A small business is nothing if it’s not agile. I’ll bet that Impact Guns has nowhere near the buying power that Walmart has, but they (and those similarly situated) will be digging into the big box’s bottom line in more product lines than Walmart abandoned.
As for me, I’m not a fan of open carry at all. I’m a little alarmed every time I’m in Walmart or anywhere else and see someone strapped. With that said, that person has the absolute right to carry his weapon anyway he chooses. My discomfort is something I have to wrestle with, not him. Freedom is like that!
