Thank you for contacting
Wal-Mart regarding our concealed handgun policy. Wal-Mart was
founded by Sam Walton on three basic principles. Strive for Excellence,
Service to our Customers, and Respect for the Individual.
It is that respect for the individual that led us to create
the current policy pertaining to concealed handguns.
The following is our
policy......If a Wal-Mart customer has been awarded a concealed
handgun license by the state government, Wal-Mart will follow
the direction of the state. However, if at anytime while on Wal-Mart
property, that customer's concealed weapon becomes visible to
Wal-Mart associates or customers, Wal-Mart reserves the right
to ask the customer to either reposition the weapon so that it
will not be visible, to remove the weapon completely or to leave
Wal-Mart property, With the exception of law enforcement personnel,
Wal-Mart does not allow any exposed weapons to be worn or carried
in public view on Wal-Mart property or in Wal-Mart stores. Customers
other than law enforcement personnel wearing or carrying a weapon
in an exposed manner will be asked to leave the property immediately.
We appreciate your
concern and trust that this message has addressed your concerns
regarding this issue.
Thank you,
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
