- Walmart on Tuesday announced changes to its gun-sales policies and asked shoppers to stop openly carrying firearms in its stores nationwide in response to two deadly shootings at Walmart stores in El Paso, Texas, and Southaven, Mississippi.
- The company also said it planned to end the sale of ammunition for handguns and some types of rifles, and it will stop selling handguns in Alaska, which is the only state where Walmart sells handguns.
- "We know these decisions will inconvenience some of our customers, and we hope they will understand," Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said in a memo to employees.
- McMillon said he is a gun owner and that the company remains committed to its long heritage of supporting hunters. The company will continue to sell the shotguns and rifles that it carries.
- If shoppers openly carry guns into Walmart stores going forward, store managers may ask the shopper to leave and safely secure their gun in their vehicle before returning to the store. The policies will vary by location, however, and shoppers who are openly carrying guns may not always be asked to leave the store, a Walmart spokesman said.

Sounds like someone in marketing doesn’t really know their target demographic.

When you're relying on Twitter for your marketing decisions, this is what you get.

When will Wal-mart start asking people to leave when they come to the store with their underwear hanging out? Or even their *** cheeks? Yeah, that's what I thought too.
Problem solved, no more shootings at Walmart.
I'm sure the gun guys in here know about this site, but if anyone isn't familiar with it here ya go. Click a couple buttons and a couple days later as many bullets as you want show up on your doorstep and at a better price, all without even having to leave your house. F#ck WalMart.
Oh, and, uh, as always, YWIA.

I would bet that their lawyer told them to do it this way.
They should never sell ammo. Those bullets hurt when you throw them.
Just another reason to dislike Walmart and not shop there. Anyone that listens to progressive liberals about anything deserves whatever they get.
They talk about freedom but only the freedoms they like.

Pretty sure every business that took an anti-2nd amendment stand, paid for it.
Didn't say anything about carrying a crossbow. Loophole baby!

Now they should ban people who can't put together a simple sentence.

Any word on if they are banning fat, bra-less women in yoga pants? If they do I may start shopping there.
This. buy lead and black powder but even that is getting harder and harder to find. Unless.......
I realized years ago I could live without Walmart
How am I supposed to buy my camo, guns, dip, cheap American flag clothing and Duck Dynasty merchandise in one spot?
This is preposterous and I am outraged. I will definitely be complaining online.

The same reason people lock their house doors at night... protection against people doing stupid stuff.
Uh... locking my doors is a pretty easy first line of defense. I'd rather keep them out than be forced to shoot them.
Why would it bother you if someone has a gun? I actually feel safe when I go into a store and see someone with a weapon on their hip.
How many mass shooters paid attention to a "Gun Free Zone" sign? Just think how stupid it is and how many people have lost their life because everyone was unarmed except the man walking through killing people randomly

100% of shootings take place because of a gun. the way johnny cope sees it, if you have to holster up to go shopping for your panties and summers eve then you probably should just use amazon.
if you pansies would square up like real men we wouldn't need no guns.
As red blooded Americans we are fortunate that nobody has ever been shot in a "No Guns Zone" I am thankful mass killers pay attention to signs when they start their killing spree. They search out areas where guns are welcome in the store.
Whats funny is that Walmart is catering to the outcry from the left, when they know for a fact their bread is buttered from the right. You think the liberal elitist a-holes are shopping at Walmart? Its high time Walmart was slapped back a few rungs anyway. The problem is in most rural communities they are one of the only options to shop without significant driving time.
And always love how the antigun crowd chimes in about, man up or are you scared. The problem ultimately is the ******* shooting up has a gun, you would be retarded to man up and act like he will drop his and fight you instead. I mean there is some really stupid things said, but manning up to a dude with a gun has to be right at the tp of the most brain dead comments ever made.

andy griffith didn't carry a gun and he lived a long life, being a lawyer well into his 70s and got to see his son become a famous movie director. never had to shoot no body. fists and reasoning.
