Walmart asking people not to open carry in store, no longer selling non hunting guns

[Emptymag]

UPDATE:
As of Oct 28, 2019 there is signage asking to refrain from open carrying.

I took a pic on my way in when I noticed the new signage.
I'll post a pic when I can, but it's a small, "shared" sign with other policies - not a large, single issue sign.

Smokers are not a civil right. Nor did I say they are close. I said, you can ban smokers but they have more rights while at work. For instance for some reason, they get smoke breaks.

I know companies that prohibit the possession and use of tobacco while on company premises. I've seen ads that say, "Only non-smokers need apply''. They even make you sign an acknowledgement.

A company I used to work for actually charged a health insurance premium for smokers. Or gave a discount for non-smokers , depending how ya looked at it. The co-pay was $250/mo higher. And yes , they tested.

You misread the headline

“Walmart asks 2A supporters to not shop at Walmart”

plenty of local gun dealers around, and they could use the business.

Certain jobs in some hospitals do not allow any smokers what so ever and will test weekly for tobacco.

Well at least it's better than a flat out no guns sign but still a smack in the face to gun owners.

^^^^^^^ It does say "kindly"... I am not sure, but it is phrased as a request, not a demand.

I haven't been to Walmart in nearly two months. I used to be a 2-3 times a week regular since there's one just up the road from work and it made a good "I need to go wander and think about a project I'm working on/stretch my legs/clear my brain out a bit" destination late at night when I was out and about.

I really wish there were more 24 hour grocery stores than Walmart, Giant Eagle, and exactly one Kuhn's in Pittsburgh. I'm a night owl.


I'm considering easing up on my "NEVER WALMART" pledge I made in September given their "Please kindly" wording implying they aren't likely to make that huge a deal out of it, they'd just rather you didn't, but I'm still stuck on the fact that they're going to be working against my rights politically.
