Walmart will restock its gun and ammunition displays across thousands of U.S. stores, reversing a decision revealed earlier this week to remove them from public viewing.

“After civil unrest earlier this week resulted in damage to several of our stores, consistent with actions we took over the summer, we asked stores to move firearms and ammunition from the sales floor to a secure location in the back of the store in an abundance of caution,” Walmart said in a new statement Friday, reports The Wall Street Journal. “As the current incidents have remained geographically isolated, we have made the decision to begin returning these products to the sales floor today.”
