Why are there so many shooting incidents and other gun crimes on Walmart property?

List of 2013 Walmart Shootings

Below is a list of all of the incidents in 2013 that involved shots fired on Walmart properties that I could find.  This list does not include all the non-shots fired incidents, like most armed robberies, gun thefts, or threats with guns.  For those, go to the main page and click on the keywords list.

(For a running list of 2014 incidents, go HERE. For a listing of the 53 different 2012 shooting incidents, go HERE.  That number was surpassed in early October of 2013.)

In 2013, non-shooting incidents have included 75 armed robberies with guns, 16 incidents of guns and ammo stolen, and one plotted mass shooting.  

12 incidents have involved people with legal conceal carry, which Walmart supports in their stores.

4 shootings were by Walmart employees!
