Just a heads up. I got an unconfirmed report in an email from the VCDL. While unconfirmed, it is entirely possible, and AFAIK (IANAL) within Wal-Mart's rights, that they have permanently banned a customer for OC'ing in a Kentucky store. From the email:
VCDL has been made aware of an incident at a Walmart in Kentucky where someone open carrying a handgun was approached by police and asked to sign a trespass document saying he acknowledges being banned for Walmart property anywhere in the U.S., indefinitely.
That contradicts the official policy as laid out by Walmart's CEO.
I have also heard from a third party that Walmart is going to post their stores "no open carry." However, I'm not taking that as Gospel until someone actually sees such a sign.
In the mean time, I recommend that you do not open carry in Walmart for at least a week until we see if such a sign materializes or we get more definitive information from Walmart.
Concealed carry remains a safe option, as Walmart's policy specifically allows for such.
