This is what to expect in the USA before too long. Wehave lost many thousands of motorvehicle jobs over the last 2 years and now this.

Cars made in China here now. Started selling this year.Our Australianbuilt and American built cars and 4X4's for around $40 to $80 thousand dollars depending on make and model. Our Jeep Cherokee is one of the bestof threevehicles we own.

25 June 2009, Chines built and imported into Australia a 4X4 duel cab V240, Ex360andSA220 ute drive away . . . . $23990 / $26990

http://www.greatwallmotors.com.au/default.asp?action=article&ID=21659

The V240 4x2 will sell in Australia for a class leading $23,990 on road with the 4x4 option costing a modest $3,000 extra, while the SA220 will sell for a remarkable $18,990 on road. Both vehicles offer buyers superior equipment levels, including electric windows, alloy wheels, leather trimmed seats and air conditioning and a genuine opportunity to enter the new car market at the equivalent of a second-hand price.
since theres lead in the glass windows it might be a bad idea to lick them

better not munch the carpet either

I just find it amazing that with all the posts on this an other boards about how unfriendly Wal-mart is to OC, guns and people that the incidents continue to happen. In almost every case where someone posts about a business being OC un-friendly it is followed with advisories to vote with your feet and dollars by boycotting that business. If this were almost any other business we would never hear of an incident with them because no one would ever go there.

Why with Wal-Mart do we continue to get complaints almost daily about how they treat people? It is often said that stupidity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different outcome. If you go to Wal-Mart you know what to expect. I agree with the OP that it becomes silly to keep posting the same results from the same experience as if one is surprised at it.

Either don't shop at Wal-Mart or don't complain about it. If you jump off the Golden Gate Bridge you are probably going to get wet so don't complain about the fact that you didn't think to bring a towel with you.

Wal-Mart's policy is gun-neutral (which is all that I expect). That they have some rogue employees who are unaware of the policy and act inappropriately does not motivate me to stop shopping there.

I shop at Wal-Mart all the time while OCing. No one has ever said word one to me.

I will continue to shop there because it represents economic Liberty; it represents American ideals.

Now, if a company, say Sears/K-Mart has a stated corporate anti-gun policy, I will not shop there. They are anti-Liberty. They are un-American.

Re: Walmart

Same here. There are 4 stores where I go regularly without any problems. Their gun-neutral policy has no negative impact on me and, IMO, none on the RKBA.

Re: Sears & K-Mart

An anti-gun policy is definitely a negative impact on me AND on the RKBA.

So, I shop 4-5 times a week at WM and never in Sears or Walmart.

Why not Eric?

We're discussing reactions to various corporate policies on gun rights, which is what the purpose of the forum is supposed to be so why lock it (in your opinion)?

Looking for another ban with that picture? No need to be overly gross.

Your dislike of Walmart doesn't seem to have any bearing on the RKBA so, no real answer regarding a reason to lock the thread.

The biggest legitimate dissatisfaction with Walmart over the years seems to stem from their inconsistent application of policy. Mostly that involves communications and training of their employees on just whatare and aren't company policies and rules. This was eventually refined to be a deliberate conspiracy that Walmart was actually anti-gun and was going to end the sale of rifles completely.

For some reason, few seemed to "get" that Walmart (like most businesses) sells what they can make a profit on and sets policy accordingly. My impression was that the anti-crowd was irrational on the subject.

Anotheraccusation I recall were the rumors 5-6 years ago that they negotiated with the gun manufacturers to supply QA-questionable,lower quality rifles and ammo in order to sell at cheaper prices. There were urban legend stories from people swearing that manufacturers' customer serviceemployees confessed this, shooters who claimed they could document that theserial numbers of the same models didn't shoot as consistently as ones with differentseries of numbers and other similar claims. None were ever verified.This always struck me as one of those deliberate misinformation projects where the small businesses were trying to establish how inferior Walmart's products were.

Considering how much money we borrow from China and how much we owe them and how much we will probably never be able to pay back, I'm sure they will own us anyways!!
