After months of the Hammond and Amite Walmart lying about their gun policy, Walmart Corp has stepped in.
Walmart corp supports gun owners and made damn sure that the managers of these two walmart's stopped the lying to their customers about how the policy states that only LEO can carry in their store.
The policy states that if you are LEGALLY carrying, you can carry in their stores.
I carry in all other Walmart's and have NO problem what so ever. For the record, Hammond and Amite now know the real policy
Careful in Amite Anty506. They've got an anti-carry law that's been on the books since 1965 so state preemption doesn't work there.
Wouldn't that be unconstitutional, though, under Article 1, Section 11?
Good Point XD!
Here it is, y'all judge.
Section 11-4017. Unlawful possession of weapons. (a)Except as hereinafter provided, it shall be unlawful for any person, except within his own domicile, to carry or use on or about his person or have in his manual possession, either secretly or openly, whether concealed or otherwise, any arms or weapons of any kind, or any shotgun, rifle, pistol, revolver, air-gun, "B-B gun," gas operated gun or spring gun, or any instrument, toy or weapon commonly known as a "peashooter," "slingshot," or "beany," or any bow made for the purpose of throwing or projecting missiles of any kind by any means whatsoever, or any dirk, bowie knife, clasp knife, razor, metallic knuckles, slingshot, billy or any other weapon, whether the instrument is called by any name set forth above or by any other name, other than the ordinary or common penknife or pocket knife. (b)The prohibition of (a) above shall not apply to licensed shooting galleries or in private grounds or premises under circumstances when the instrument can be fired, discharged or operated in a manner as not to endanger persons or property, and also in a manner as to prevent the projectile from traversing any grounds or space outside the limits of the gallery, grounds or residence; and further provided, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent the carrying of any type of gun whatsoever when unloaded and properly cased, to or from any range or gallery or to or from an area where hunting is allowed by law, and further provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent or forbid any federal, state, parish or municipal officer empowered to make arrests, nor any person who shall be licensed to carry arms under the provisions of the laws of the town, the state or under any federal laws, from carrying or wearing, while on duty, the weapons as shall be necessary in this proper discharge of their duties. (Ord. No. 483, §§ I, II, 10-5-65)
