Agreed; that sounds about right. IIRC, you could order handguns through a catalog for some time after that, but they've stopped doing even that.Jorg said:Walmart announced it would stop stocking handguns in US stores back in 1993 ...
All 3 sell long guns, ammo and reloading components.
Lawsuits have never dictated to the brass heuvoed giant. They could care less about lawsuits. They are sued on a regular basis for everything from preditory practices to exploitation of woman to immigration to federal wage & hour. Those suits have yet to bite them in their boyttom line but P&L and point of sale concerns make 'em crazy.Not only margins, but stupid lawsuits. The one in Denton, just up the road a piece, sold a rifle to someone who subsequently committed suicide with it.
nope haven't seen a handgun in a wal mart in a long time, since i was a kid.Does Your Wal-Mart Have Handguns?
Nowdays, I'd bet you can't find six itmes in any WAL-MART, that was not made in China.
As an exercise look over a Wally World Employment App sometime.Walmarts here don't sell long guns or handguns. Supposedly they stopped selling the long guns because they couldn't keep enough people on the payroll who could properly fill out the 4473 forms. At least, that's what I heard was the reason they stopped selling guns here.
