    Simple way to fix that, have metal detectors with a shelf to put keys and phones and then if it goes off they check you to see if you have a firearm. Giving each security a gun with rubber bullets make any would be agressor think they have lead bullets.

    You just do what the cops tell. By the way guns don't make you invulnerable. The first thing you do is take cover. You can't help anyone if you're dead.

    No it isn't. Dealers at gun shows operate under the same rules as dealers any where else.

    Also, a gun show is the last place a criminal wants to buy a gun from. Too many witnesses and cops around.

    I have been down this highway with you and before you post about guns you really need to do a lot of research.

    What he knows about guns could be written in large print on a small postage stamp with room left over for a novel.

    It is not a gun free zone, the managers and security people are/cam be armed.

    The security do in Boston. They have one duty cop along with private armed security. I don't know about the mangers, but the rule about carrying in Walmart pertains just to customers not to employees.

    But if they're not in the area it's a gun-free zone.

    I wouldn’t visit any store that takes away my option to defend myself. Sure carrying a firearm doesn’t guarantee my family’s security but it does give me a fighting chance. In my experience, people who are afraid of guns aren’t educated on them. For example when I first started dating my wife she was pretty upset that I carried and had firearms scattered about my house. However after a few trips to the gun range she now holds a ccw permit and carries. There is a reason gun free zones are attacked more often than not. A gun free zone is a perfect option for these people.

    Why is that? I don’t have kids, and to clarify they are strategically hidden in case someone decides my house needs a home invasion.

    Shopped at Walmart for years if there are security people they are well hidden. As for the managers why would you want them armed and no one else? There not likely to be any better trained than anyone else. Add to that the fact that when you say no guns on the premises most people are going to believe.

    Man banned from Walmart for life for open carrying a firearm.

    I wonder how they will enforce that. The man could go to a different store and pay with cash.

    He signed a legal document stating that he knows if he steps onto their property he will be trespassing and criminally liable, the police officer gave it to him to sign.

    Yes, but if he goes to a different WalMart and pays cash, do you think he'll really be caught?

    Yes because he recorded it so he is definatly known to local walmarts and I am sure security has pictures of every banned customer.

    Have you seen Wal-Mart security? yes, I'm sure that in the local Wal-marts, they will remember him for a while, but outside of that area, I doubt it. That said, if I were him, I'd avoid Wa-Mart in the future. Heck, if I made a little more money, I wouldn't go there anymore. I'm just too cheap to be able to overlook the price differential in packaged goods.
