Fortunately that’s not how it works in your first sentence.
In your second sentence, you are correct though. If there where more people like you, you would win because I would go out of business. That isn’t the case however.
The have violated exactly zero of the amendments in the bill of rights.
"Publicly traded" != public sector.
IT's a private business no matter how you try and spin it.

Legally they cannot discriminate against the civil rights of the supercitizenty, so th second tier of citizen ship is fair game for discrimination. Okay, got it.

Good.
Cops have nothing to do with this, don’t muddy up the discussion with that too now. Especially considering they are only against open carry. Any citizen can carry a concealed firearm into Walmart.
I’m frankly shocked this is an argument here. If I recall correctly, this is actually one of the few topics I was in full agreement on with some of the people I blocked.
The bill of rights has nothing to do with this, and gun owners were never a protected class. Stupid concept (protected classes), but it is what it is.
If we are to have property rights at all, then this is a hard but true reality that we must accept. There’s no difference between Walmart’s ability to ban guns than there is your liberal aunt Bettie’s. If a property owner tells you no guns, it’s no guns.

No open carry in NYS, so does not affect me. I carry (concealed) ANYWHERE the law does not prohibit it, period. Would I support a ban to shop @ Walmart? Absolutely. Do I care that they, and CVS, and whomever else made these requests? F*ck no. If anything else I have made adjustments to have at least 1 preferably 2 extra mags. I forego a flashlight to compensate for weight (while droopy pants fit right in @ Walmart, lol) as I don't want to adjust my pants every 5 minutes.
I and I alone am responsible for my own and my family's safety and security. I'm not going to announce it; but rest assured I am ready.

When I enter Walmart I’m always greeted with a smile even though my Glock and spare mag are tucked in my waistband and inconspicuously covered by my shirt . Open carry in public makes no sense to me not saying we shouldn’t be allowed the freedom , it’s just not ideal for self defense .
I get it can be a pain in the ass to get a ccw in states where open carry is legal , it can’t possibly be any worse than here in NY ! I kept saying oh it’s such a pain , this is such BS for many years . Finally I said fuck it I want my permit so I did it and it was far more challenging for me than most in this state . I have no pity for people who don’t have the determination to just apply and play by the BS rules ( rules I strongly disagree with ) but quit bitchin and fucking do it !! If you don’t the gun grabbers win .
As far as Walmart asking not to open carry so be it fuck em it’s their store and the choice is in fact yours. With what we are currently facing as gun owners in this country the whining little bitch fest over this Walmart thing is actually less than insignificant.

Glad we live in a republic and not a democracy. Pretty sure the "theres more of me than you so tough" argument would not go over well with Madison, Monroe, and company.

Marine Cpl., first I want to say that I'm not calling you out....just using some quotes from your post.
I’ll be 100 percent honest here. I think open carry is stupid out in public because you give up your tactical advantage but if you want to be stupid enough to give up that tactical advantage, I believe you have a right to.
One of the biggest things about open vs concealed carry in my mind is this...... many people (especially in states such as ours where open carry is verboten) are soooo concerned with exposing or "printing" while carrying on various tasks. Personally I could give a fuck if I bend my fat ass over and my shirt rides up for a brief moment exposing my EDC. Yes, I dress around trying to keep covered but sometimes shit happens. Folks get all in a tizzy about that happening. In some states it is my understanding (NC comes to mind assuming I understand/recall their laws correctly) that act could be considered "brandishing to cause alarm"? Oddly NC even has open carry...go figure.
Guess my point is though I agree with the keep it concealed idea for all of it's various reasons, but I don't/wouldn't get my painties in a twist if someone ends up exposed.

Printing and open carrying are entirety two different things.
