When I travel to Austin for work, one of my offices are in the area and I have been in there several times. However, the nice thing is that about 15 more minutes of driving will get you to a Cabela's.

No and I'm glad they don't. To many people buy too much shit from walmart (myself sometimes included). Yes, my gun shops cost more, and if they are way over line then I get what I want from gunbroker and have it shipped to them where I pay a reasonable fee. That to me is more rewarding than buying it from the gay ass walmare with its douchebag employees.

Well you are in MI.

The one south of Austin, is actually quite nice as far as firearms and selection goes. Far better then any Bass Pro I have ever been to. Especially when you walk into there collectors display room. Some really nice guns for many many $$$$$

There are 5 Wal Marts within 10 miles or so of me, and I think all but one of them sells guns (at least 3 do). The one that doesn't still sells ammo.

They have a nice collection of mounts in that one. I also think Cabelas has one of the better selections of clothing for the $. I have a Duhnams and Gander Mountain 5 miles so I do not go to walmart unless I need TP..
