I know at least in my area and forums there have many many conflicting questions with carrying in Wal-Mart. I sent Wal-Mart an email and got this in response I hope it helps:
Thank you for your message.
Dear Jacob,
In regards to your inquiry:
* There is no policy against customers carrying their handgun in our stores as long as he/she is legally permitted by their state to carry the handgun.
* As a private property owner, Walmart has the authority to ask customers to remove their handgun or leave the store on a case-by-case basis if customers or Walmart associates express concerns about the handgun.
Thank you,
Wal-Mart Customer Care
For further correspondence regarding this issue, please reply to this email.

Can I have the official Wal-mart Policy on open carry and conceal carry. Most I have heard is The store will follow state law. If it's legal to carry a firearm in that state then its not against company policies to carry in the store. However some stores are telling customers that its a company wide ban on all firearms.
