Engelbert Kaeperdink saga...

They’re ‘asking’. LOL Unless the laws change radically, this won’t even register as a blip at my local Walmart here in Alabama. If someone calls a cop, the cops will just tell them, hey, open carry is permitted in this state. Abide by it.

Yep. it’s always cracked me up that these companies will cave to a mob of people that are not their demographic and will never be their demographic in any significant number whatsoever. The anti-gun crowd of soccer moms hate Walmart and everything they stand for for various reasons completely unrelated to them selling firearms. Despite what some of them will say “thank you Walmart and now I’ll be sure to patronize your stories to offset the ignorant redneck hicks that will not” will never happen.
