Yeah, I first thought Photoshop. Someone moving the sign makes sense, too. I can't imagine WalMart set that up intentionally.Walmart apologizes for "Own The School" sign placed on top of gun display - Trending & Viral News - 13 WTHR Indianapolis
A little news story. The more I look the more fishy it seems.

That's one issue with social media. Everything can be national news in an instant, and no one has to think critically about what they see/read.

I want to know what kind of Walmart has displays like that, where you can actually see the guns close up. Local Walmart has them in a glass case behind a counter, area roped off with employees only sign. Rarely do I see anyone at the counter, so no easy way to tell exactly what model firearms they have or what the price is. When someone is at the counter, there is suddenly a swarm of customers around them asking questions.
My first thought was Photoshop as well, or perhaps a visual perspective trick (aka trick photography), but apparently it really did happen and WalMart admits the sign was actually where it appears to have been in the photo in their Twitter responses.
Those who advocate carry on public school property should be pleased WalMart is supporting them. The irony, however is this was in the Evansville WalMart, where apparently firearms to "own the schools" can be advocated, but the city doesn't want anyone to "own the public parks and zoo" with any firearms. Seems a bit incongruous to me.
