    In the post I responded to, they said there were “literally no Walmarts.” They didn’t say anything about the continental US. You only said anything about continental when you responded to my clarification, which is why I reminded you that I specifically said Alaska. Additionally, Alaska is part of the “continental” US. Perhaps you meant contiguous?

    Walmart began a “no firearms” policy in 2019 after Parkland; shortly thereafter they quickly, quietly, but unevenly reversed those policies in 2020 due to “unrest” around the election–but not in all states.

    Firearm policy at Walmart depends somewhat on the state you’re in. Their firearms policy is no longer nationally consistent, though generally your description is accurate for the majority of Walmarts but, again, not all of them.

    Nevertheless, as recently as a year ago, handguns were available in Walmart in Anchorage, because my friend and I each bought one when we were visiting friends and going bush hiking/camping and picking up supplies.

    I didn’t dismiss your question, I responded to your statement. The post I replied to wasn’t a question. You only posed questions when you responded to my comment. Regardless, relax.
