No joke. The 2nd Ammendment "auditors" and other a$$holes that carry openly to elicit a public response have put this over the top. You think Walmart would have taken the action they did if the jerk in Springfield, MO hadn't walked into a Walmart with a rifle and body armor the week after the El Paso Shooting. I'll bet not. I'm guessing Walmart just said enough is enough - we don't want a$$holes doing the "Walmart Walk" and freaking out our customers" anymore. It sucks what these retailers are doing and I don't approve. But, I can't really blame them for trying to keep these idiots out of their stores.Good job Open carry people.
