I have never seen an "Assault Weapon" in a Wal Mart. What do they look like?

Used to they all carried long guns. Before that, some carried pistols. A few years ago to reduce liability the company decided to winnow it down to 1 store per district typically would carry guns. Others would carry ammo only. We have several here in Chattanooga that carry guns but they can be in different districts even though they are geographically close to one another.

Right now you can't order shit. They are pretty much all sold out. Just keep calling and stopping in and hope you picked a day when an order came in.
One by me received an order of a single 6920 yesterday. Looks like sporadic and small deliveries will be the norm. |

I'm pretty sure that they base each store's product mix on local market demand, and, in the case of firearms, neighborhood crime stats. I've never seen any in an urban Walmart.

After the shooting in Newtown our Walmart removed all of the 'black rifles', even though they were just .22 LR versions from the display cabinet. There was a sign that said the 'lock was broken' on the display counter.
Prior to that they had rifles, .22 caliber AR-style rifles, and shotguns. |

Well if the district thing is true why do they only sell guns in the least populated areas? We have three walmarts pop about 250k no guns yet walmarts an hour away with a pop of less than 10k sell guns. Doesn't seem to make logical sense to me.

Nobody answered the question yet.
What is the real reason a firearm-stocking store that doesn't carry ARs wont order an AR? I mean, if they can sell an 870, why not an LE6920? |

I have four walmarts within 20 miles or so. The one closest to me carries firearms. The rest don't. I just spoke to the sporting goods manager at my closest Walmart, and asked if they can order AR type rifles. She said no, that it takes a special "permit" to order "assault weapons" from their distributer. I don't know if I believe this. Is she pushing her own agenda, or is it a Walmart policy, or is she telling the truth? Ankeny, IA has had a few AR type rifles. I don't know why they can sell them and yours can't though. |

Some districts give Walmart tax breaks and (zoning rights)? In agreement that they don`t sell black-guns. Have 4 within an hour, no black guns, not even sp. order.

Local one in fredericksburg sells ARs, but the stores to the north in northern Va do not sell guns at all. Someone was in today asking about ordering something and the gun he wanted was a normally stocked gun so ordering was not possible. They told him that he could only special order items they did not usually stock.
On a funny note, the guy was pointing out to his wife that since none if the guns in the case had pistol grips that they were all going to be banned... even the bolt action rifles. He has read Feinstein's bill and knew all about it. |

I was in my ocal Walmart this morning and they were not only sold out of ARs, but their entire stock of long guns (no hadguns here) looked pretty thin compared to the usual. They did have one of the Sig 22lr rifles left.

One of my best friends special ordered a Smith and Wesson 500 magnum, Alaska Commemorative Edition from Walmart. He waited 6 weeks on it to come in.
It was beautiful. Had a Grizzly bear on in in Gold. I believe he paid 1200 for that pistol. I went to the Walmart by my house tonight. They had ZERO .223/5.56 ammo. Plenty of 7.62x39mm brass cased Winchester though in the value packs. |

Well, you posted a bunch of garbage without reading my update. My local store that sells guns would be happy to order anything in the catalog they can order from. They process the order the same as any other gun store would. They just don't have authorization from corporate to order from the corporate-approved distributor that carries AR rifles. |
