The corporate giant sold out to the highest bidder.
Doesn’t bother me at all. I have never gone to Walmart for my shooting needs.
Plaster the American flag EVERWHERE, then spit on the Constitution..?
Yeah, let’s go ahead and SEE how that works out.
Let’s JUST SEE.
See video of man in Walmart in Lexington, Ky just “banned from EVERY Walmart store” just for open carrying. Notice how the Lexington police blame HIM because THEY had to come out:
(Moderators, apologies, I don’t post much and not sure about the rules, etc. on links)
You know, if I had some spare time and was looking for a little bit of entertainment, I’d go to a WM, load up the cart to overflowing with cigarettes, beer, wine, a few household chemicals and pool chemicals, and then go ask a sales associate in sporting goods to get me some 9mm, .45 ACP and some 5.56 mm ammo. When he/she refused to sell me any, I’d ask for the manager. When the manager explained that WM doesn’t sell those products anymore, I’d ask, “Well, why not? I’ve been buying them here for years.” He’d probably say that it is corporate policy, but I’d keep pressing for the underlying reason (they’re too dangerous, people could be killed with them). Upon hearing that, I’d point to my basket and say, “So can every single item in my shopping cart. But in the interest of public safety, I’m not going to buy them and put these lethal products on the street.” At which point I would just leave.
What fun that would be if it happened in every WM 2 or 3 times a week. They’d not only have to spend a not so small fortune having associates put the products back on the shelves, but pretty soon higher level WM management would understand that they are losing a ton of money because they were a bunch of cowards for giving into the lunatic Left.
Sears, Wards, K-Mart, Penneys, Woolworths, Otasco, TG&Y, Firestone, Target and many others used to sell guns and ammo, then they quit. Now they are gone or going, except for Target.
Will Walmart be on the way “out” next?
Bump! Very thoughtful and entertaining video!
Next time I’m in Walmart I’m going to ask a manager why they have so many dangerous chemicals, drugs, alcohol, etc in easy reach of children.

That sounds like a great idea. Would love to see it put in place all across the USA.
About 18-20 years ago, I bought a bolt action 30-06 rifle at Walmart, took it to a gun specialist, bought a Leupold scope {paid the same for the gun as the scope, both about $500} and had them mount and adjust the scope.
Been using it for the entire time, and it is wonderful for whitetail deer.
I buy most of my guns at ACE in Washington County, where every one in the store is open carrying, and the people know everything you want to know about guns. It is the safest store in Western PA.
I am not going to complain about Walmart banning open carry {because I carry concealed, 99% of the time} but I will continue to carry at Walmart.
Concealed carry is still valid, isn’t it?
Yes, but they “discourage” it. So I’m encouraged to get my ammo from Rural King or the local gun shops.
The left cannot effect a repeal on 2a. They’ve been burned on inrementalism, even as they try to “read my lips” Trump on this issue.
They know they’re about to lose on the facts in the Supreme Court and that loss will cement 2a rights in case law. So they’ve threatened the court and are trying to bias it through ginning up a show of false “public opinion” throgh polls, reactions to shootings, and these events from big business. No coincidence; this IS collusion.
A case can now be made that in concert these businesses have harmed citizens by making normal commerce impossible to them, no different than if they banned recognizable Hindus or Baptists.
In Michigan, see MCL 750.151; these organizations, by the coordinated effort to impede the sales of legal commodities, are committing criminal conspiracy.
Not that our current state AG is likely to act but a count PA would be well advised to consider timely action, and any members of the MI bar friendly to 2a ought to be looking for injured parties.
Hey, they opened the can on lawfare; let them reap it.
Just buy a lifetime supply of ammo online or at your local gun store.
Do not need Walmart.
We conceal carried in a Walmart the other day. No prob. But our pistols are very well hidden.
