[QUOTE="Trapper John, post: 414153, member: 40"] Wal-Mart has no policy regarding concealed weapons. They follow along with the laws of the state in which the store is located. However, they do STRONGLY prefer you keep it concealed. If you open carry in Wal-Mart you'll most likely be asked to either conceal it or leave. That's fine with me. Their business, their rules, and they don't prohibit concealed carry. Better than most businesses like that on this issue. Several Wal-Mart stores have put up signs prohibiting carrying of any kind and a phone call to the big office resulted in the signs being taken down. At least that was my experience. In this case it seems that particular Wal-Mart didn't have an issue with him open carrying. The problem didn't arise until the officer stopped him on his way out. I didn't see anything about the store instigating the stop. Sometimes you'll get lucky like that with the business. My local one wants you to keep it concealed. By the way, I only post this because I skimmed through this thread and saw a few comments about Wal-Mart and carrying weapons in their stores. I offer this for some basic info on their stance as it was explained to me...twice. [/QUOTE]
