Walmart, Kroger, Walgreens, CVS, Wegmans and Schnucks each announced they would prohibit open carry in its stores. In addition, Walmart said it would stop selling certain kinds of guns and ammunition. These companies want to be on the right side of history, but their leaders also know that standing up for gun safety is good for business.
Given America's gun violence crisis, which kills over 100 Americans every day, CEOs are finally starting to speak out and support policies and laws that will protect their employees and customers in the communities where they operate.
