Wal-Mart And Concealed Carry

I've written Wal-Mart Corporate several times concerning concealed weapon carry in their china-outlet stores, and each time received a slightly different reply that always featured one important thing. It is not their policy to prohibit firearms. Never was. Back in the bad old days when only a few states offered CCW, they'd hem and haw, try to pawn any such prohibition off on an individual manager, but eventually cave and instruct the store to take down any signage that restricted a citizen from exercising his or her 2nd Amendment rights. In Florida, a company may of course post any sign it wishes to, but they bear no legal weight whatsoever. This doesn't stop certain unscrupulous hitler-wannabes from trying to impress the Eloi, but Wal-Mart in particular has this to say about that, and I hope the following...received this day from the boobs of bentonville... sheds some light on the subject, even for those unfortunates who happen to abide in a state that sanctions discrimination:

"Thank you for contacting Wal-Mart regarding our concealed handgun policy. Wal-Mart was founded by Sam Walton on three basic principles. Strive for Excellance, Service to our Customers, and Respect for the Individual. It is that respect for the individual that led us to create the current policy pertaining to concealed handguns.

The following is our policy......If a Wal-Mart customer has been awarded a concealed handgun license by the state government, Wal-Mart will follow the direction of the state. However, if at anytime while on Wal-Mart property, that customer's concealed weapon becomes visible to Wal-Mart associates or customers, Wal-Mart reserves the right to ask the customer to either reposition the weapon so that it will not be visible, to remove the weapon completely or to leave Wal-Mart property, With the exception of law enforcement personnel, Wal-Mart does not allow any exposed weapons to be worn or carried in public view on Wal-Mart property or in Wal-Mart stores. Customers other than law enforcement personnel wearing or carrying a weapon in an exposed manner will be asked to leave the property immediately."
