I thought I had set the standard by starting the photodocumentation of Wally Walks (http://texaschlforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=174316#p174316" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), but this raises the bar! Well done.

The OP had a grand total of 12 posts before being banned. There's nothing to his claim.

His thread lives on.

I guess I missed it. What else did he do besides make this absurd claim about WalMart to get banned?

Start reading with this 2-post thread here: http://texaschlforum.com/viewtopic.php? ... 65#p795465" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and jump to here and read the next few posts, particularly when Charles gets involved: http://texaschlforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=794975#p794975" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

The man had no couth.

Love 'em or hate 'em, nobody argues with Starbucks' success in the coffee world. They are sort of the "Wal-Mart of Coffee." In fact, Wal-Mart sells Starbucks coffee.

Starbucks has been, to date, a model of how large corporations ought to react to the Chicken Littles of the anti-gun crowd. Anti-gun activists tried to press Starbucks into barring customers in open-carry states from carrying their firearms into Starbucks—either for fear that the combination of caffeine and gunpowder might prove deadly, or that...heaven forbid.....someone would express and enjoy a constitutional right detested by Chicken Little. Starbucks' response? In effect, it was: "Not our issue. We are not going to get involved in your politics, regardless of what they happen to be. We'll run our company according to our own internal guidelines ("fair-trade," etc.), but we are not going to get involved in your politics because it would be inappropriate for a corporation with a very broad customer base to do so." In other words, they did not take a stand. And that is good for business.

It may well be that Wally World is considering posting such restrictions in its stores. That's fine, I don't particularly enjoy going there, and I have alternatives. As others have pointed out, Target, HEB, and others are not posted. I dislike going to those stores too, but if Wally wants to shut me out, I'm fine with it, I'll go to the others. If they ALL post 30.06, I'll buy my groceries online or just give more of my business to smaller mom & pop stores.....who frankly, can use the money.

And the thing is, any such action by Wally would likely include more than just Texas 30.06. It would likely to do the equivalent in other states as well, many of which also have very strong pro-gun populations. So they aren't risking just alienating 40,000 Texan shoppers (the 10% or so of CHL holders who actually do carry regularly), they'll also be alienating a significant portion of the populations of all those other states as well. All told, that is a lot of customers. Can they survive it? Sure they can, but they will have also started a landslide reaction among all conservatives and libertarians who will begin to spend their shopping dollars elsewhere in solidarity with the ideal of gun rights, whether or not they are themselves gun owners/carriers. The end result is that Wally will become known as the chain that the democrat party bought.

THAT would be very bad for their business; and one of the reasons that Wally is successful is because they play long-ball. Long-ball takes account the future what-ifs, not just the immediate social gratification. It could happen, but I doubt that they're that stupid.
