... [W]e [have] announced changes surrounding the firearm and ammunition category as well as making a change to the Open Carry of Firearms policy within our U.S. stores and clubs. Additionally, we are encouraging our nation’s leaders to take action to address the issue of gun safety. Below are the specific changes:

• After selling through our current inventory commitments, we will discontinue sales of short-barrel rifle ammunition... that, while commonly used in some hunting rifles, can also be used in large capacity clips on military-style weapons.
• We will sell through and discontinue handgun ammunition.
• We will sell through and discontinue handgun sales in Alaska marking our complete exit from handguns.
• ... [W]e are requesting that customers no longer openly carry firearms into our stores or Sam’s Clubs in states where “open carry” is permitted – unless they are authorized law enforcement officers.
• We are encouraging our nation’s leaders to move forward and strengthen background checks and to remove weapons from those who have been determined to pose an imminent danger. We do not sell military-style rifles, and we believe the reauthorization of the Assault Weapons ban should be debated to determine its effectiveness... Our CEO, Doug McMillon, is sending letters to the White House and the Congressional leadership that outline our position and call for action on these common-sense measures.
