How exactly does Walmart enforce a ban like that? They going to put his picture in every Walmart by the registers?

This is 2019. Facial recognition is very good now. The security cameras watch everyone coming into their store.
The program alerts security, who then directs the identified person to leave.

That's assuming a lot. The dirty little secret is a lot of cameras at Walmart are clunked out and don't work - they work more at keeping the ones inside functional but a lot of if not most outside ones are dead and don't work. I got a look inside an AP office a few days ago and there were blank camera screen slots galore. Their camera tech doesn't stay updated - as a rule newer stores will have better cams than older ones, but as far as "facial recognition", I haven't heard anything about that being deployed. Mostly it comes from the AP people knowing who the habitual crooks are and being on the lookout for them.

As far as open carriers go, let me tell you how it's been going down around these parts - your particular experience may vary. Store security will watch them on camera like they would a shoplifter tracking their location. But no security, manager or employee confronts the person - nope, they make an "armed subject" call to the cops. But, the cops don't drop what they're doing and come running - it's classified as a low priority call. What's been happening more often than not is by the time the cops amble on over there, the person has already left the premises on their own. ROFL. There's more pressing things to deal with than Walmart whining about icky guns being in the store.
