My wife was diligent tonight in pointing out a GB sign posted at the front door of Walmart. I had OC'd there many times before but had never seen the sign as it is posted on the backside of tinted glass. I asked the Customer Service Rep. about it, she said it was to keep them safe, and that they quit selling guns after Columbine (Walmart pulls products that don't sell in particular areas, this is what I'm sure really happened as it has elsewhere). I asked her if she knew where the sign came from, she had no clue but said "everyone has them." She quickly got the asst. manager over to speak to me when I asked if he was around.
Firstly, I was quick to inform him that I was a law-abiding citizen and that my firearm was not on me, but that criminals might not give him the same courtesy. He agreed. Asst. Mgr. tells me that they send a truckload of signs when stores open and they post whatever is in them, and that it's probably been there since the store opened. I asked him whether the sign could have come from an outside source, i.e. someone saying that they were REQUIRED BY LAW to post the sign. He didn't know, he had worked there for less than a year. He gave me the general manager's name and said I could call back in the morning. I plan on stopping by after work to see what the deal is.
A few details on the sign that stuck out to me:
Copyright 2004 (alot has changed since then)
"Required by ORC" (Since when is a GB sign required?)
That last one is what made me wonder about the source. We'll see what happens with this, hopefully they'll take the sign down. For pete's sake, they still sell ammunition!
