Yep, last weekend I went to buy a few WWB's and maybe check the prices on a 10/22. All they had was a couple BB guns. I was so disgusted that I left without even buying the ammo.
I won't be back. |

Ok...  ....I was out in kali from about late 2002 through late '05--they did not sell guns PERIOD, as has been mentioned before.Someone mentioned the Melbourne, FL store--Which one was it? The one on Wickham, or the I-95, or the one right off the beach? FWIW, Charlotte, Pineville and Albemarle stores still sells them. I ought to go and ask to see if they have "heard" of anything. Sometimes they clearance them CHEAP! |

Sad part is, the long time small store bait/fishing/hunting place here in town just closed down. One of the major reasons given was everyone buying all there "stuff" at the super wally world just down the street. How funny (NOT) it would be for wally world to go "upscale" just after they run the last bait shop out of town. * Note: I hate the word "upscale". I've never,ever seen anything good come from it.

+ 1000 "I hate wal-mart because they put my local mom and pop store out of business." They forget the fact that mom and pop had been over charging their ass by >25% since their grandpa's days. Wal-Mart has done more good for lower and middle class Americans than any politician ever thought about. That's right, it's called capitalism, the market dictates which businesses survive and which ones fail. Too many of you social commies would love to see the government (led by dems) take wal-mart down a notch. Screw you, come up with your own successful business if you don't like the way Wally World does things! |

This really is bad news. Walmart kept prices down, for guns and ammo.

Think all you want, but China Mart is one of the nations biggest retailers of firearms. Not to mention exposing all those ignorant fucking soccer mom sheeples to big bad guns at every shopping trip. Eliminating them from view (and subsequently, out of mind) they become "more" evil. It's a baaaaaa'a'a'a''aaaad sign when one of the largest firearms retailers in the U.S. stop selling in a large portion of their stores. |

Some fat bitch in sporting goods let me know they don't sell "weapons" in WalMart in Jersey. I guess I imagined the rack of bows behind her.

I’ve never seen a firearm in a WM that interested me.
But I still really, really hate to see this happen. I remember when all sorts of stores carried firearms: Sears, Montgomery Wards, Penny’s, Western Auto - even Woolworth’s. I bought my first handgun (a neat little Beretta .22) at a K-Mart. For all it’s faults, WM is an enormous chain that did at least expose non-gun owners to the idea that firearms were a legitimate product being sold to people like themselves. And it did let children of non-gun owners see what a firearm looked like. Pretty soon firearm owners will be relegated to slinking around to obscure little shops in out-of-way places to purchase a firearm. I have no doubt WM’s motivation is primarily financial. Still, this is a spectacular victory for the anti’s. |

Did you notice any Walmart up here tossing their firearms? It's been a while since I've been to one but, I don't think they would want to do that up here. (And yes, they do sell handguns in the AK Walmart's) |

Wal Mart sporting goods employees are morons anyway...they don't know their heads from their asses and have no business trying to sell guns.
Save it for the local FFLs, to hell with Wal Mart. To hell with Wal Mart's grocery stores and their rotten vegetables as well. |

I have to agree. I've seen people wait for 10 to 20 minutes at my local wal mart for someone, anyone who knows how to fill out firearms paperwork, and then leave without a gun after some lady from electronics apologizes that 'jim' or 'bill' aren't there and they're the only ones who know the paperwork. This just means that the gun owners of this country will need to be even bigger ambassadors of the sport, the heritage, and the civic duty of gun ownership. No ranting, screaming, talking about how you'll snipe the first three ATF guys who come for your guns... just calm, logical, non-threatening information and truth about how important this freedom is. |

Went to two walmarts a few days ago.
First stop was at the usual place to buy out whatever stock they had of WWB .40S&W 100 packs. They still sell guns and ammo...but didnt have any .40 left. On the way to the range I stopped off at a newly constructed walmart....they had plenty of ammo...no guns!!! Bastards!!! Looks like they will go the way of Sears. |

Or they'll jack up their already inflated prices, becuase they are the only game in town
Not anymore. It used to be this way. The only stores that can get handguns anymore, whether it is a special order or not, is the Alaska stores. WM stopped allowing special order of handguns about 4-5 years ago. |

There was a post a few days ago, discussing this, in the post was a link to walmarts customer service dept, you could email them, concerning their gun sales. I emailed saying if they stopped selling firearms, and ammo, I would stop shopping there and at sam's, and personally and through my business, I spend approx 300k annually with them and sam's. They emailed back saying:" Our decision to stop selling firearms and ammo in 1000 stores, was based on firearm sells in those stores, and the stores where guns and ammo were good sellers, they would continue selling them. If anyone would like a copy of their reply, I can email it to you. If this is strictly a business decision, not to stock guns and ammo where they don't sell, then it makes sense, but if they are caving to anti gunners, screw em'. If my local wally world keeps selling then I will keep buying, if they stop, I won't shop there. My local walmart sells a shit load of guns and ammo, if they stop there, then they are caving.

They are trying to get into the Chicago market and I would not be suprised if this wasn't a bid to placate fuckwad Daley.
Then I heard on Paul Harvey the other day that WalMart is adding gourmet coffee and organic products to its line. WTF??? |

Walmarts here in Nebraska still selling guns, some of them have reloading supplies and equipment.
What they don't have is Winchester Dynapoints, dammit. |

I know a lot of you are WM haters, but we need to wage a letter writing campaign about this.
The guns in WM are a big deal for making guns mainstream. Force the sheeple to look at them. Tell them that the gun display is the ONLY reason you shop there. We need to make WM fear the gun lobby. |

We don't have reloading stuff at ours, but we have plenty of dynapoints.
