The text of the article notes this change concerns "open carry" only. Even in Alaska, this seems unlikely to affect many Walmart customers.

  in alaska you have to have permission to enter private property while in possesion of a firearm, publicly accessed private property is a different case and a sign usually is used to notify people you dont want them to enter with a firearm, as well as to serve as a reminder in prohibited or restricted areas such as one of the bases or a federal institution. That being said if you ever visit Alaska your best assumption is that everyone, even a little kid is carrying or has nearly immediate access to a firearm. There is a reason for the dearth of firearms and that reason[s] is about 1000lbs covered in fur whith 6inch claws and pointy teeth. when a brownie starts tearing into your cabin you want a large calibre weapon and quick recharge. 44 magnum or large cartridge 30 cal rifle with a magazine ie Ruger mini 30 is the usual choice there are a lot of firearms in alaska and the aquisition/possesion laws are loose but there is little leniency for weapons misconduct.
