Post by: casper on November 03, 2013, 07:18:59 PM: I asked the manager and he said everyone there was on board with it. Yes I asked for written permission as well, just to cover my bases.

Post by: casper on November 03, 2013, 10:42:59 PM: Sorry, yes, I got the name & signature of the manager I spoke with. No details of the conversation though. Upon further thought I won't risk it, even though the interaction was a positive one, and he assured me there wouldn't be a problem.

There shouldn't be a problem since Walmart's corp policy is to follow Fed and State laws regarding firearms...if you have a problem contact Corporate in Arkansas and report it.

Post by: MI_XD on November 05, 2013, 07:31:54 AM: Does written permission to carry without a CPL override the fact that they sell liquor? Is that in the same MCL?
