I'll believe it when I see them in stores. No way I'm believing one 3 line article and I can't find any other news sources making that claim.

That there is some scary stuff.
It's already hard enough to make it in the gun business with WM in the long gun business. I shudder to think what they might do to the already razor thin profit margin on handguns!!! TD |

You are 100% correct but we have to sell/inventory the new stuff to generate the foot traffic to sell the used stuff. The profit margin on most new guns is roughly 10% on a good day. TD |

TD Not only that but there is a selection of "Wal-Mart" Guns that regular retails simply can't touch. Some guns, as well as packages, are made specifically for Wal-mart. Dealer's simply can't price match an item that either they can't get in the first place, or that Wal-Mart retails below their cost. |

I go to Wally World for some regular stuff but trying to get anything at the gun counter is a total PITA. Most of the time there is no one around and if you can catch someone's attention it takes them forever to send over the guy with the key. And their selection sucks. And they don't know what they are looking at. And their pricing is really not that much cheaper to make it worth the hassle. And you have to buy it at that counter and not up front with the rest of your supplies. Just not worth it to me.

Hi-Points and Taurus and Rugers oh my.
WalMart has found out the only reason the white male demographic bothered to venture into their store. Stores with no ammo I didn't bother setting foot inside. I need a good reason to wade into a sea of bored illegals, and the view at Target is much better. http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/?page_id=9798 |

according to the last few articles I've read, Walmart is bringing back long-gun sales to a lot of stores, but is not bringing back handguns.
