My client gets confronted by an angry anti-gun Karen Walmart manager in Cross Lanes, West Virginia. They call the cops, who arrive at DEFCON 11 and tase him, arrest him, and then ask questions later. He lost a great job because of it, and now may lose his home.
See the surveillance footage and listen to the 911 call yourself, and let me know what you think.

Walmart as well as Target has a few employees who seem to be a little low on the marbles.
And it seems the Police have no common sense when it comes to lawful citizens.
I could see if some was a New York transplant freaking out seeing a gun in a West Virginia walmart
When I was working at Walmart, a man walked in with a gun in a holster. This was about 8 or 9 years ago. I saw the gun, and it freaked me out. Aside from the police, I had never seen anyone carry a gun in a holster, except in westerns on television. I didn’t say anything, but did go the opposite direction of the man. Over time, I realized, guns are not much different than cars, when it comes down to it. We are all on the honor system. We get in our cars, trusting that someone with a sick mind doesn’t decide to crash into us head on. Not much different with guns. We hope that someone will not go nuts and start taking people out. When I think about it, a lot of things can be weapons.
In all fairness, as an employee at Wal-Mart, we have to watch a video every few months pushing ADD (avoid, defend, deny) a product of Texas State University. It makes the employee hypersensitive to gun "vilance" or anything having to do with guns.
Sue the Karen's. Bigly
Idiots…..End Qualified Immunity !
I had a similar thing happen to me at walmart course i dont think they called the cops there was a cop already there but he never made contact with me he was there for something else and they (walmart employees) waited until after i made my purchase to follow me from the store then when i went to take a selphie capturing them in the photo “escorting” me out they claimed i was trespassed. It’s one of 2 stores in town ive been back there since on multiple occasions whilst armed no further issues as far as i know. What i dont get is why would you walk up to someone you suspect might be a mass shooter and start an argument with them.
The United States of Walmart.
Sue everybody
"But of course, If there's gonna be drama, it's gonna happen in Walmart."
Truly truly I say unto you, if there be drama, it be at Walmart.
Unironically he did "Yield" his gun when the police showed up. Man this is completely vexing.
10:33 if it’s true, they asked him to leave several times and he refused. He was criminal trespassing with a weapon. He deserved everything I got.

He hid all day in a box and stole it
They sell guns and ammo. BUT piss and moan when you have one. I BEEN BOYCOTTING THIS DUMP FOR YEARS
The update to this case won't play for me. The message says the video is private.
Pigs.
I think the big picture view is being ignored. Due to response by the Walmart employees and the police, the state should reconsider their open carry law.
Lawyers can see dollar signs here, that's a given. It's been 2+ years now so I wonder what the outcome has been?
We can't adopt fast enough the same simple ordinance Kennesaw GA. has had on its books since 1982. Listen Up America.
Due to that ink on paper at the Court House, it must be assumed that Every head of household owns and maintains a firearm.
CRIMINALS avoid that kind of guessing game. It's GUARANTEED to continue to severely deter criminal activity anywhere and anytime it's tried.
That was sloppy reporting. His life gets ruined.
The caller says that Walmart had a sign requesting no concealed carry.
OK, so the man went in with scary shotgun and pistol for all to see. It would be great to get an update on how Walmart settled with this customer.
you saw the lady at the door, come over and talk to the other one, they’re the ones that started the whole thing. They probably thought somebody was going to waste a two dollar shell on them! I would not they’re probably ignorant and they have no teeth anyway.
Walmart is going to Walmart 🤷♂️
I'm sorry but "open carry" is just plain ignorant in populated areas.. Obviously, it makes people uncomfortable which violates their right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". In a rural setting, no problem. On your own property, no problem. I do agree that his rights were seriously violated, and the Walmart employee who called the police lied, saying he was asked multiple times to leave.
The only way to get any assistance in Walmart is to be legally carrying a gun.
Then you will get all kinds of assistance.
Walmart employees are not exactly high school graduates so of course they do this.
Be realistic! He did not get tased for open carry, he got tased for not leaving the store after he was asked to. He technically was trespassing!
Just a click bait video!
If they’re so concerned and afraid, why are 1/2 dozen employees surrounding him?😂
Walmart has more managers working than cashiers.
I think any business that doesn't allow citizens to enter while legally carrying a firearm should be REQUIRED to provide armed security. Hopefully Walmart is successfully sued, along with the officers involved and just as important, the Walmart manager loses their job just like this innocent man did.
