In reply to the discussion: Report: Man wearing body armor, carrying tactical weapons arrested at Walmart in Springfield, MO [View all]TomSlick
(11,109 posts)45. Thanks - I guess
I am really unhappy that Walmart has taken this position supporting open carry in stores.
It is not only irresponsible, it's just dumb.
OK - plan B. When you see someone carrying a firearm. Yell "GUN!" and move smartly toward the door. It has the benefit of being both the truth and socially responsible. After the store clears, the manager will report to Walmart HQ what happened and why the store emptied. About the third time this happens, Walmart will change its policy.
