No. My town's Wal-Mart pulled their guns just last week. At least they still sell ammo.

I picked up some ammo at a Wally World two nights ago here in Tennessee, and they still have long arms (they have never sold handguns at this particular one). One customer was doing the paperwork on a rifle purchase while I was getting my ammo.
About 10 years ago, I lived in a differet city in this state, and the super WM there sold handguns, but that is the only WM I've been in that did so. |

I noticed there were no guns in a Wal-Mart in Melbourne, FL when I was there a few days ago. Thought it was a local thing.

There's a walmart that sells handguns?? WTF?!!! Handguns are evil, almost as evil as black rifles!! Duck hunters don't want or need handguns or evil black rifles. |

Well, I think it was a good first post.
I don't pay any attention to WallyWorld threads under normal conditions. BUT, I was in my local WalMart the day before yesterday and I noticed that all the guns were gone. I wondered what was up with that. It doesn't matter to me. I don't buy guns or ammo at WalMart. But now I know what happened. |

The Kaliban suspended Wal-Marts firearms sales several years ago, after a series of DROS mistakes. Wal-Mart decided at that time to end firearms sales in all of Kalifornia. |

Most Wal-Marts sell handguns but you have to order them from their catalog, they dont carry them in stock.

In New Jersey they don't sell anything to do with guns. They sell some hunting supplies but no ammo or guns. The only guns they sell are paintball guns.

I'm hauling freight for Wal-Mart for the rest of the week. Store deliveries and such...
They have instituted a new anti-idling policy company wide. What that means, is I can't run my truck when it's 25 degrees out to stay warm when I sleep. I guess they got in a tangle with the EPA and figured if little Billy Gates can't beat the feds, nobody can. I have no idea about the firearms issue yet... |

There are several walmarts within driving distance from my house. The walmart in the "bad" part of town does not stock guns, but carries ammo. The others that I've been to still have rifles on the racks.

This is a true story: My dad and I parked the Mack he was driving (pulling a dump trailer) at a convenience store a while back. We went in while it was sitting there idling and got some soda and on our way out, a guy was smoking a cigarette outside and he complained about the diesel smoke. I kid you not. |

Actually the whole automotive section.....it promotes drunk driving. Need to recall all cosmetics.....allergic reactions and global warming problems with the fingernail polish remover. Electrical appliances....you gotta be kiddin', too dangerous to have a KitchenAid mixer near the tub. Clothing Dept....nope, gotta go.....flammable. Lawn & Garden....EPA would have seizures if they knew the Sevin dust wasn't behind the counter. Welcome to the New Walmart: With Low, Low Discounts on condoms, aquarium supplies and Cheetoes.

And they'll be flying the Republic of China flag from now on.
Terrific opportunity for small business FFL's to flourish. Wally is figuring they can get a bigger following by being a good corporate citizen (see the Andrew Young association) and avoiding the wrath of Congress. In the poor and black communities selling guns is not a bonus to those who vote. I can just see the new zoning laws coming about where the Liquor and tobacco stores, the Adult stores and Firearms dealers will be zoned into the backwaters of the communities as co-equal pariahs. |

Wal-Marts in Alaska sell handguns, glock, sig, smith and wesson, AR15's, AK47's, ect. . They are also on display in the store. But like I said. They want to much money on some guns. I think the AK that I saw in there before was a Century one. Fred Myer stocks handguns too. Alaska is a very Free state.

I'm in LA right now and the two Wally Worlds I've been to have low stock on guns, and very low stock on ammo. People keep talking about an ammo shortage and looking at Wal Mart's shelves many might believe them.
Bass Pro here is also low on ammo. Don't know why, but they do have plenty of guns (no EBRs though). |

Ok, just heard this on the news during chow...
As posted in another thread, Wal-Mart is going "upscale". At the top of the list they showed on Fox/CNN/??? whatever it was, was NO GUNS, followed by less fishing supplies, greater selection of khaki's and polo shirts, coffee shop's etc. Well, at least if any of the little guys survived the last 10 years, their gun shop should get busy again!

I talked with the lady in charge of the sporting goods section at my loca Walmart about these rumors. She said that her particular store is not going to stock many rifles because they are going upscale - she was advising me to snap up any of the cheap Winchesters they had before the $1,000+ rifles arrived (her words). Said the gun department is going way upscale.

Hey, I live 1O minutes from that WM in North Olmsted. From what I have noticed most of the WM stores around here have cut way back the last few years. There is a new "supercenter" WM out in Geneva Ohio. Maybe next week I will stop to check their inventory. They are kind of out in the boonies and have a lot more hunters per capita I bet. We will see how well they understand demographics. Also if you are at the N.O. WM and absolutely must have a rifle (no pistols or EBRs) Dicks is just about 1000 yards away. I'm looking at getting one of thier Savages in 22-250 for PD hunt next year. That Accutrigger is sweet.

It's not a good thing to see any source of guns dry up. I take no joy in this.
But then, I'm not a retarded anti-capitalist.

I think this has more to do with volume of merchandise sold vs costs of maintaining inventory and the fact that Walmart doesn't wish to pay the amount to hire knowledgable employees to work the gun counters...so they've screwed themselves with mistakes on firearms purchases (fines and investigations). My local 'upscale' Walmarts don't carry guns anymore, and I really can't blame them. The guns don't move off the shelf quickely enough so they're just sitting there costing the company money. The shotguns and rifles seem to move faster in the more rural stores and those stores still sell them. Sure, I hate seeing a gun source dry up but I have less expensive stores with better selections to choose from. Walmart isn't even the best deal on ammo in my city. I can get WWB 9mm and .40 at about the same price locally (hell, sometimes American Eagle is cheaper and in greater supply at my local Turners Outdoorsman) and I know a store that sells M193 at $92 per 500rd case. |
