FarmerRick:
I would contact their manager, then their district manager. Walmart is supposed to be pro-ccw and have NEVER seen a sign at any Walmart before.
a quick google-ing of "Walmart CCW policy" resulted in this find, I cannot verify it's authenticity:
Here is a letter regarding Walmart's policy on CCW:
DATE: Friday, April 16,1999 2:13 PM
Subject: RE: Firearms
Thank you for contacting Wal-Mart regarding our concealed handgun policy. Wal-Mart was founded by Sam Walton on three basic principles. Strive for Excellence, Service to our Customers, and Respect for the Individual. It is that respect for the individual that led us to create the current policy pertaining to concealed handguns.
The following is our policy......If a Wal-Mart customer has been awarded a concealed handgun license by the state government, Wal-Mart will follow the direction of the state. However, if at anytime while on Wal-Mart property, that customer's concealed weapon becomes visible to Wal-Mart associates or customers, Wal-Mart reserves the right to ask the customer to either reposition the weapon so that it will not be visible, to remove the weapon completely or to leave Wal-Mart property, With the exception of law enforcement personnel, Wal-Mart does not allow any exposed weapons to be worn or carried in public view on Wal-Mart property or in Wal-Mart stores. Customers other than law enforcement personnel wearing or carrying a weapon in an exposed manner will be asked to leave the property immediately.
We appreciate your concern and trust that this message has addressed your concerns regarding this issue.
Thank you,
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

Pumpers, a convience store & gas station in Grand Island has a sign up in the window facing the inside of the store so you see it when you leave rather than before you come in.

Village Point movie theater, which is a Marcus Theater, is still posted. It is not in a "prominent" place, as it's stuck up on the glass above the doors. Don't know how long it has been there, but we just noticed it the other day. And I'm sad. I will probably call them this week, especially if the other people got a letter from Marcus saying the signs would come down.
EDIT: Apparently my husband has been trying to call the theater and can't reach a person. Will post again if we get any results.
EDIT AGAIN: Ok my husband just called the the theater, and spoke with the same woman who ordered all the signs taken down in July 2009 (Bridgette). She said that the regional director has, within the last few months, sent out notices recommending that the theaters put them back up "for the customers' safety". So the theaters have begun posting again. She was, however, either unwilling or unable to confirm that this is actual corporate policy. So some theaters may not still be posted.
I guess we can't go to our favorite theater anymore... :(

Also, and I can't believe that this one isn't already on the list, but Guns Unlimited in Omaha is posted that all guns must be secured in a case.
