    I'm not sure that Bezo's is publicly rabidly anti-gun like Bloomberg and some other wealthy nuts. Sam Walton is probably rolling in his grave though.

    Amazon does sell many more gun accessories than most might think.

    Will they stop selling alcohol when someone gets raped or drives drunk?

    Good point. How about baseball bats? In the end, I really don't care what they inventory. While they are changing their open-carry policy, maybe they can insist that their customers cover up their private parts!

    How many gun carriers were there at the El Paso Walmart?

    As stated in this thread, if there were no legally armed citizens present, it shows there is a need for more legally armed citizens.

    There is always potential need for armed citizens in Luby's.

    Wal Mart is a privately owned corporation they can do whatever they want in regards to stuff like this. If they don't want folks carrying while in their stores then they have the right to prohibit that. Just like they have a right to not sell ammo if they so desire. It's their store, not yours, go somewhere else.

    And for those believing this is some front to the Constitution then you are mistaken. Wal Mart making a policy prohibiting firearms in their store is to your 2nd Amendment what "shirt and shoes required" is to your 1st Amendment. There is nothing wrong with that.

    As long as their is no federal government regulation prohibiting stores from selling firearms then there's no problem. Every store in America tomorrow could decide they just no longer want to sell guns or ammo and that is perfectly fine, they are private business they don't have to sell stuff to you. The Constitution gives you the right to bear arms, it doesn't mandate that businesses are obligated to sell them.

    I don't think anyone suggested otherwise.

    They have choices, as do we.

    Obviously Walmart does not subscribe to the theory that having guns everywhere stops a gunman in their tracks.

    Walmart just drove more of its customer base to Amazon.

    Why shop in a Gun Free Killing Zone if you do not have to?

    Academy Sports and Outdoors usually has better prices than Wal Mart anyway.

    In regards to carrying, Wal Mart is certainly free to post the appropriate signs.

    STUPID... really stupid! :icon_picknose:

    How many big murder 'rampages' have been committed by people using .22, .380, .38-Special, .357 Magnum, or 9 millimeter ammuntion?! But, hell, if Walmart doesn't want the money from those sales, then they can do without! There's PLENTY of other places you can buy ammunition!

    Meanwhile, the employees in the sporting goods department at Walmart can sit around and sing "Kumbaya" to each other instead of waiting on customers.... :p .:party:

    I am more than happy to give my business to companies that support the 2nd Amendment and give back to the 2nd Amendment community.

    I wonder when Walmart will stop selling alcohol, you know, in the name of “helping to make the country safer”. If Walmart truly cares about lives lost in this country wouldn't they commit to stop selling alcohol in order to help reduce the number of deaths attributed to drunk driving? Those 10,000+ lives lost per year count too, right?

    The person who wrote the article was not very gun savvy. "Short barrel rifle ammunition" "clips". Very entertaining to read.

    There are lots of very good on-line sellers of ammo and firearms including some items at Amazon. Walmart's carry policy is not unreasonable. New gun owners can still do the Wally walk concealed. No one at Walmart in the 31 states where open carry is legal can do more than ask you to leave if you are carrying openly. In several states, even posting signs that prohibit carry do not have the force of law. Establishments do have the right to ask anyone to leave for any reason though.

    The only time Walmart is going to start acting like cops is if someone walks in with a rifle, slung over the shoulder or otherwise. That tends to draw attention and so, in that case, you might be asked to leave and customers may call 911. That is also their right.

    I live in an open carry state. It is more likely to see a no guns permitted sign on the front door of a gun shop than most other private businesses.

    It’s virtue signaling, How many times has Dicks sporting goods stop selling AR-15’s? Walmart has a pretty crappy sporting goods isle, the only thing going for it was the ammo prices. If that’s gone, I have absolutely zero reason to go to Walmart.
