    Well...he's right. I'm just surprised that a walmart actually is doing this. I wonder where it's at.

    what I just saw was a battle of ignorance between walmart and the OCer

    they are both wrong and right in a sense

    Walmart is private property, your 1A and 2A rights are balanced with their rights when you are a guest in their store

    Walmart should just post and get it over with if they are going to act ignorantly and deal with the aftermath
    If you OC in Walmart..or if you wish to OC in Walmart you might have play their stupid game and show you LTC

    Helotes!
    It's simple, if Walmart doesn't want people to OC there, then they need to post a 30.07 sign or have someone who is the owner of the property or someone with apparent authority to act for the owner give oral or written notice of the policy prohibiting the open carry of handguns on the property.

    They can ask all they want, but there is no legal requirement for anyone to show them a CHL/LTC.

    Walmart can play their games, and OCT will play theirs.

    To sum up, I think both sides of this argument are wrong. Walmart for their policy of asking to see CHLs/LTCs, and OCT for arguing with them about it. Unfortunately, in this case I think OCT is more in the right than Walmart although I still disagree with their antics.

    Cheers! M2
