Walmart pulls guns, ammunition from displays, officials cite possible civil unrest following presidential election

Walmart corporate officials have removed guns and ammunition from their shelves citing fears that people may break into their stores and steal them if any civil unrest occurs as a result of the presidential election Tuesday.

Customers can still buy them in the Walmart stores that sell those items, but they will not be on display.

From USA Today:

"We have seen some isolated civil unrest and as we have done on several occasions over the last few years, we have moved our firearms and ammunition off the sales floor as a precaution for the safety of our associates and customers," Walmart said in a statement to USA TODAY. "These items do remain available for purchase by customers.”
