I was stopped by the greeter this afternoon and he asked me to speak to the manager before I carried into the store. I spoke to Chris Peasley, Co Manager of the store. I relayed that the greeter didn’t believe I was allowed to carry my firearm in the store, and that my understanding of Wal-Mart corporate policy was to follow the state laws, his reply was, “You cannot have a firearm in this store.” (I’m working directly from the recording, so everything in quotesis verbatim.) I asked for his business card and he gave me one.
I again emphasized my perception of the corporate policy and he replied, “We do not allow firearms in the store.” He went on to add, “It’s not anything to do with state law…[something unintelligible]…it’s more of a customer…uh…I don’t know…it’s more of a public safety thing…” He then went on about customers getting nervous. I then left the store.
I will be scanning the forums to see if there are any good Wal-Mart corporate emails or telephone numbers and will pursue it through them.
