If you have a problem in a WalMart because you're open carrying (as in they say leave) you need to pursue it to the Corporate office. Corporate policy is that they comply with state and local law. If it is legal for you to OC there, you may OC there.
i also OC into McDonalds (and everywhere else). I OC daily and that's just the way it's gonna be. Only one business has prohibited me from entering (the local mall) and so they get none of my business. I don't go to CostCo because their corporate policy is "only criminals can have guns".
I HAVE been approached a few times, even asked to "cover it", but I stand by my principles and say "no thanks, but if you want me to leave I'll make my purchases elsewhere". In one store the manager actualy said "Well then I'll escort you so that no one is afraid". I said "No thanks, I won't be treated like a criminal and escorted around the store by an employee simply because I am exercising my rights".
Don't ARGUE but be firm that what you are doing is legal and that you're money can AND WILL go elsewhere. If it's a big box with a corporate policy of allowing lawful carry, PURSUE it and have it come down from management to the store that they are not to hassle you. Then go right back.
Major Chains I remember that have corporate policies allowing lawful carry.
