To be honest, I don't really blame them. At least when someone starts to walk in with an AR-15 they can stop them and ask them to leave (maybe) rather than wait to see if they start shooting.

EDIT: But it won't necessarily prevent another trajedy. I wish this would stop!

I really wonder if it would make a difference to OC an AR with a neat haircut and a nice three-piece suit, rather than going all Tactical Timmy. Clean-shaven and presentable rather than Rambo with thinning hippie hair and a beer belly.

It probably would make a difference. Don't give those mentally ill individuals any ideas.

I have to be honest, if you walk in anywhere I am with an AR or AK slung I will likely have my pistol out and in my lap on high alert. Just saying I would be unnerved by it these days

Albertson's joined the throng.

So, is there anyone out there who thinks WalMart doesnt exert significant influence at least over other companies' policies in the retail environment?

This is going to get bad... yes, all you folks who think Open Carry doesn't matter, just hang on a bit. It's all part of the direction of public opinion and let's face it, ALL of our major national retailers think we as a general people are a bit unhinged if we want to carry guns, and they have just been waiting for the right public moment to implement the policies, and to step into the "national conversation" about how we can ban guns.

It's sad to see something so vital coming to an end. :(

I knew once WM caved in that there would be this domino effect of others following suit.

Unfortunately so many "gun people" are willing to give up one more slice of our rights because they believe open carry is stupid so there won't be much backlash from these actions.

Whether you open carry or not you should still support that right!
