Proper Gun Handling by Walmart Staff!!!

[Moparmike]

Holy Crap! I found a clerk that knew something about guns in a Wal-mart! He even cleared the chamber before handing one to me. That absolutely stunned me! Hell, we even chatted guns! But, a disclaimer: He wasnt some young punk (older gentleman), and even discussed how his 'new' dept. manager had nary an idea what he was doing, and from the impression I got, didnt want to be there in SG.

Just had to get that off my chest.


Even more stunning, he had 8mm Mauser! Ok, so it was only one box. But he had it! Other locals havent even heard of an 8mm Mauser.

Whats more, this store had 2 boxes of .35 Wheelen! (200gr Rem. Ultra Core-Lokt SP) Any one want me to get them and ship them to you? Tamara, dont you have a .35 Wheelen?

Mike, I'd be willing to bet that the gentleman in Wal-Mart is retired military, next time you see him please ask if he is or isn't ex military.

I noticed "Firearms Certified" as a suffix to one Wal-mart salesclerk's nametag. Does anyone have info about this? He was busy selling paint at the time so I didn't ask him about it.

Probably means he is qualified to fill out a Form 4473 and call the FBI.

The 'young punk' in a WalMart around here is actually quite a knowledgable fellow, chatted with him before. Was chatting about ammo and he mentioned the new (at the time) .223WSSM, which I haden't seen yet, and that it was a pretty radical design. Guy opened up a box and handed me one, crazy little screamer of a cartridge, just like he said

At anyrate, I've been rather impressed by the gun-counter employees at WalMart I have to say.

to become certified to sell a firearm at wally world you have to be over 18. pass several "computer based learning" tests with a score of 100%. and be trained in the filling out of the 4473, and the NICS check. SOME areas also require the person selling the firearm to have had their fingerprints taken, and a background check run on them through the police dept.
