I hear ya, although come on now… lets be honest, how many of us occasionally still carry in places that have the No gun sign? I break “the rules” occasionally
I've seen plenty over the years. Every single time it's a cringe moment because it's so unnecessary, and makes gun owners looks bad. Because quite literally no one, ever, in the history of all time, that was not a gun person, has looked upon someone open carrying at a Walmart and though "wow, what a responsible person, I am going to positively change my opinions about gun owners". On the other hand, I bet there are a lot of folks that see that and think "just like I thought, those idiots either can't respect the rules or can't read the sign".
I mean, they don't have a no concealed policy generally (although certain states might differ, I dunno about all of them) which is positive. I don't get OC anyways, but that's just my opinion.
Oh I'm sure lots of people do. Not my thing, but I rarely speak for the masses.
The most open carry I've seen is at Home Depot
Rules were meant to be broken.
I frequent a Walmart about six times a year and the only reason I make it an option is to look at their .410 selection. They do away with carry or the gun counter, they are dead to me, totally.
There’s groups I follow on Facebook that make fun of open carriers, fuds, or “grey men”. A large percentage of their material posted comes from Walmart.
True, but I’m assuming you’re talking about concealed carry. Concealed is concealed. A store might say “don’t crap in here”. If you just openly take a dump between the fresh produce and the meat section you’re openly breaking the rules and being a jerk. But If you crap your pants in the same spot, you might have broken the rules, but nobody knows but you.
If that's your experience, get to a physician that specializes in sense of smell. Yours is broken.
The future of grocery shopping is ordering online and picking them up curbside like the good old days of the general store.
They can't rob the store blind if they can't come inside.
Walmart can't "ban" carrying in their stores in OK. They can ask you to leave if discovered then it just becomes a case of trespassing.
I went 7 years without going to my local WMart here in TX. The only reason I went then was because our local Staples closed, and I really needed some invoice pads.
The ONLY place I go that doesn’t allow concealed carry is the court house to get my truck and trailer registrations done every year. Other than that, I’m out if I can’t carry.
