You highly overestimate the gun savvy of the typical Walmart Associate. I work there, I don't think it would be a good idea.

Ok so the looters have been warned!
The most valuable items, that criminals really want, are in the back!
I was thinking the same thing. Much more convienent with a loading dock and pallet jack.

They'd better bring a blowtorch, or be willing to threaten the life of the keyholder for the gun/ammo lockup, if they find who that is.

Too time consuming. The looters want to be in and out in seconds with lightweight/high value items.
I noticed something similar here back in March when the whole covid crap started.
All of the guns were gone from the display cases, I asked an associate what was going on and he said they were just being safe!
I haven't been there in the last few weeks so I don't know if they have removed any guns yet.

No, it would be racist and offensive in our current climate. Let's hope there really is climate change.

Walmart reverses decision to remove guns and ammo from store shelves
“As the current incidents have remained geographically isolated, we have made the decision to begin returning these products to the sales floor today,” a company spokesperson said.

That news--that Walmart Conceals the ammo & guns and still sells, If Avail--came out yesterday.
dogtown tom just said that Walmart reversed their "lawyer decision".

Precisely. Just showing the fallacy of Hartkopf and Duke Connor's posts.
You can bet the move back to the shelves will be slower than pulling them was.
The looters now get all the time they need. Police can stop the looting at a building or two but once the volume of thieves overwhelms the police, they will be forced to stand by and watch. I’m not saying they have the ability to crack a safe but they’ll have plenty of time to try.

They might. But it will be time-consuming. And it can't be done with the cheap tools sold in the store.

Every time I have to step into a Walmart because their presence has gutted the local mom and pop stores to the point of closing, God kills a kitten. I can feel it.

Great ! I step into one 5 days a week, although I called in sick today.

It gives my the warm fuzzies.
I was in our local Bass Pro Shop Thursday afternoon this week. I took a routine browsing stroll upstairs after checking in at the online orders / returns counter while they fetched my online order package from the place always referred to as "in the back". There was the largest selection and quantity of 1 lb containers of smokeless powder I'd seen since late May, no primers with the inside joke sign to inquire about primers at the (never staffed when I've ever been there) knife counter, not unreasonable amount of component bullets and such like readily available on the shelves for customers to take to the checkout registers below. So I haven't seen that sporting goods store locking up ammunition or components yet (beyond the primers sign that was there during my prior trip there as well).

Nope. They are already putting guns and ammo back on the shelves and display cases claiming unrest was "isolated" - https://apnews.com/article/philadelphia-6ad4a576a2d869ec775dfd5052e9182b
More likely their internal poll/contacts are pointing out possible Trump win (Who will apply heavy NG/federal LE presence to suppress rioting) and further backlash/boycott by gun owners.

''Wallyworld returning guns and ammo to shelves.''
OH NO!!!
They WILL move the fire water // all beer wines pkg liquor // to the dreaded 'back
room' then? Hammers? Kitchen knives, screwdrivers? Shurikens er, excuse me,saw blades?
Sounds like to me, an alleged abundance of caution was a drop or two ofpanic.
All jokes aside, I had to go there (<gag>) yesterday so I strolled thru the sporting goo...BOOM. More shotgun shells (Win AA party paks) on the shelves then I've seen in MONTHS. Some other shotgun shells. Waterfowl shells. Rifle ammo in display case, including popular former and currentMILITARY cartridges i.e. 308, 30-06, 270, others.
Wonder if there will be a 'tactical move' of long guns to the glass cases today? Radios are blasting, ''is the coast clear?'' ''clear'' ''MOVING''
One aisle at a time? Two? Halloween
costumes?

If you have ZERO confidence in you local government's ability or intent to protect you and your property... the decision to get defensive and remove high interest from the shelves is not unreasonable... in my view. What actually needs to happen is for voters in those places to do something about the folks in elected positions who have utterly failed in their duty to the public..
For those who live in places where the above situation has been in place for some years... you have my sympathies... People generally get the government they deserve....

The reversed course. Not much let to discuss...
