Don’t have any problems with handguns I guess

They have a problem with long guns knocking stuff off the shelves.
So, I guess they are fine with short barrel rifles and maybe just maybe carbines?
OP
I’m sure the corporate mind thinks all rifles and shotguns are called long guns
Well I can beat that. At the local DMV office.
Well, there is a significant difference between 'loitering' and waiting in line--at least in my old school thought processes.

They may just not want folks knocking stuff off of the shelves.
the new official signs here in S.C. say "No Concealable Weapons". and so I've interpreted that as to me long guns are allowed in the places with the signs.
In fact I'm pretty sure somewhere down in the concealable weapons code it says a handgun longer than 12" is not concealable.

Why the hell would anyone want to carry a long gun into a Walmart anyway? If I saw someone coming into a Walmart with a shotgun I'd get the hell out of there LOL !!!!!!
Around here I only see the "No Beretta" signs.

Well, as you can see by looking at my traffic here I don't participate much, but I can't resist this one. About 45 years ago, sometime in the late 1970s or early 1980s I was driving on the main street of a small city when I saw a sign that stood right out. There was a side road between two retail buildings, (almost an alley, but not quite), On the top was an arrow pointing down the side road and the copy read "PLANNED PARENTHOOD, ENTER IN REAR". Too bad it was long before everyone was carrying a camera!

This appears to be a corporate policy for all Brookshire's stores across its footprint. Their home office is in Tyler, Texas, and I find this policy odd.
There has to be a story behind it.

Well then, open carry the gun!!
Personally, I don’t think any type of gun should be banned from stores, or anywhere. However, if it is not customary in that location, no one should be surprised to be scrutinized and followed by any authorities.
Of course, there is the question of what is a combat shotgun. In Viet Nam, ordinary pump shotguns were used in combat.
There are people who use to say why in the hell would anyone want to take a handgun into Walmart.
Our government at work.Well I can beat that. At the local DMV office.
Much ^ like braille next to doors. How does a blind person know where the door is much less where the braille is posted?
I always thought braille on a drive through ATM was senseless but after seeing some people drive it makes perfect sense
Best Braille signs I ever saw were in a plant at a hospital. In the boiler room were signs that said Hot Surfaces. Would have been so bad, but they were attached so that heat was conducted to the signs surface.

My credit union has a sign that states, open carry is prohibited and constitutes trespass. I understand a business not allowing open carry.
" How does a blind person know where the door is much less where the braille is posted?"
Well, it's like this: some chain stores have basic floor plans. Take Menards for instance: the bathrooms are in similar locations in all the stores. The snag is some stores are 'backward' meaning the floor plan is reversed. Son is not profoundly blind so can sort of negotiate his way w/o physical guidance. He was in one of the 'backward' floor plan stores, found his way to the area where the bathrooms were but just before entering the door on the right, he checked the braille placard and discovered the bathroom locations were reversed also. In the blind world, there are commonalities such as where braille placards are placed which helps blind folks find them. I've seen guide dogs look for these and lead their person to the wall where the placards are but I don't know if that's universal.

As to why do the ATM drive thru keypads have braille, I would imagine it's because the keypads are a common part & not all ATMs are drive thru.
"Blind" does not necessarily mean that someone has no vision. A person can be considered blind who still sees, but only poorly. They may well see where a door is, but not much more. I have been told that reading braille is rather difficult, and that few people really learn to do so, which makes me wonder why it is so prevalent on signs. For many people considered blind, just making the letters much larger on a sign would allow them to read it.

Does that jive with Oklahoma carry laws? Texas has signage on where and how you can carry. Also, if given a verbal OR written request to leave the premises, you can then be charged with trespass. That's why many say Texas has Permitless Carry, not Constitutional carry. Too many restrictions on how and where you can carry.

The ADA had a hand in making sure that signs are available in Braille. While I'm not opposed to accommodating some people's disabilities to give them access to the same things to which I have access, the ADA sometimes takes things too far, and a lot of the lawsuits that use the ADA regs against businesses are just a grab for money. So businesses have to protect themselves by doing things that seem silly.
Son made it through a BS degree reading braille but I don't think he uses braille much anymore. His job instructions are verbal and the people he works with understand his limitations. His phone reads his text messages and functions by verbal commands.
Funny thought just ran across my brain. Years back he was asked about reading the braille sign on the bathroom door. When asked the difference between 'MEN' and 'WOMEN', he didn't hesitate with the response: "Well you know braille is a bunch of bumps and spaces right? The bumps on WOMEN are bigger." Pause Pause, chuckle chuckle.
