Asked to leave walmart.....

[randyc187]

Last tuesday i was at the connelsville walmart right off of rt119 OCing like i usually do. walked around the store for about a hour, looking at this that and the other and on my way out i bought a pop.

as i walked past the DG (door greeter) this is what i got

DG : excuse me sir can i ask you a question?
ME : yes maam you certainly can
DG : is that a gun?
ME : yes maam it is

akward moment of silence

DG : well you cant have that in here, is store policy that only police officers can have guns in here, your not a officer are you?
ME : no maam im not
DG : well then you have to leave
ME : well can i see that policy in writing?
DG : you most certainly can

and after that i knew this was gona be i good one because i have read alot of threads on here about walmart and by now im pretty sure i know thier policy on firearms

so we walk to the customer service desk and she tells the lady behind the counter in the most sarcastic tone i think she could possibly muster " this gentle would like to know why he CANT carry his GUN in here "
the lady behind the counter began to look at all the posted notices on the walls and looking though books and papers and couldnt find anything. then she said well maybe its on the front door.

so me and this lady make our way to the front door and begin to look this sign that i knew didnt exist. this walmart doesnt even have a no shirt no shoes no service sign. after looking for a few minute and coming up empty handed she asked me if i had a " carry personal permit " i said no but i have a LTCF and i showed it to her ( i know i dont have to but when dealing with sheeple you have to do what ever will make them sleep better at night )

she told me she is pretty sure its corporate policy and asked me to leave it in my car untill we resolve this matter, i said ok and left the store

called corporate walmart the next day and file a complaint about being hassled in the store, get a call a few hours later from them and they appoligized for what happened to me, the guy i spoke with on the phone said i couldnt really blame the DG for her actions because how the world is now, and i asked the guy why do you think i carry a gun? its ok to blame me and make me look like a fool but let what she did get swept under the rug?


long story short, i was right and the walmart empolyees was wrong.


the guy from corporate walmart told me i was welcome back to that walmart as long as i concealed me firearm.

dont think ill be going back there.

sorry kinda long, but needed a good vent

Semper Fi,

I have never had a problem at the Hazleton, WB, Hometown and Mt pocono walmart. I have even spoken to one of the managers about an employee at the hazleton Walmart and was never asked about it. And she did notice my firearm, because she keep staring at it.

I found this. It might be helpful to the people here who encounter problems at Walmarts.

Wal-Mart's Policy About Concealed Weapons on Their Premises

For those of you who have encountered "NO CONCEAL CARRY" signs on your local Wal-Mart front doors. The reason why the signs are up is because they are in the computer. When a store manager orders new signs, if that manager is anti-gun, he can order those signs and put them up. The Wal-Mart corporate policy goes against these managers. You can call up Wal-Mart and tell them that said manager is going against the corporate policy and the signs will be taken down. I know because this has happened a couple of times here in South Carolina and it has been pursued and the signs have been removed.

Sooner or later they will figure it out.

Oh and BTW, since not one but two people did the same thing in this thread I just have to say something about it.

English 101:

When you use the word (yes it is a word) "I" it is ALWAYS capitalized. It makes reading your posts incredibly hard to read using i when it should be I.
