We (Sheriff's Office) have been notified by our local WalMart that effective today, the following rules at WalMart are in place.  We were told this applies to all WalMarts.
1)  No open carry.  If you open carry you will be asked to return your gun to the car.
2) After existing stocks of ammo are depleted, they will no longer sell handgun ammo
3) After existing stocks are depleted they will no longer sell 5.56, 7.62x39 or .223 ammo
4) WalMart will no longer sell semi auto centerfire rifles.

Just telling you what WalMart told us.

LOL

so say they get another crazy look to shoot up a Walmart.

You think some Walmart employee is going to start yelling "excuses me no open carrying here!"

North or South Georgia? If South, they will lose a $h*t load of customers and money. Especially the male demographic.

Where’s the memo?

As it stands now I don’t believe you.  No offense

ETA: Well I stand corrected.

This will have ramifications across the board

It could be their local WM is doing that. It’s not necessarily a national decision.

I haven't seen walmart selling semiauto centerfire rifles since they stopped carrying AR-15s

Not that Walmart still doesn't suck overall but that have had some pretty great ammo deals at times.

This and mirroring another poster, I don't believe it entirely unless there is a scan or photo of a memo.

Sounds like a dickhead local store manager or some sporting goods counter jockey Fudd that is yanking people's chain or trying to flex their muscle.  Our local store had a "progressive" produce manager try telling the other departments that the new store policy was to call the police on open carriers.  Didn't end well for her...

Then again, for every 1 person that says they'll boycott WM, about 1.5 million will cuck under and go in anyway...  A company of that size can do pretty much what it wants (look into their "dead peasant policies" they used to take out on their employees, ended in 2000 but still, WOW!) and due to convenience, the shoppers will go along with it.

Those rules, if they go into effect, won't solve anything except maybe to placate some anti-gun people.

Not like I shopped at the flea ridden ghetto mart anyways. I swear they give discounts to people with neck tattoos or something, its ridiculous.

If I cant find it at Target I just order it online.

Would be surprised if it's true nationwide.  If so I'll have to watch out and see if they mark stuff down here.  Otherwise I don't really buy much at Walmart.

i literally just got a text from a buddy in north Florida that said he just spoke with some managers at some Walmarts and they told him they were going to stop selling 556 223. Just going to sell remaining inventory but not reorder.

LOL. I’m surprised by anyone that is surprised by this.

Even if this is a local dickhead manager, this policy is coming.

There's a walmart fairly close to me that turned ghetto probably 15 years ago.  They stopped selling guns and ammo around that time.  Considering the location I didn't really blame them.  I haven't been in that store in at least 15 years.  Not sure if their address is actually ferguson, but they're right on the edge.  I don't know OP's area but I could see it happening in a "diverse" area.  In a rural area, doubt it.

It would be nice if they were reasonable. You can't have a 50% markup in the age of online retail.

I live in a town of 9000 people. Our only gun shop closed (owner died) about a month or so ago.

Wal-Mart is the only place to buy ammo without driving 50+ miles.

Sucks. I guess mail order will have to do. I will have to be more diligent in where my stock numbers are.

These companies are under tremendous pressure by a very vocal and united opposition.

Meanwhile we attack each other, and watch the NRA squander our resources in ill-fitted Italian suits and nepotistic hiring.

I'm in the home of Wal-Mart here in Bentonville Ar. I can absolutely see this happening, considering some of the douchebags that are running the company now. Locally they never seem to have any 556 or 7.62 anyway. There's a hole on the shelf, but that's about it.
Unfortunately, doing business with the big W here is almost a lock, as they pretty well own the grocery market here.

The closest target to me seems to be trying to earn "preferred carjacking location" from the local criminals.

Not to mention with all the corporate sjw, gender neutral restroom shit, I just can't bear to go in one anymore.

It isn't going to do anything to stop crime and I am sure that it was a source for local law abiding.

I can honestly say that I've never bought a firearm at Wally World and can count the times I've bought ammo there on one hand.

I buy ammo by the 'thousand round giant economy size' anyway.

I'll live.
