      Not to mention, in small towns it can be literally the only place to go (except Dollar General these days) because it closed up all the small stores. It becomes a social meeting spot.

      This is a Dayton suburb, so probably not the case here, but I live in a town with less than 100,000 people and the two Walmarts here are full of people hanging out and chatting. It also seems to be a place people take their kids to in order to get their kids out of the house. We actually do have other options in this town and Walmart is still a social center. Despite one of them being a couple of miles from a shopping mall.

      On top of that, instead of security at the door, they have an elderly person saying hello to you.

      If people want to commit mass shootings, Walmart seems like a pretty good target.
