If I understand the new law correctly, I wouldn't be betting my LTC. I would only be betting a $200 fine, at most. Losing wouldn't be fun, but there wouldn't be any lasting consequence.

Re: Son had a weird encounter at Walmart
It looks like we're going to have to agree to disagree on this point. I don't have a problem with that. It happens among the best of friends.

Re: Son had a weird encounter at Walmart
1. Walmart Corporate's policy is to follow local law on the carry of firearms. This has been discussed here many times.Keith B wrote:Pariah3j wrote:I have to agree w/ Mojo here - I've worked various retail/minimum wage jobs over the years. Just about all of them gave me as an employee that right to refuse service, and to me that would go with the ability to give notice. Now it might not stand, and it may get them chewed out/fired later, but in that moment I believe we would have to assume they do.mojo84 wrote:Why would you not consider the greeter as someone that has apparent authority to give notice?

It wasn't the door greeter, was it? If it was, I would not see that as someone with the "apparent authority" to give you notice.Anyone wearing a Walmart vest or name tag would have 'apparent authority' to tell you you must leave. It does not specify a particular job title like 'the owner, the asset protection manager, the janitor, etc', so if they are an employee, they wold have apparent authority.
2. If you or anyone you know has worked at Walmart, you should be aware that they just barely authorize their employees to breath the air in their stores. It isn't Sam Walton's Walmart any more. Employees are empowered to do nothing any more, unless you're some level of manager.
