No kidding. 51% is worse than the 30.06 signage for private businesses, because it does not even allow the property owner to set their own rules. The state is overruling not only our right to self-defense, but also private property rights.
By the way, some things you might be more likely to do with a gun in a bar that you won't do at Wal Mart would be: to have to fight off a drunk idiot whose impaired judgment encourages him to commit an assault; defend yourself from a mugger while walking back to your car, etc.
It happens that Wal Marts are not built in the parts of town with the same level of risk as those where they tend to put bars. Well-lit parking lots, excellent visibility, plenty of people around, etc. are typical of Wal Marts but very atypical of a bar.
