Sorry buddy, Safeway and Albertsons also prohibits guns in their stores (they actually have a stricter policy than Wal-Mart lmao). As does Target, Costco, CVS, and now Walgreens and Kroger. Never heard of Basha's, but if you google you'll see people complaining that they have signs on their door that say No guns unless you have a CCW, meaning no open carry there either.

Here's a small sample of the stores you'll need to start boycotting
https://www.concealedcarry.com/law/b...-gun-policies/
First off, Im not reading that whole wall of text you've got going on here lately. Split your stuff up so it's easier to read please.
Most people here know I own weapons of different types and I lean right when it comes to gun ownership. That being said, IMO Walmart banning open carry is not going to have the negative effect you think it will.
Personally, even in areas where I know open carry is perfectly legal, you will probably never see me openly carrying a firearm. Most people who are legally permitted carry would much rather carry concealed than open. I'm not sure if there are any stats on this...there probably are somewhere but frankly I'm not going to look it up; however, I'd be willing to bet that a vast majority of us citizens who want to carry a gun for self protection prefer to conceal-carry.
Also, the more I've thought about the whole open carry situation - whether someone is doing it to "make a statement" or not, I think it is just pretty stupid. I personally prefer the element of surprise; this is just one reason of many as to why conceal-carry is superior. If someone decides to try to rob me or whatever it might be, why would I want them to know that I am carrying? People can make the argument that "well, maybe they wont rob you if they see you're carrying", but I disagree. There are plenty of psychos out there who would gladly draw on you before you can reach your weapon and if nothing else, steal it from you.
Also, if you find yourself caught in the middle of a robbery or whatever, a perp may act much differently toward you when they see you're carrying...they may think twice and run, but if it's some batshit crazy crackhead or whatever, they also might be more aggressive and on edge toward you and possibly wish to eliminate you as a possible threat to them.
Oh and btw, as someone else pointed out...Albertsons and Safeway have stricter policies.
Edit: FWIW I also want to disclose that this opinion is coming from someone who has been held at gunpoint and robbed in the past. If anyone wants the story, let me know and I'll share it.
