I wish mine would, I havent been able to find any useful ammo for weeks (looking for Rem 9 & 45 jhp valpacks, Fed 223 or 22lr, 12ga slugs or buck). Who wants a WWB 50rd box of 357Sig or Win 30-06 SP, they've had one box of each for 5 weeks?

Yep. Email came down from Home Office on Tuesday, only 6 boxes per person per day.
Had to sign a statement stating that it could be up to job termination if found to be selling more than 6. |

WTF, I can has 6 boxes blazer brass (300 rounds) or I can has 6 boxes WWB value pack (600 rounds). CCI 22LR comes 100 per, remington subsonic comes 50 per if they break up the brick. WTF. |

No problem here. Last few months I've managed to get about 4 boxs total from 3 different stores.
I still think it's a BS rule. Someone comes in they should be able to buy all they want if it's available. If I miss out it's my tough luck........... |

I know free market and all but I agree with this. Especially the part where gun stores are sending their employees in to buy it all. It is bullshit especially when I have to drive 40 miles to get to a Wal-Mart so would like to be able to get a brick of .22lr if I am in town. If people are buying it to keep that is one thing but buying it to sell it for profit just pisses me off.

I got up at 4:30 am this morning and was in there by 5:15 because the truck comes in on Wed. night and they said they have it stocked in the morning... there were two small cases of WWB 9mm but no 22LR federal bulk pack.
Left with no ammo. Oh well, better luck next week. Oh, and they also had the 6 box per customer limit. |

New Wal Mart opened yesterday, 2.5 hours later NO AMMO LEFT. And they were limiting purchases.
People were standing in line, like black friday.

The other day I noticed Wal-Mart here actually had some .223 in. I asked how much, the clerk got a box out and brought it over and said $42.97/100
 He counted and said there's 10 boxes there and acted like he expected me to buy it all. I didn't get any.

Yep, local Walmart here said other gun shop owners were coming in and buying everything on Walmarts shelves every day. Than doubling the price and selling it to the gunshop customers. That would be $44 for a box of WWB 9mm, and there is litterally 100+ boxes of WWB on the local shelves of the gunstore next to me for $44. I hope that more people will be able to buy from Walmart now and the gunshop owners will be stuck with their $44 boxes of 9mm.

what sucks is that the walmarts by me all said that they are not getting the large shipments of ammo like they used to. The counter guy said that they used to get large skids of ammo. He sadly laughed and said "today we got TWO 50rd boxes of Blazer.....nobody used to buy the blazer just the WWB and now it lasted 30 seconds"

Good. right now its the only way to limit this "false speculation" that is being driven by cocksuckers. no different than ticket scalping. And since it aint some gubbmint law its private coorporation none of these jerk off "free marketeers" can go

BS or not...they ARE acting like capitalists. They know that if they limit sales, they will draw more people into their store while still selling the same amount of ammo. More people in the store means more shit sold=profit. Not that I like it, but it makes perfect sense on their part.

It is a smart plan on Wal Mart's end. As someone said as more people come in to buy ammo it increases the chances that someone will make a secondary purchase of something other than ammo.
