The local Walmarts have a sign at the gun counter stating they cannot/will not ship to residents from certain states. I think Alabama and California are some of them... does anyone know anything about this? I tried calling them and got put on hold for 15 minutes and then hung up on...

I'd guess state laws and/or a specfic company policy.

WalMart has been drifting away from guns for some time now. Some of them don't even sell anything Firearm related now.

I have seen those signs in Wal-Mart since 1994.

California is really picky (among other states) and Wal-Mart does not want to worry about liability.

Wal-Marts operate in California, and they don't piss the state AG off.

Same deal.

It is all about keeping within state laws.

Utah is extremely, I mean EXTREMELY pro-gun. So it might not be a good starting state,  

But other states may have unique laws.

I am not 100% familiar with Alabama, but I would bet that it has something to do with state laws...

You should have faxed them your avatar photo. If they are anything like me, they are unable to hang up on a pretty girl.

I try.

As far as your question goes, I think Walmart means they don't do FFL transfers. As for why, I worked for Walmart for 5 months & 24 days.

I can honestly say logic, reasoning, etc, do not go together with Walmart management.
