(433 posts)1. they could honor their earlier agreement not to sell firearms, which they entered into because of illegal conduct on their part as a corporation.
2. they could have security patrolling their parking lots - they often don't, and when they don't they have high crime problems
3. the problems at WalMart with firearms are all too often with people who are legal buyers and carriers, not just criminals. They should not only stop selling firearms, which is clearly part of the attraction of these people to their stores, they should post signs banning carrying in their stores. Clearly, with an incident every week -- and the frequency is increasing, not decreasing, for these problem gun incidents ---their current policies are not working for them, for their employees, or their customers.
WalMart has a very aggressive policy against shop lifting -- and good for them, they should.
They don't have a similar policy against people who endanger other people in their stores, but they should.
Currently, you drop your gun, or accidentally shoot someone while getting out your wallet, no problem, come back as often as you like, armed with as many guns as you like. Endangering other people should not be acceptable conduct.
