Re: walmart asking for chl

That's the reg, but have they indicated that they'd be looking to enforce if Walmart doesn't actively check? Seems kinda capricious to me, but there are a bunch of people in government jobs with way too much time...

One thing for sure: You're very confident.
Personally, I hope this is a situation that I'm never in.

That makes a little more sense - at least it's a common complaint.
Course, as a little extra drama thrown in:
Most conservatives on this forum are against raising the minimum wage to a living wage.
And it's largely consumer behavior that makes Walmart profitable - we're attracted to price. When you can convince us all to only buy American made goods that are sold by companies that pay a living wage, this problem solves itself. Bringing in USA products and they lose market share to Target.

As someone who has a business selling imported goods, I'd love to sell goods that are made here in America, but the reality of that is that if I manufactured them here, prices would literally increase 5-10x. I'd have no customers unless we cut off the world market. So instead, I spend lots of time finding means to contract construction for things that meet what I expect out of a quality bar... That whole market doesn't seem to directly understand that I'd rather pay 30% more for a better product, instead, they'll swap a supply or part to improve their margin fractionally and I'll be left with a bunch of stuff that I can't (won't) sell because they just marginalized my product. It's an interesting business... But there are a large number of people here in the US that make a living doing it.

They could always ask me to leave which I would. On the other hand if I decided to purchase said beverage they can always ask for ID to confirm my age and I would present my CHL as a form of ID.
If you're not going to shop there due to their lack of support for 2nd amendment rights, my guess is that your choices of shopping anywhere will be substantially narrowed.

Give 'em a break if they're trying to protect their ability to do business. Protesting their rules in their house and recognizing that they don't post 30.06 or 30.07 - it's approaching a not-so-reasonable view.
