\nVATICAN ENQUIRER (TheLapine) BENTONVILLE , AR \u2014 The 4,800 Walmart stores in the U.S. will not ban shoppers from openly carrying pistols or rifles.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re upset they can no longer open carry in Chipotle or Sonic but most of our stores have McDonalds so they can bring their guns to Walmart to grab a burger and shop for pesticide-free tomatoes and strawberries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Open carry supporters cite their 2nd Amendment rights but laws are enacted on a state-by-state level. Currently only 14 states require licenses to carry a visible firearm but 19 states including California have been firm in saying that they \u201ckinda don\u2019t like the idea.\u201d<\/p>\n

Open carry opponents point out that the 2nd Amendment refers to a \u201cwell regulated militia\u201d and not the carrying around of AK47s by people who could be loosely connected to reality.<\/p>\n

\u201cWalmart is the largest retailer of guns in the U.S\u2026.they sell more guns than tube socks,\u201d said Anna Walker of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence.<\/p>\n

In the same press release, the chain store says it will begin carrying organic produce and a wide selection of free-range chickens.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe listen to our customers and they said overwhelmingly that they want to shop for healthier food with the comfort and security of being armed,\u201d Walmart President and CEO Doug McMillan told Fox News.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut if you\u2019re shopping for organic bananas do you really need your Colt M16 semi-automatic strapped on your back?\u201d<\/p>\n

Memphis Walmart shopper Dwayne Witters told Fox News that he carries his Beretta everywhere he goes.<\/p>\n

\u201cBad guys hide their guns,\u201d said the 26-year old drywaller.<\/p>\n
