I can see that happening

They’d rather be moral and virtuous.
There are (at least) two sides to that argument.Don Fischer said:Open carry is little more than gun people saying in your face to non gun people. Get a concealed carry license, they don't care about that! Considering the number f people going into their store's, I think they are being reasonable. I can carry open but unless I as out hunting, I never do. I have no desire to provoke either the idiot anti or the people actually afraid of gun's.
One approach to treating phobias is desensitization -- gradually increasing exposure to the phobic agent to allow the person to recognize that the agent is not dangerous to them. Consequently, the notion that we should only carry concealed, even where open carry is legal, is in some ways counter-productive. While carrying openly can (and almost certainly will) trigger a hoplophobic response in some people, I think if fence-sitters were exposed to more people in clean, neat, "business casual" type clothing who happen to be wearing a gun on their hip while going about their daily affairs, the message would be conveyed that not everyone who carries a gun is a neck-bearded troglodyte and a menace to society.I coined the term "hoplophobia" in 1962 in response to a perceived need for a word to describe a mental aberration consisting of an unreasoning terror of gadgetry, specifically, weapons. The most common manifestation of hoplophobia is the idea that instruments possess a will of their own, apart from that of their user. This is not a reasoned position, but when you point this out to a hoplophobe he is not impressed because his is an unreasonable position. To convince a man that he is not making sense is not to change his viewpoint but rather to make an enemy. Thus hoplophobia is a useful word, but as with all words, it should be used correctly.
Our remaining assortment will be even more focused on the needs of hunting and sport shooting enthusiasts.
The ripple effect of Walmart selling out and not re-stocking is going to be significant because of shipping charges and hazmat charges too since it's ammo. The effect is going to be significant.
