Maybe Illinois is behind the times. Walmart had been selling ARs for some time now.

I agree. The Wal-Marts I have visited in Kansas and Oklahoma are well stocked with AR's, including Colt, S&W and DPMS.

No guns at walmarts in ohio, at least not any of the ones I've been in for at least 5 years now.

Kyle, both the Lancaster and Logan WM's carry firearms and have for quite some time. Stores closer to large cities do not carry them though.

Wally Worlds around here have black guns and wooden ones and plastic ones. We have had them for a really long time.

Mine carried them up until about 05 then stopped, I keep hearing there going to start to again but I've yet to see it. The funny thing is my local walmart is in a small city of about 13,000 people, the nearest large city is columbus and it's 50 miles away.

I have seen ARs in walmarts here in Maine for awhile, no AKs yet tho....

You may be missing part of the point. This is in the Walmart Black Friday ad. You do not get anymore mainstream than the Walmart Black Friday ad.

 

[rhinoh]

At least two years, maybe more in WalMarts around here...often in printed ads during that time too.

Anyone know the normal price on that? might have to grab one for my son iff its actually a good deal..

Course it has to be a heck of a deal to get me to go out on Black Friday with them CRAZY people...

I live in a major metropolitan area in Florida and the Wal Mart near me has had ARs for awhile.

Don't know where in Ohio you are but I have yet to see any in the Cleveland area. Wonder why they don't seem to stock guns here in Ohio like they once did? ;(

Wal-Marts policy is

to sell whatever sells best in a particular area. Their electronics department always makes significantly more than their sporting goods department so, if there is no or little call for certain items they will reallocate the foor space to whatever sells better. Also, I think their district managers have a certain amount of discretion as to what to stock and what not to. In Auburn ME, our Walmart has a great sporting goods department with several AR's and mini 14's while Falmouth has no long guns what so ever. Even some of the more rural ones don't have guns. Go figure.

There is plenty in the South Western Ohio WalMarts. Not all WalMarts stock and sell guns, but the ones that do almost always have ARs these days.

[grubbylabs]

$917 currently here in Iowa. Just recently picked one up in OD green and now they're going on sale...go figure. Gotta say though, it really is a nice rifle. Mine has been 100% reliable so far and is proving to be pretty dang accurate.
