Let's at least get the headline right. It was open carry they asked people not to do, no conceal carry.

Walmart has been under great pressure to "do something/anything" since one of the shootings was in one of their stores.  Since Walmart is hardly a go-to store for weaponry, it's not much of a loss.  I'm not getting worked up over it.

For what they carry, ammo and firearms, they tended to be price competitive.  And that helps keep prices reasonable at other stores.

I never bought there, because the selection sucked.   :shrug:

Kroger follows Walmart in asking customers not to openly carry firearms at its stores

We will not be changing our carry habits at either store.

Me either.

When I carry it is concealed. I never saw the need to give the bad guys early warning not to screw with me.

Same here.  I don't want to spoil the surprise.

But I can appreciate the open carry folks that give warning to the rest of us by being the first targets...

Walmart hasn’t been the same since Sam passed away. IIRC all his kids turned out to be Liberal Clinton and Obama supporters.

@txradioguy

One of his sons was a Special Forces medic that earned a Silver Star and a Purple Heart while running recon operations in Northern Laos with MACV-SOG during the VN War.

He was an amateur pilot that died a few years ago in an airplane crash. I can easily be wrong on this,but I THINK it was an experimental plane that he designed and built.

 I am positive about the MACV-SOG and Silver Star,though.Truth to tell,if he had done the same thing in a conventional army unit chock full of witnesses,he may have been put in for a Medal of Honor for his actions. He pretty much single-handedly fought off a large force of NVA troops while wounded himself and treating his wounded team mates and directing air strikes and calling in the rescue helicopter. Ask anybody who has ever been in combat if that is a big deal and see what reaction you get.

I know nothing about the other children,other than the fact that they (and he) were living off the trust fund profits. I am semi-sure I remember reading that Sam Walton set up trust funds for them and turned over control of Wal-Mart to pros,while reserving board seats for his children.

BTW,we can all "thank" Wal-Mart ,the Bush Crime Family,and the Clintons for the Chinese marketing invasion of America,all the cheap Chinese crap that entered our country,and all the jobs and factories that left.

Bush was President at the time,and Bubbette! Clintion,the Arkansas Governer's wife,was given a seat on the Wal-Mart board by Sam,based on her vast business experience of "none at all". The Bush Crime Family has the contacts in China to make this happen thanks to Poppy having been the first US Ambassador to China,as well as a former Director of the CIA. When he formally recognized China and sent them an Ambassador,he also sent his Uncle to China to open the "US Chinese Chamber of Commerce."

Or I may be wrong it was all just a coincidence that just seemed to work out financially for the Clinton and Bush families.

We just discovered "Grocery Pickup."  It's fabulous, you punch up the items on the phone app, add them to the cart, check out and schedule a pick up time.  Pull up next to the store, phone the number on the sign, and there's a friendly gal with the cart of stuff to load it in the car for you.  I don't even get out of the car, and they've been giving me bottled water to drink while I wait.

I wonder how long this lasts...
I've been picking up groceries like this for almost a year now, for my mom.  You have to be careful though because they'll charge more for items at the grocery pickup than they do inside.  Example...a pineapple inside is $1.98.....pickup....$2.40

We're going down there now...we have an order ready.  As for produce, we were always leery about quality but so far they've picked good stuff for us. :shrug:

I am for carrying any way you feel like carrying... Also there is NO stats that suggest that open carry  folks are targeted first, and it might be they deter more crime that might otherwise occur due to their open carry warnings. So in the long run, they actually might be targeted first but also might be targeted less due to the fact they scare baddies away from attacking at all.

Truth is being there is NO research on the subject, letting our style of carry color our views might just be all CC folks are projecting. I can see benefits for both styles including draw times in benefit of Open Carry (and deterrent benefits) and stealth in Conceal Carry.

Like I said, freedom in carry style, and all is good in my opinion. @verga   @thackney  @Cyber Liberty @txradioguy

@Sighlass I can't argue with a single point you made. It is up to everyone to make up their own mind.

I chose not to CCW because of the permitting - If the government does crack down at some point, they've a handy list of the true believers.

I don't trust government, ever, be it the feds, the state, the county or the sheriff, the city or the police chief... I don't need to be on their lists.

Montana is open carry, but has some exceptions for concealed due to winter or transport purposes... So a reasonable concealment can be explained away. I have never been busted for concealed, and I probably never will be.

That being said, I pack what I want, how I want. And nobody gets to know about it.
