I have never had a worry at walmart in Bellingham. I have found them to be oblivious to my well holstered pistol.

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Kroger's subsidiarity Fred Meyer stores are FFL license holders. That should explain Kroger's policy.
Is good, but isn't that the tail wagging the dog?
It appears that Kroger is the parent company.

Not at all and yes it is. Selling guns is a profit center that contribute to the parent companies bottom line. As long as guns are making them money Kroger will be pro gun.

Walmart used to sell firearms at all locations (both long guns & handguns), however they caved in to the "Gun Control" group. There are still Walmarts that do sell long guns, but those locations seem to be few & far between.
In regards to Fred Meyer, you have to be careful, as in some locations the personnel handling Sporting Goods are not as well trained as they should be.

The Wal marts I go to in AZ and Wis. sell guns and are gun friendly I have even had a couple of their employees thank me for carrying and was told that they wish they could carry on the job.
Not always the case. North 40 (formerly Big R) is an FFL and makes profit from selling guns yet they are very anti-gun even after their re-branding.

Holy necro-thread.
I think the WalMart issue has been long settled most everywhere for years.
