I was trying to buy some wrapping paper and tape today at the Hazel Dell Walmart in Vancouver, WA when I was approached by a Walmart employee who informed me that I wasn't allowed to carry a gun in the store. I told her that my understanding of their policy was that it mirrored state law regarding firearms. She called her manager over, his name is Race Robbins, and we had the same dialog. He called a regional manager who told him that Walmart policy does mirror state law but that it is private property and they don't want people carrying firearms on their property.
I tried to point out that was a contradiction but he told me basically that if I didn't leave I would be trespassing at that point. He told me to call 1-800-Walmart which I have done and am waiting to hear back.
Does anyone have any other advice of someone to contact or should I just wait to hear back from them? Thanks.
