Last week Walmart and several other major retailers went on record "requesting" that gun owners not carry weapons into their stores, even in states where "open-carry" is allowed by law - currently over half of the states in the U.S. In a move that surprised no one, the National Rifle Association (NRA) - identified by at least one major U.S. city as a terrorist organization - exploded under its tin foil hat and threatened a national boycott of Walmart.
But the mighty NRA didn't even have time to go shopping for new clothes to wear to court before it's pot-bellied and dentally-challenged members mounted a challenge of their own. For the past week angry gun owners have been issuing personal challenges to those big corporate giants by ignoring their "requests" and marching into stores with their weapons on proud display. And Walmart was target number one.
The hillbillies stood tall, and Walmart backed down!
And it looks as though the dangerous status quo will prevail - at least until the next shooting - at which time Walmart and the nation's other major retailers will have to make some tough decisions - again!
In the meantime, buyer beware!
Thoughts and prayers.
