The nation\u2019s largest retailer will also discontinue handgun sales in Alaska (the only state it currently sells handguns) and \u201crespectfully requests\u201d that customers refrain from openly carrying handguns in states where the practice is allowed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe know these decisions will inconvenience some of our customers, and we hope they will understand,\u201d CEO Doug McMillon said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2019\/09\/03\/the-full-memo-from-walmarts-ceo-about-pulling-back-on-gun-sales.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"walmart-caves-stops-selling-handgun-and-short-barreled-rifle-ammo\" title=\"Walmart Caves, Stops Selling Handgun and 'Short-Barreled Rifle' Ammo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">memo<\/a> distributed to employees. \u201cAs a company, we experienced two horrific events in one week, and we will never be the same.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walmart\u2019s decision comes after two high-profile massacres at\nstores in El Paso and Mississippi, which McMillon cites as justification for\nthese policy changes. The company has also faced intense political pressure\nfrom the anti-gun lobby, including activists like David Hogg and politicians\nlike Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McMillion estimates that Walmart currently accounts for\nabout 20 percent of ammunition sales in the country. Once the company sells\nthrough its stock of handgun ammunition and 5.56\/.223, he estimates Walmart\u2019s\nshare of the market will drop to about 6 percent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not be to outdone, grocery chain Kroger has also asked its\ncustomers to stop openly carrying firearms in its stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKroger has demonstrated with our actions that we recognize the growing chorus of Americans who are no longer comfortable with the status quo and who are advocating for concrete and common sense gun reforms,\u201d Jessica Adelman, group vice president of corporate affairs, said in a statement, per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2019\/09\/03\/kroger-joins-walmart-asks-shoppers-not-to-openly-carry-guns-in-stores.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"walmart-caves-stops-selling-handgun-and-short-barreled-rifle-ammo\" title=\"Walmart Caves, Stops Selling Handgun and 'Short-Barreled Rifle' Ammo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"CNBC (opens in a new tab)\">CNBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO:  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/walmart-pulls-down-pro-2a-shirt-sold-online-caving-to-anti-gun-activists\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"walmart-caves-stops-selling-handgun-and-short-barreled-rifle-ammo\" title=\"Walmart Caves, Stops Selling Handgun and 'Short-Barreled Rifle' Ammo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Walmart Pulls Down Pro-2A Shirt Sold Online, Caving to Anti-Gun Activists<\/a> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As justification for its decision to prohibit open carry, McMillon\ncited a recent incident in which a man entered a Walmart store with a firearm to\n\u201cmake a statement\u201d and frighten employees and customers.
